  • Penne al baffo might be the best and easiest pasta that most people in America haven't heard of. It consists of sauteed onion and ham in a creamy tomato sauce. Traditionally this dish often uses leftover cooked ham but I used deli ham cut into small pieces. I hope you enjoy this penne al baffo recipe!

    The most useful aspect of your channel sir, is how formulaic everything is. I have been adapting your recipes to fit with flavor profiles instead of the raw ingredients and it has helped a lot in letting me be creative in the kitchen and being excited / motivated to cook. Wonderful channel, best taste tester on the market. Make sure you keep him around for a while, unbiased and reasonable.

    Haha James is getting tougher with his reviews. I also think I'd prefer it with prosciutto or guanciale instead of deli ham. I like the name of the dish -- it reminds me of a Chinese soup called "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall",, which has exotic mmeats and seafood. It's so good that vegetarian monks will escape the temple to eat the soup.

    I actually used deli ham a lot when I need to use it up. I find that Boars Head is among the best. I use it in cabbage soups potato soups and casseroles. Adds great flavor. Can't wait to try this one.
    I love it when James says he doesn't really like something, but never stops eating it. Reminds me of my oldest son! Delightful!

    Made this last night for dinner. So easy! And delicious. I used more than 1/2 a pound of ham (probably closer to a whole pound). And, rather than deli ham, I used ham 'steaks' . Also, could not find passata at the store, so I used tomato puree and it turned out fine. My wife, youngest son, and I gave it Five Stars! Thanks for sharing the recipe for this one!

    Another fabulous recipe from the best cooking channel on UA-cam. It's something I had not only never cooked before but also a dish I had never even eaten. It was as easy as advertised, actually easier, and tasted better than I could have imagined. My only nit: It would have saved me a bit of agita if the video had made clear that passata and tomato puree are the same thing. I had the folks at my local supermarket looking all over the place before I hit the Google machine and figured it out myself. (I live in New Mexico where Italian cooking is not really a thing!) In any event, that small hiccup aside, this is an incredible recipe that you really should try!

No passata, I use a heap of cherry tomatoes and semi dried tomatoes and 1 to 2 chopped birds eye chili (it's pretty spicy). My 85 year old Sicilian father in-law is always pushing me to make it for him which is flattering considering I'm an Aussie! :) Keep the recipes coming as I love trying them and they remind me of my times in NY.

    Oh my favorite pepper grinder is made by OXO good grips radial pepper grinder and costs $15. Easy / quick to fill with clear tip out / fill spout, easy to spin handle that is ergonomic, and easy adjust on the bottom from fine to coarse. I have owned fancy pepper grinders, basic store grinders, and this is absolutely the best and easiest to use. Super fast, not fussy!
