    Hey Vincenzo! Great review! haha I'm glad to see that you enjoyed the video! Ricotta is pretty common in the US, but next time I will use fresh pasta as that was not good and I would like to make a ragu version as well! Can't wait to do videos together! :)

      But lasagna with ricotta is simply one of several versions of lasagna that we make in Italy. Every area has practically its own version, often every family, as is also the case with other Italian dishes. In my region in southern Italy, for example, there are also versions with tiny meatballs and chopped hard-boiled eggs.

I am 50+ now and have never really cooked, mostly most simple student dishes at first followed by some frozen ready dishes or visits in hospital kitchens later. When I by chance found Vincenzo's channel, I was fed up with the ready stuff und I tried to get authentic ingredients first and was surprised by the results trying some of his easier recipes. As a medic I knew about the healthy aspects of mediterran cuisine with "EVO" etc. Then I discovered James's channel as well. I learnt much about basic techniques from him. Now I have cooked most of Vincenzo's recipes regarding pasta and risottos enjoying the gorgeous tastes. I like paella as well very much but haven't dared to try to cook one so far. I will take a recipe from James's channel for that. I have learnt some "feeling" for the ingredients, seasoning, temperatures etc. in the past year and now need not be fixed on each letter of a recipe any more. Slowly but steadily I' am also beginning to try cakes/sweets and other dishes from Austria/Bohemia...

    The advice about fresh pasta sheets is really good. I had only had the regular dry stuff (I'm Canadian) until a good friend who is Italian told me to get the fresh stuff from the grocery store (it was kind of new here at the time, I live in a rural area so not as much selection at the time) I was SO surprised at the difference!! I do still keep the dry pasta and use it at times as it is cheaper and easier to keep, but regularly buy the fresh pasta as well!!! Although it's more expensive than the dry it isn't a huge difference with a small family (would be different if I had a large family to feed) so it's one thing I splurge on regularly.

    James did a far better job than Jamie Oliver. Unlike Jamie, I think James articulates the cooking better (in a lot of his videos) and treats the dishes with respect and not just making something overly complicated or absurd. Also, James doesn't use ridiculous words to describe food, like "gnarly."

    as a customer , a person with no cooking experience, going just by how it looks , that dish looks so amazing i'd probably don't want to eat it for a while and just look at it. i know every chef and every country has own different variations , but just a thought from customer to chef: i don't care so much about how close to the original you make your food, as long as it tastes good and leaves me with a smile after eating, i will feel my money went in the right pocket. go crazy with creativity and variations, i don't care, i just want to feel happy that i spent my hard earned money on very high quality food. and what i see in this video worth my money. i would 100% order this if i saw it on someone else's plate at a restaurant.

    Hi Vincenzo! nice video, James is really good, he cooks like an Italian.
    I was thinking: if we put the basil under the last layer of sauce isn't that even better? So it is even more protected from burning, I think.
    I have always thought that basil should never even be heated, it should be consumed exclusively raw and fresh, it is also true that neapolitans put it on pizza before baking it, so who knows who is right! at least we all agree that it shouldn't be burned 😂😊
