Tried your last recipe. I didn't expect much because of the few ingredients but wow it Turned out amazing. Oh and I also added a bit of Italian seasoning. Elevated the flavor.
Multa Bona, Domine!!!!!!
Tried the Cacio e Pepe with homemade black pepper pasta. I couldn't get the sauce to emulsify. It was edible but…. Maybe the ratio of cheese to pasta water or the temperature? It was edible still……I wanted to like to better. Made it with Romano cheese (not many varieties available where I live). I did open a 10 month old parmesan style homemade cheese and will try with that next.
What kind pasta please?
Thanks for sharing brother
You can use a LARGE LADLE and use that big fork to spin the pasta in the ladle. Then plate it. It makes an amazing pasta nest. Easy, simple, and makes it look like you actually know what your doing! Lol😂 That’s last statement is pertaining to my meagre kitchen skills. 😢 But I try! I would love to have what I make look like it’s actually supposed to. Kinda like the picture they show at MacDonalds or hungry jacks, but what you get usually isn’t the same. Most times you’re lucky if the cheese is put on them straight and not only half on your burger.
What if we only have regular pepper from the store? Do the same thing?
Gonna teach myself how to make the best Italian pastas I can I love pasta & gonna learn to make the same quality I go to restaurants for thanks for the vid 💯
You should not add that much salt in the water when you have to add pepper and Pecorino after (it's already a salty cheese).
Cioè dico il colesterolo a mille proprio.
Love your videos. You make everything look so easy and the dishes you prepare look delicious. Love the tips they are so helpful. Do you have a video on how to make Chicken and Shrimp Carbonara.
The recipes are completely wrong, you are an amateur.

Never use fresh pasta for aglio olio e pepperoncino because it lacks the Al dente factor that is the star of this particular recipe. Only dry thick pasta like spaghettoni
What meat would pair well with this?
Love from India 😍😋😋
everything looks so delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you truly War Lord!!!!!!!!
Love the aglio oloio e pepperoncino. We just tried it for the first time while in Roma. Have yet to try making it at home. All the pasta was very firm in Italy. Thanks!
On that first one I would add some Rotel tomatoes
Nice idea, mouthwatering 😋
Billy I've got a question! Would the original recipe for Alfredo be done the same way considering the original recipe for Alfredo sauce didn't include cream or milk?
I love your apreach to food
Ill try your recipes
Great recepies but I only had one issue watching the video. The subtitles covered the cooking part of the dishes.
These are awesome recipes.
That last dish is the wife’s favorite but I never actually knew the name. All there are really delicious
Where can I get that pot with a built in strainer
I never ever thought I'd be salivating over pasta with cheese and pepper… I mean, like wow!
You always have great videos. Thank you Chef
Amazing content. Seriously so helpful I love your videos man. You're elevating my cooking for sure
Please put measurements in metric for the rest of us in the world.
I watched a lot of cooking channels, and I must say you’re the easiest to follow. Such clear instructions, explained in a way anyone can understand. I appreciate what you do 👌
"Easy to make recipes"
Starts by roasting peppercorns and grinding with a mortar and pestle 🤣
Thank you chef !!
Wow! Absolutely delicious! Just made the first two. I highly recommend trying. Thank you Chef Billy!!
Thank you chef
Easy and delicious
Please do crabmeat and linguiniiiiiiii
You missed out on the third quintessential Roman pasta: Carbonara, which is “a la Gricia”, but with egg yolks added.
The trick to the cheese combo is to use about 1/2 Pecorino Romano and 1/2 Parmigiano Reggiano. You get an even deeper flavor and more creaminess. Pecorino is very salty, so be careful with the added salt!
Great 3 Italian pasta recipes! It's so easy that I can easily follow your way then it turns to great pasta 👍 Thanks for the tips 💜
Thank you, Chef, you explain very well the options in the ingredients to use such as the cheeses, pasta fresh or dry. How to balance the dish with (hot) not boiling water and so on. You are a very good teacher and I noticed in every video you make, you stop cooking and explaine the why and don'ts. Love to learn from you. Best Regards. .👍❤
