Question, How many Grandmas does it take to teach thousands of people traditional Italian cooking? 1, her name is Grandma Gina. Thumbs up for another great lesson and a nice bonus song. You brighten up our days.
I just wanted to let you know that you have no idea what this video did for my soul today. I was SO fortunate to have my Italian Grandmother live with us when I grew up until she passed about the time I graduated High School. She taught me from a very young age how to cook all of the best Italian dishes and watching this beautiful, lovely woman, Gina, in this video brought back so many memories of time spent in the kitchen with my Grandmother. They are SO much alike in SO many ways. I already know how to make Sausage & Peppers, but I was compelled to watch this video anyway. Sometimes you learn something new, and I am all about that because I don't know everything and can always learn something if you keep an open mind. I am so glad I did, hug her for me! You are creating a priceless treasure here with these videos. Thank you, you have a faithful subscriber. I can't wait to watch more!!
When I'm not in a great mood, i watch Buon-a- Pettiti and my Gina instantly makes me happy. I wish we were neighbors so I could enjoy your company. You are truly a blessing to everyone.
Seriously, how pathetic can 91 people's lives be to go out of their way and give this beautiful lady a thumbs down? Thumbs down for what may I ask, please you cowards let me know? Actually very sad because you know how miserable they must be! The 5,900 thumbs up are greatly deserved and the 91 thumbs down are not, not even 1 of them. God bless Grandma Gina she is beautiful, talented, and admired by many!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She IS beautiful! I love watching her cook! If those 91 idiots would actually listen to her stories about how she grew up with no oven, just a fireplace and how she and her family grew their own food, (which she still does AND makes her own sauce) maybe they would appreciate her more. 91 have had everything handed to them their entire lives and don’t appreciate anything.
I love when Gina sings🇮🇹❤️ Gina should tell more stories about about her past in Italy, perhaps a Q & A . I’m sure everyone would love to hear her story 💕
Ok. I am now seriously addicted. I spend part of every day watching. I think I’m a pretty good cook, but I’m learning so much and Gina makes my heart happy. 💕💕💕💕
Dear Gina, my husband and I made the sausage and peppers just the way you said how too. And he's said to tell you thank you it was delicious! and he's so glad I found you on UA-cam. Jesus our LORD bless you and your family amen. we love you , thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes with us.
How wonderful that so many of us have chosen to abandon the anger and despair of news vendors, and have gathered around this absolutely captivating lady, who holds us spellbound with her pure magic!
Made this once for a large crowd of my wife's Italian family and they went crazy for it! Watched the video again tonight and my mouth is literally watering. It's so good. She is amazing and the dish is so good. Try it, I promise you you will love it.
She is a Treasure.. God love you sweet Gina and your family for capturing these precious Italian cooking lessons. She is a tribute to all of our dear mothers, aunts, and grandmothers for carrying on their tradition of love and sharing.
God bless her. When she was singing, it made me cry. I never had the blessing of knowing a grandmother's love when growing up. Then she started waving those big knives around in the air as she spoke in Italian, and I had to laugh out loud. Precious!😘
WOW, I love the ending..... Yes, God bless America! Gina, you are such a wonderful woman and I love your singing. Thanks so much for taking the time to make your cooking videos. I share your videos with close friends who like to cook. Love, Kenny in Vegas.
Gina, you make me start crying when you started singing......what a beautiful soul so are....I love your recipe very very much. May God Bless you always as you continue to bring sunshine into a not so bright world. KEEP ON SINGING GINA, WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!
doodie5009 I agree with you 100% just found Gina’s channel about a week ago watch her every night before bed. She is a living angel here on earth. Lots of love and prayers for continued health and success.
So grateful I am.....to see you prepare these tasty and homey dishes. I was not allowed into my mothers kitchen.....and I did not have a living grandma.....so.....you now are my grandma. I have learned many cooking skills on my own.....but I so much enjoy your generous foodie preparations. Gratis!!
Greetings from Knoxville TN....Nona!! I made this recipe last night for my Italian food loving husband (who comes from New Jersey!) and he RAVED about how delicious and authentic it was! Just like he used to get up North from an Italian lady friend!(So much that he wants leftovers tonight on a nice roll!!) THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! You made this Irish girl a bigger hit with my hubby than before! He said he didn't think he could love me more than he already did, but after this meal, he loves me to the moon and back!! Lol!
I love watching Gina for many reasons. One of them is that she's the opposite of my hurry-hurry get-it-done, too serious German personality. She takes her time. She sings. She enjoys the process as much as the food. I can learn so much from her!
What a great gift this series is! Not only to us, who get to meet your grandmother for the first time, but for your family, who will be able to look back on these videos to see not only the recipes, but the joyous woman behind them. God bless you for this!
Thank you Mrs Gina for your show and thank you son-in-law to make this available to us all. Love watching you cook, it's 12h37 am here in Ottawa, Canada and I find it so relaxing watching you, enjoying your happy songs and stories from way back. Now I will have to try this one too. Started doing homemade pasta last year with your video. You have very good recipes, me and my husband enjoy them very much. May our Father, God and Creator bless you Mrs. Gina and all the members of your family.
OK so this morning I told my wife as she was leaving for work that I would make dinner. Being retired, I like to put on the occasional chef hat and prepare dinner for her. I said "I'll make sausage and peppers. She was excited at the suggestion. So, that was my first brownie point for the day. Problem is I had absolutely no idea where to begin in making a good sausage and pepper dinner. I came across this video and looked no further. You were very thorough in your step by step recipe. Looks fantastic. I'm sure I'll score more points with the Mrs. at dinner. Thanks much. God bless you Gina.
Gina, I’m originally from Thailand, my husband is from Spain...we love to watch your videos and listen to you. You cook very good and your singing is beautiful (my husband says he understands a lot of it- I don’t understand but still love it). I hope you realize you touch everyone from around the world. You mentioned working hard when you were younger and now do this...having a purpose in life is important for a happy long life. I hope you know you make everyone happy who watches and learns from you. Thank you
Although I'm now an older man, I learned to cook from my Italian aunt until she was in her late 90's and she could no longer stand long enough to show me. Thank you for reminding me of the best times when food was love, and sharing the kitchen was paradise!
This wonderful woman reminds me so much of my own Grandmother. I was blessed to have her for 37 years of my life and there are so many terrific memories. God Bless, Gina! I'm sure your family feels very lucky to have you!
Mama's Gina accent is so cool, she is singing on English :) . Enjoying watching _real_ Italian food cooking. Wish her a long life, prosperity and health !
love when she sings . my name is Gina Marie and I am NOT italian but everyone thinks I am . I cherish every video so much. You are so blessed to have such a beautiful women in your life and record these amazing moments. she will forever be in my heart.I wish I was italian lol . I was named after a women that was my mothers , (may she rest in peace) best friend. Thank you for sharing her with us.
I love you grandma Gina. The only memories I have of the only grandma I met is of her being sick and her passing. I can only imagine but, if I had more time with her I imagined that she would've been like you but, in her own authentic Jamaican way. I watch you because you make me feel warm inside the way only a grandma can.
i love how italian nonnas cook with such love and make it look so effortless. I LOVE watching Nonna Gina! My husband's family is Italian. We have been married for 52 years and i learned so much from his mother and aunts! Nonna Gina cooks EXACTLY like I remember they always did. I'm still learning. I've made her ministrone and cabbage soup recipes and everyone LOVED those soups! I'm planning on watching and trying more of her wonderful authentic recipes. I've gotten away from cooking so much but Gina has inspired me to get back in the kitchen and start cooking more of these wonderful recipes. I also LOVE listening to her sing too! What a treat!
When is a cooking video more than a cooking video? When the bad news and frustrations of the world seem too much, I come watch Grandma Gina. Thanks and God bless you Gina and family. I never had a family like yours. It’s a balm just listening to you and watching the joy you have in cooking. From another friend in 🇨🇦🙂👍🏻
When in high school one of my good friends was Italian and remains a dear friend. His mother was so generous whenever I visited their home. I never left hungry. She is still alive and sounds so much like you and shares that passion for cooking. Thank you so much for sharing your culture and passion, it really brought tears to my eyes.
I grew up in an Italian section of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and one of my best friends growing up was a kid named Victor, but his mother called him Vito. To this day I have no idea what her real name was because we always called her "Nona" and she didn't speak a lick of English. For years, every time I went over to Victor's house, his mother, who for whatever reason, called me "Steele" would immediately rise up when she saw me walk in the door and she would go to her refrigerator and just empty so much of what was in there onto the table and she would begin to cook for me. I can also honestly say that she made the absolute best spaghetti and meatballs that I have ever had in my entire life, even better than my own mothers, who was full-blooded Italian herself and an excellent cook in her own right. I had no idea how to cook back then but as an adult I have taught myself all that I can on how to cook and of course, I watch videos like this to learn even more. I have tried to duplicate what Victor's mother did but just have not been able to do it. I have managed to come up with some really great batches of sauce and meatballs but not like hers. I was back home there a few years ago and managed to track Victor down and found that not only was his mother still alive, but he still lived at home with her, and Victor, at the time, was somewhere around 50 years old. I asked him to ask his mom if she could share her recipe with me, and he did ask her, but she indicated to him that she cannot remember how she did it and hadn't made it in years. Victor did tell me that she is suffering from Dementia and so I did believe her that she could not remember, but I was sad because after so many years of trying I thought I would finally learn her secret, but it appears that it will go to her grave with her. I am saying all of this to say that this woman reminds me so much of "Nona" and I am looking forward to trying some of her recipes, as I have only discovered her and her channel just today.
@@michaelremillard4215 Man I would love that. I would love before I die to figure out what that woman did. But I would have to say that even the pursuit is half the fun in and of itself.
O My Bella Gina!!!! The wonderful sausage, potatoes and peppers are to absolutely to die for! Together with your canned tomatoes makes everything perfect! Humble and kind, that's what you are. How all the peppers look like beautiful flowers in all their vibrant colors together. It is true, seems all the men love this dish; my father and brother, both Antonio, could have this every day. My mother would pack their lunches with this, they didn't care if it was cold! Tasty crusty bread made a great sub sandwich. Indeed a show-stopper at any party. Party goers say, "Who made the sausage and peppers"? I'd say, "Who else makes a beautiful meal like this? It's Gina!!!" Thank you, my friend, there is a special place in my heart for you right alongside Filomena, Almarinda and Angelina. God bless you now and always. Love, Maria
These videos of Gina are really a family treasure. You are preserving Gina's receipes forever and your family and future generations can learn these traditions. Gina needs to put all of these receipes in a book & sell it here. Its easier to do than you think. My nephew/age 25 wrote two paperback books and they sell on Amazon. The receipe book can be sold here. It would be a great gift for someone!
I cannot believe myself spending hours on my bed watching this lovely lady's cooking videos. I am fastinated by her simple way of cooking... a down to earth method of cooking of real home food. love it very much.
Gina ‘s cooking is a product of love in every way...for the food , her family and those viewing methods & tastes of a day gone by. The simplicity & Joy it brings is worthy of applause. Thank you, Gina for continuing to give all who watch that joy!
My husband and I watched this morning! Nonna Gina! My husband is Italian. I learned how to cook sauce from his father in his kitchen long ago. I remember he shut all the doors and no one was allowed in until we finished! This reminds me of that same day! Thank you Nonna Gina! We have subscribed and will look forward to more videos! God bless from Alexandria Virginia. 🙏🏻😘❤️
Thank you so much beautiful Grandma Gina you’re the best . And you’re right we always should thank God for everything . I thank God for you . God bless and keep you . Love you 😍😍♥️♥️
17:31 Timeless, priceless sharing, like re-experiencing my youth at Grandmi's house, once the singing starts you're transported back in time before you even know it, reliving with her that same atmosphere of Joy. What a gift to be able to share it & how fortunate for those of us able to receive it! Thanks to Gina & her lineage for allowing me to time travel today! 👍
Thank you Gina, you remind me of my beautiful Italian Grandma and all her delicious meals. I especially love watching you make your spaghetti and lasagna noodles in the machine. My Gram Edith and my Pop would work in the kitchen together on the “homemades” as they would call them.I wish I could help you in your kitchen like I helped my grandparents. Watching you is such a great JOY and sometimes I cry when you sing. You are PERFECT and I know that your food is the best in the world and I see that it is made with great care and much love.
She reminds me of my beautiful mother.She used to cook a lot of Italian meals,and she also would sing. Gina you make my day,everyday. Love you, keep up the good cooking.
Gina thank you.. my mother’s family’s from Italy and I missed getting most of these recipes.. it’s made me connect with my roots. My heart is so happy when I cook these recipes. I can’t thank you enough. God Bless you Gina and family.
I love this sweet Italian grandmother. When she sings , it takes me back to my childhood in Endicott, New York where there were so many Italian grandmas, we all became Italian.
I was waiting for her to sing... A Campangnola One of my favorites! I am making this tomorrow for a party! Gina is a gift to the world. I miss my Nonna. Thank you for sharing her with us. ❤
I absolutely love you Gina ! You are my favorite ! I love your singing. You are such a beautiful person ! God Bless You ! From The Pasquariello Family !
How could anyone ever give this video a thumbs down? This is thumbs up all the way, for the delicious recipes, and for the love Gina puts into her dishes.
Grandma Gina, I cooked with you tonight!! I made this dish tonight with you and followed it just like you do. I also danced while you sang! It made me very happy!! Thank you for your amazing recipes. It is in the oven 20 mins to go and I know it will come out perfect! God Bless you! Love you Grandma Gina!!
Grandma Gina is amazing!! This dish is delizioso, we love it!! and she sang a lovely song again while cooking. I thought it was so sweet that she talked of her father. May he rest in peace, Amen. I love this wonderful Nonna.
you can literally smell what she's preparing.......her recipes are simple and awesome ,after listening to her singing i had to learn italian.bless her....
Thank you for bringing such joy and happiness to the world! I feel like I’m watching my husband’s grandmother, they say she used to sing every time she was in the kitchen. Now I can bring a little of those childhood memories back to my husband by making your recipes.❤️
I made this recipe yesterday and it was fulfilling and delish. My husband loved it. His mother was from Sicily. I husband loves sauce. I didn’t use fresh tomatoes but canned and it still turned out good. I used fresh garlic because I love fresh garlic. I’m so happy to try new dishes and happy that I found your cooking channel. God bless America 🇺🇸, and god bless you and your family. ❤️
This is my new fav cooking show, I love this woman is love to eat 3 meals a day with her. Love the singing and everything. Your grandkids are so lucky to have you.

NOW... THIS is REAL ITALIAN cooking. You won’t find this at the Olive Garden! THis is exactly how my mother cooked, and I am doing the same! Healthy eating!!!👍❤️❤️😀
I just love this lady! I have watched her repeatedly to brush up when I want to make anything. All her videos are wonderful, esp when she sings! So reminds me of my family!
MY HUSBAND IS 100 % ITALIAN AND I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU BECAUSE OF YOU I HAVE LEARN SO MANY GREAT NEW DISHES AND HE ALWAYS SAYS I FEEL LIKE IM BACK HOME , MY DREAM IS TO VISIT ITALY ON DAY AND I HAVE BEEN SAVING TO SUPPRISE HIM FOR HIS BIRTHDAY TO TAKE HIM BACK HOME ,AMORE' TO ALL YOUR DISHES I HAVE TO SAY , GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
I think she is wonderful! Her personality, faith and cooking skills have seemed into my heart. My background is similar, having come from Italy in 1956. So, the memories and nostalgia bring me back to my roots. I just live Nonna Gina!
Hi Gina! I've been watching all your videos while quarantined. I grew up with a nonna a lot aunts and uncles. Your videos bring back so many memories. I can smell your dishes through the computer. Keep singing Gina . . . e molto bella!
Grandma is so sweet and her singing Oh I love it.Although I don't understand the meanings but she also explaines what she's singing in her beautiful accent. I'm learning Italian dishes from her which are my favourite. 😋Lots of love from Pakistan and God bless! 😍🤗😚😚
I made this and it was absolutely wonderful. My husband liked it so much that I made it twice in one week. I love you’re video’s. They give me so much comfort and joy. And, I tell you I’m so relaxed after watching that I sleep like a baby as I mentally prepare what recipe of yours I’ll be making the next day. Thank you Gina.
Thank you so very much, Gina. Your video did it’s magic! Transported me back to when I was a little girl watching my grandmother cook! Thank you for your kindness. ♥️♥️♥️♥️
She reminds me so much of my mother who has been gone for over 50 years. I hope Senora Gina knows how much joy and love she has brought into many lives of Italian ancestry!
Question, How many Grandmas does it take to teach thousands of people traditional Italian cooking? 1, her name is Grandma Gina. Thumbs up for another great lesson and a nice bonus song. You brighten up our days.
I just wanted to let you know that you have no idea what this video did for my soul today. I was SO fortunate to have my Italian Grandmother live with us when I grew up until she passed about the time I graduated High School. She taught me from a very young age how to cook all of the best Italian dishes and watching this beautiful, lovely woman, Gina, in this video brought back so many memories of time spent in the kitchen with my Grandmother.

Watching her never gets old. She reminds me of my mom and all my zias
When I'm not in a great mood, i watch Buon-a- Pettiti and my Gina instantly makes me happy. I wish we were neighbors so I could enjoy your company. You are truly a blessing to everyone.
I wish she was my mom so I could eat her food everyday
@@farq2688 Me too. I just love her. She's so full if life.
Seriously, how pathetic can 91 people's lives be to go out of their way and give this beautiful lady a thumbs down? Thumbs down for what may I ask, please you cowards let me know? Actually very sad because you know how miserable they must be! The 5,900 thumbs up are greatly deserved and the 91 thumbs down are not, not even 1 of them. God bless Grandma Gina she is beautiful, talented, and admired by many!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They’re probably from the people who died immediately afterward from not being able to eat it.
She IS beautiful! I love watching her cook! If those 91 idiots would actually listen to her stories about how she grew up with no oven, just a fireplace and how she and her family grew their own food, (which she still does AND makes her own sauce) maybe they would appreciate her more. 91 have had everything handed to them their entire lives and don’t appreciate anything.
They dont want the youtube suggestion on theyre feed, the algorithm will design youre video feed based on what you thumbs up or down
I love whenever she adds black pepper she always says "just a little, little bit, just a little " 😆😍😍
I love when Gina sings🇮🇹❤️
Gina should tell more stories about about her past in Italy, perhaps a Q & A .
I’m sure everyone would love to hear her story 💕
Do we not all-of whatever ethnic group-see our grandmothers in this beautiful little lady?!
Ok. I am now seriously addicted. I spend part of every day watching. I think I’m a pretty good cook, but I’m learning so much and Gina makes my heart happy. 💕💕💕💕
Gina, I have to thank you from the bottom of my heart!!
God Bless you and your boys. I send you my love and will keep you in my prayers.
just love watching you you are what everyone wants for a granma. my only thought is it aways looks like alot of salt you use
Dear Gina, my husband and I made the sausage and peppers just the way you said how too. And he's said to tell you thank you it was delicious! and he's so glad I found you on UA-cam. Jesus our LORD bless you and your family amen. we love you , thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes with us.
Please keep singing, you are soooooooo my grandmother, she always had a song in her heart ❤
Does anybody else find her vids therapeutic?
yrv980 hunger provoking! This lady is making me fat 😂
👍🍷🍷
Yes, she reminds me so much of my grandma. It’s so much fun to listen to her!
I agree...love her accent....she's so calm. And she has the grace of God
Very therapeutic, especially in these difficult times!😊💕
How wonderful that so many of us have chosen to abandon the anger and despair of news vendors, and have gathered around this absolutely captivating lady, who holds us spellbound with her pure magic!
Yes, absolutely. 😍👏👏👏
Made this once for a large crowd of my wife's Italian family and they went crazy for it! Watched the video again tonight and my mouth is literally watering. It's so good. She is amazing and the dish is so good. Try it, I promise you you will love it.
You may watch all the so called world famous chefs but nobody but NOBODY can make food like an Italian nonna. Just love her.
She is a Treasure.. God love you sweet Gina and your family for capturing these precious Italian cooking lessons. She is a tribute to all of our dear mothers, aunts, and grandmothers for carrying on their tradition of love and sharing.
There's two kind of people; Italians, and those who wish they were.......LOL
God bless her. When she was singing, it made me cry. I never had the blessing of knowing a grandmother's love when growing up. Then she started waving those big knives around in the air as she spoke in Italian, and I had to laugh out loud. Precious!😘

No no ijohn
I am in love. Not only does the recipe look delicious, but Mamma Gina warms my heart with her passion and her singing. Thank you!
My favorite part of her videos... is when she sings... It just makes my day... I love it...!!!

You can tell Grandma Gina loves what she does. If only everyone could have someone like her in their life.

Where in Canada ?
J May southwestern Ontario🙂
I’m in Ottawa I love love ❤️ to cook but sadly no one to cook for :(
Thanks Grandma!!! I could smell it from here. Keep singing the ol' country tunes. What a blessing to have you on youtube.
When in high school one of my good friends was Italian and remains a dear friend. His mother was so generous whenever I visited their home. I never left hungry. She is still alive and sounds so much like you and shares that passion for cooking. Thank you so much for sharing your culture and passion, it really brought tears to my eyes.
Wow! Not only she knows how to cook, but, she explains beautifully. Thanks for sharing, Ms. Gina. Ciao.
I don't think I've ever seen so much care and love put into cooking. It's an absolute pleasure being able to watch Gina's magic. Thank you!
I grew up in an Italian section of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and one of my best friends growing up was a kid named Victor, but his mother called him Vito. To this day I have no idea what her real name was because we always called her "Nona" and she didn't speak a lick of English. For years, every time I went over to Victor's house, his mother, who for whatever reason, called me "Steele" would immediately rise up when she saw me walk in the door and she would go to her refrigerator and just empty so much of what was in there onto the table and she would begin to cook for me. I can also honestly say that she made the absolute best spaghetti and meatballs that I have ever had in my entire life, even better than my own mothers, who was full-blooded Italian herself and an excellent cook in her own right. I had no idea how to cook back then but as an adult I have taught myself all that I can on how to cook and of course, I watch videos like this to learn even more. I have tried to duplicate what Victor's mother did but just have not been able to do it. I have managed to come up with some really great batches of sauce and meatballs but not like hers. I was back home there a few years ago and managed to track Victor down and found that not only was his mother still alive, but he still lived at home with her, and Victor, at the time, was somewhere around 50 years old. I asked him to ask his mom if she could share her recipe with me, and he did ask her, but she indicated to him that she cannot remember how she did it and hadn't made it in years. Victor did tell me that she is suffering from Dementia and so I did believe her that she could not remember, but I was sad because after so many years of trying I thought I would finally learn her secret, but it appears that it will go to her grave with her. I am saying all of this to say that this woman reminds me so much of "Nona" and I am looking forward to trying some of her recipes, as I have only discovered her and her channel just today.
Stan Nelson such a beautiful story !
Stan Nelson sounds like a trip to Italy is in order for you once this Covid19 dies down ...
@@michaelremillard4215 Man I would love that. I would love before I die to figure out what that woman did. But I would have to say that even the pursuit is half the fun in and of itself.
Welcome to Gina kitchen she's one wonderful cook but most of all she's just beutiful. Again welcome. From a pittsburghese.
A touchy story. I respect your feelings indeed! 🤗
O My Bella Gina!!!! The wonderful sausage, potatoes and peppers are to absolutely to die for! Together with your canned tomatoes makes everything perfect! Humble and kind, that's what you are. How all the peppers look like beautiful flowers in all their vibrant colors together. It is true, seems all the men love this dish; my father and brother, both Antonio, could have this every day. My mother would pack their lunches with this, they didn't care if it was cold! Tasty crusty bread made a great sub sandwich. Indeed a show-stopper at any party. Party goers say, "Who made the sausage and peppers"? I'd say, "Who else makes a beautiful meal like this? It's Gina!!!" Thank you, my friend, there is a special place in my heart for you right alongside Filomena, Almarinda and Angelina. God bless you now and always. Love, Maria
These videos of Gina are really a family treasure. You are preserving Gina's receipes forever and your family and future generations can learn these traditions. Gina needs to put all of these receipes in a book & sell it here. Its easier to do than you think. My nephew/age 25 wrote two paperback books and they sell on Amazon. The receipe book can be sold here. It would be a great gift for someone!
I cannot believe myself spending hours on my bed watching this lovely lady's cooking videos. I am fastinated by her simple way of cooking... a down to earth method of cooking of real home food. love it very much.
I love viewing Grandma"a videos. She cooks from the heart.
I LOVE little nona Gina!! Hands down my primary UA-cam consultant on authentic Italian cuisine! Ti amo nona!!! 🥰♥️♥️♥️
Gina ‘s cooking is a product of love in every way...for the food , her family and those viewing methods & tastes of a day gone by. The simplicity & Joy it brings is worthy of applause. Thank you, Gina for continuing to give all who watch that joy!
My husband and I watched this morning! Nonna Gina!
My husband is Italian. I learned how to cook sauce from his father in his kitchen long ago. I remember he shut all the doors and no one was allowed in until we finished!
This reminds me of that same day! Thank you Nonna Gina!
We have subscribed and will look forward to more videos!
God bless from Alexandria Virginia. 🙏🏻😘❤️
Thank you so much beautiful Grandma Gina you’re the best . And you’re right we always should thank God for everything . I thank God for you . God bless and keep you . Love you 😍😍♥️♥️
17:31 Timeless, priceless sharing, like re-experiencing my youth at Grandmi's house, once the singing starts you're transported back in time before you even know it, reliving with her that same atmosphere of Joy. What a gift to be able to share it & how fortunate for those of us able to receive it! Thanks to Gina & her lineage for allowing me to time travel today! 👍
Thank you Gina, you remind me of my beautiful Italian Grandma and all her delicious meals. I especially love watching you make your spaghetti and lasagna noodles in the machine. My Gram Edith and my Pop would work in the kitchen together on the “homemades” as they would call them.I wish I could help you in your kitchen like I helped my grandparents. Watching you is such a great JOY and sometimes I cry when you sing. You are PERFECT and I know that your food is the best in the world and I see that it is made with great care and much love.
She reminds me of my beautiful mother.She used to cook a lot of Italian meals,and she also would sing. Gina you make my day,everyday. Love you, keep up the good cooking.

I made this recipe yesterday and it was fulfilling and delish. My husband loved it. His mother was from Sicily. I husband loves sauce. I didn’t use fresh tomatoes but canned and it still turned out good. I used fresh garlic because I love fresh garlic. I’m so happy to try new dishes and happy that I found your cooking channel. God bless America 🇺🇸, and god bless you and your family. ❤️

I love Nonna Gina she has so much passion for her family to make such yummy meals.
You make me cry....in a good way. I loved my Grandmother. It is a classic dish and we have eaten it often .
Grandma is so sweet and her singing
Oh I love it.Although I don't understand the meanings but she also explaines what she's singing in her beautiful accent. I'm learning Italian dishes from her which are my favourite. 😋Lots of love from Pakistan and God bless! 😍🤗😚😚
Oh Gina! I love your faith and your cooking! God bless!
I made this and it was absolutely wonderful. My husband liked it so much that I made it twice in one week. I love you’re video’s. They give me so much comfort and joy. And, I tell you I’m so relaxed after watching that I sleep like a baby as I mentally prepare what recipe of yours I’ll be making the next day. Thank you Gina.
Good morning Mia Gina.....I was feeling sad today, so I decided to go to your kitchen. I knew your cooking would cheer me up!
Thank you so very much, Gina. Your video did it’s magic! Transported me back to when I was a little girl watching my grandmother cook! Thank you for your kindness. ♥️♥️♥️♥️
The Angels smile when Gina sings....Me Too..!!!!!
You are amazing Nona Gina, we love your cooking, your religious singing and your recipes. From one Italian Nona to another
It's such a pleasure to watch these videos. Gina is fabulous.
She reminds me so much of my mother who has been gone for over 50 years. I hope Senora Gina knows how much joy and love she has brought into many lives of Italian ancestry!
