I can't tell you how fun this episode was to make! Ada is so special and I hope you all enjoy learning from her as much as I did. Also, be sure to check out Pasta Grannies channel for a lot more pasta education (pastacation)!
Honestly moving to Italy to make pasta every day sounds like the best personal and professional decision you could ever make. DO IT
Thankyou for all your information and sharing with us. Also the lioness and enjoyment you bring. Sometimes we forget that cooking can be fun, healthy and most of don't look at cooking like that.
There was so much love in this episode. ❤️ Thank you.
Sage butter with fresh pasta once almost made me cry because it was so good. Highly recommend.
During lockdown 20 I spent hours daily working on my pasta. I got pretty good at it. The tragedy was that I couldn't share it with anyone. The more practice you do the easier it gets.
I just love that guy! Absolute riot and a great teacher!
Aww, Dan is so cute and funny, and his vids are always full of so much info. The "please stand by" section was hilarious!!🥰
Grazie Ada! Lei ha fatto la pasta deliziosa.
очень интересно)
Great episode Dan! I’m inspired to cook my wife a dinner with fresh pasta, butter and cheese. Have you thought about doing an episode on vanilla? There’s French, Mexican, Madagascar, vanilla bean, etc. It’s popularity and some common or uncommon uses.
This is the best segment that America's Test Kitchen's youtube channel currently has.
Oh my, that pumpkin pasta looks soooooo good.
I love pasta grannies!!!
6:25 let dan be free!! Free Dan!!
Thank you for documenting and sharing the interview/demo. Wonderful. Cultural, culinary, human. Thanks.
sorry Dan. Everything Ada showed you, and showed us over her stints on Pasta Grannies, is totally different than what you did. I think you would do well to use the tried and true methods of 80, 90, almost 100 year old Nonne…
You pronouncing italian pasta shape names not in your natural accent but as if you’re a native italian talking to other native italians is so embarrassing.
Great episode, Dan! I learned quite a bit and can't wait to make my next batch of fresh pasta.
Greetings Dan!
😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for this episode! We have a pasta attachment for our Kitchen Aid mixer but haven't found a recipe I like for the dough. Now I have one, thanks Dan (and Ada).
That's the most beautiful video I have ever seen from ATK . She is Amazing 😘💖💝✟✡✟ 🇺🇸
Thanks for this video. I'm inspired to make homemade pasta again; it's been a while. I have a Marcato Atlas 150 hand cranked pasta roller/cutter for small batches, as well as a Marcato Pasta Fresca electric mixer/roller/cutter for larger batches, but I really need to practice making it by hand, as my grandmother taught me to how do more than 50 years ago.
Dan, you are so much fun—perfect blend of laughs and learning. This is your best one yet( and I’ve watched the donut one six times at least). Keep ‘em coming.
An other fantastic content 🙂 I'm big fan of yours. If you ever decide to come to Italy consider to pass trough Bologna. It would be amazing!!!
DA! This was AWESOME! I love Ada! You should definitely take her up on her invitation! In the mean time, I'll give this pasta a try! looks delish!
Dan…. is good !!
Hahaha the way Dan tries to escape gives The Office vibes
omgosh, thank you Dan & Ada
( Ada is so beautiful! )
Dan, if Ada is serious about teaching you, you HAVE to go! I’d leave in a heartbeat, too.
As a matter of fact, if you guys need help doing dishes, keeping the kitchen clean, washing & folding laundry, sweeping, dusting, tending the garden ~ I’m free! It would be heaven!
Oooo that’s how my grandma made pasta dough—ravioli dough. We sat at the table, rolled a little, filled and cut them to her guidance. Wow way back back.
My two favorite YouTube channels combine!! Heaven!! 😍
Bravo Dan! Come sempre ti amo!! Voglio mangiare questa pasta con te. Gran' baccio!!
Dan, this is a great video and I really enjoyed seeing you and Ada. This is exactly how my mom would make pasta although her rolling pin was not nearly as long. Ada must be very strong. The action of hanging the dough over the side is very important and one I use too. My maternal grandmother also made it this way and would make many many ravioli. Since she didn't have a large place to lay them out, they were put on top of a freshly cleaned and ironed sheet on top of the bed. Just picture a whole bed full of ravioli!
As a child it was my job to seal them with a fork. Dan if I were you I would get your butt to Italy and stay with Ada, that is something you should not miss! Or come to my house in FL and we will make ravioli. Xo
Dream collab! I follow and love both these channels. Much love to hand-rollers everywhere.
I learned so much from this episode! Can't wait to get into the kitchen. Thanks!
Thank you. I really love this series and it's always informative
Dan. Thank you for pronouncing the Italian words correctly.
You know Ada would tell Dan that he's too skinny. He'd come back from Italy a bit thicker. 🤣 Mangia!
Thanks for highlighting Pasta Grannies. I have been following them for about a year.
Always looking forward to Dan's videos. This reminds me of my 83 -year-old mom who makes noodles weekly with a long rolling pin just like granny Ada does pasta.
@pastagrannies is absolutely one of my favorite channels. Thanks for the collab.
Two channels I love Pasta Grannies & What's Eating Dan in the best of all mashups. 👍
