    As a way to cope with not being sosical and going out this past year, my girlfriend and I make big, tasty dinners for the weekends. This is my go to channel, and on thursday nights before I write a shopping list, I always visit this channel to see what fun stuff you make. This recipe was home run! Thank you!

      No girlfriend unfortunately but similar to you, I've had a blast incorporating some of Steve's recipes! One tip that worked for me is to watch and take what you want from his "what I keep in my pantry" video. once I did that, making his recipes became even easier!

    For anyone who hasn't tried them, the Bianco di Napoli tomatoes makes a huge difference. They have just the right balance of sweetness and acidity that allows you to have a great tomato sauce without cooking it for hours and adding a lot of seasoning.

    As an retired chef, you bring me joy viewing your posts. While I attended C.I.A. I would visit the city and eat in my classmates family restaurant in So Ho. Her Italian Mother and Father treated me like a son! You know what I mean… always trying to feed me! Sundays was family day where the father would make pasta while we stood around and drank wine. You bring back such good memories for me. Bravo!

    They are so good, you can use them raw for pizza sauce

    You have saved my life again! I've been trying to recreate my nonnas stuffed shells for so long but I don't make them often enough(though I might now)
    I remember her specifically saying she used a lemon filling but she wouldn't say how much lol. I always thought lemon juice was the obvious answer but it seems like it never really packs that lemony punch that hers did. It also becomes too watery and I always had to mess with the ingredients it never seemed quite as good as hers. I think she used the zest! You're a genius and this is a game changer! It came out so good! Thank you so so much!

    I'll have to try these tomatoes. I like to use Alta Cucina brand plum tomatoes, usually get em from amazon. I've worked at a lot of pizza places in my 20s(fellow New Yorker here too), and almost all of them used that brand for their sauces. Very popular from everything I've heard about them but I personally love the flavor of them and have used them for years. Another great recipe, I love stuffed shells. One of my favorite comfort foods on the planet, ate them all the time growing up.
