Italian cuisine goes more to the "less is more !" motto. As opposed to how I see it as an Italian on some American cooking channels, where the trend is more to the motto... "just more is more !". Filling dishes with lots of ingredients and also abounding with certain ingredients, where I often see starting to fill a pan with garlic, just to give an example. Italian cuisine, on the other hand, few ingredients, but obviously of the highest quality !
@@aris1956 Yes, not to mention the misconception that everything Italian has garlic in it. A lot of Italian dishes do not use garlic. Less is often more because when the ingredients are great, and treated correctly they provide more in terms of a flavorful end result.
@@theguynextdoor4978 Yes, then regarding garlic, many Americans think that to start making an "Italian dish" you have to fill half a pan with garlic and as you say, they think we Italians put garlic everywhere ! But even where garlic is needed, we obviously put it in moderate doses and not a bunch of garlic inside a pan like they do.
I'm from Poland. I love your passion to make a meal. I never made Italian food in Italian way. Yes of course, there is Spaghetti Bolonese alla Polska heh, but few hours ago I took a risk and made Spaghetti alla Marinara from your recipe. I wasn't expecting anything fantastic, but you know what? It turned out fantastic. And my wife absolutely loves it (as do I). Thank you.
The rare occasion that a channel gives you a real Neapolitan recipe. My mother in law made bottles of ripe tomatoes with Basil every year. In a huge barrel. With fire under it in the garden. The whole fanily had sweet ripe tomato flavour for all the winter
Dear Vincenzo, I am a home cook, in love with food and flavours. Learning all kinds of dishes and cuisines. But there is no cuisine that I have learned to understand and master like Italian cuisine. And for that I thank you!
In all honesty, I think this is one of the best and most useful recipe’s I’ve ever come across. It is easy to prepare with minimal ingredients. I especially appreciated the trick of adding water to the oil and garlic to keep the garlic from burning. I am curious why the stem ends of the tomatoes are not removed. I know they will bring no harm to any pasta lover; but I think they are unsightly. It only adds a minute to the task. Thank you for this wonderful video. Patricia
Thank you Vincenzo! I cannot wait to make this Naples marinara and compare to grandma's sauce. My grandmother was from Naples, she made her sauce every Sunday! All the family came to grandma's house for Sunday meal. She had 12 kids, so all the aunts & uncles and cousins after Church walked to grandmas house! Those were the days! Update: Gave me goosebumps tasting this recipe! So basic and authentic tasting. Only would cut back a little on olive oil, a bit rich for my tummy.
@@VickyR.Minneti Sunday sauce is normally cooked with lots of cuts of meat in it to add richness to the sauce. This might be closer to your grandma's Sunday dish? If you are interested search up Neapolitan Ragu, Italia squisita has a great recipe for it!
I am your fan and started watching your channel when you have 100k subs. It's very rare for me to find an authentic dish cause when I search for pasta recipe , all i get is a mac and cheese recipe and all these fatty pasta recipes. Seriously people like you brought me to know more about Italian cuisine and recipes. Feeling very grateful for your recipes. Thank you so much.
This dish is the GOAT for a quick meal when you haven't been to the supermarket lately. Always have the ingredients on hand. Simple and classic and I prefer to Aglio e Olio as a quick whip up.
EXCELLENT- the innocence of this meal - is delightful - I make this meal frequently- only gets better each and every time - I have a wonderful herb garden that is priceless - especially during the winter months - thanks again -
I got a pasta extrusion machine for Christmas, and it makes pasta in 10-20 minutes with just fresh semolina flour and water, and you can add an egg as well for egg pasta. It's so nice to have fresh pasta ready this quickly, and then combine them with sauces inspired by you.
This man is amazing, so passionate! I love how he explains everything. Cooking channels now just fly by steps in their videos, which makes cooking intimidating. Love you lots, Vincenzo!
Dear Chef, Unlike some not all of your colleagues on UA-cam you devour the entire dish instead of taking 1 bite and saying it's good, Keep up the good work thank you
I haven't tried marinara pasta when I visited Naples last month, but the pizza topping was epic. For a long time I thought a pizza without cheese was bland and boring, but god was I wrong. Right now, it's my favorite pizza flavor.
The last thing I saw last night was this video and I determined to get good-quality spaghetti, tomatoes, and fresh herbs. As soon as I got home, I made my pasta and sauce. You were very right about how quickly it all comes together. I'm Hispanic and my grandmother always added onions to her sauce. I made it like you today and I noticed such a difference in the flavor of the tomatoes. Mama Mia! The tomatoes stepped forward and took a bow. It was simple and delicious.🤣😂Thank you and I think I am not turning a little snobby because of all you've taught me. I now, pay attention to every ingredient and the color of the pasta and the temperature at which it is dried, etc....
That looks so delicious and easy to make. In my family (Italian American) we always served pasta with so much sauce and cheese, but I noticed it was not ever served that way in Italy.
Made this today - unbelievably easy, simple and tasty! I could taste every simple ingredient, and they compliment each other perfectly. A perfect base for so many recipes! I just love it!
Vincenzo, "Your marinara sauce was amazing, I felt like I was in grandma's and your kitchen! The aroma, texture and flavors bursting! I enjoyed it with and without parmigiano reggiano cheese sprinkled on top. I didn't measure anything! Just added! Thank you Chef V!
I tried this recipe from your website. The way how u described every single step, just spot on! I recommend make your own peeled tomatoes from fresh ones, because usually cans in supermarkets contains only 60%. Simple and fast dish, my kids loved it!! I am glad that people like u still exist, I love your recipes, keep up the good work mate! Cheers from Czech Republic
Thank you for trying the recipe and your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Making your own peeled tomatoes is a great idea. Cheers from Italy to the Czech Republic! Grazie!
Vincenzo …I appreciate your videos. I’ve learned great deal from you. And this recipe I made for the second time tonight. I now buy great tomatoes and pasta. They are worth the price. (Always had great olive oil and I grow my own herbs). I’ve been making Linguini and Vongole for many decades (the wrong way). And learning to add water to the garlic and oil is terrific. I could go on but instead THANK You…hehe..PS…I know a secrets New York American Pasta sauce. I grew up there (now 77) and learned from some first and second generations why they added this one ingredient (not pure Italian but you’d like it)
Vincenzo, thanks for finally making this recipe! My family is Sicilian and we also make marinara, exactly as you made it, except we don't put any oregano. Thanks for pointing out all the wrong recipes on the internet that put onion, and loads of cheese, and cook it for an hour or more to hide the freshness of the simple ingredients.
There you go, at the 10:15 moment..."the simplicity of a beautiful dish that makes everyone happy." For so long I suffered from the flaw of trying too hard. I added everything to every sauce, thinking I was being grand. But it just never really tasted right. When I whittled it down and started cooking with just the right, simple flavors, and boom! This recipe and your comments illustrate this perfectly! I'm going to use this recipe as a nice variation. Oh, and you are SO RIGHT about using a good pasta. Folks watching: don't be ashamed if you can't afford expensive imported pasta, but do buy the best pasta you can. Look for a powdery appearance to the surface of the dried noodles; that's a decent, if not perfect, indication.
To me this is the deffinitive dish to test the quality of your tomatoes. I only ever make it during summer with my own garden tomatoes bc it beautifully showcases all the complexity of their flavor- from fruity sweetness, through sour all the way to meaty savory umami. I usually roast some of my tomatoes and garlic in the oven to get even more flavor out of them. I only use stuff I grow on my own for this and it's always PHENOMENAL!
Thanks for sharing your way of making Marinara! It does turn out better during Summer time when the tomatoes are sweet and fresh, but you can make it work even in Winter!
You always make amazing recipies, Vincenzo! I am definitely gonna try this at home. Also, you keep saying "avoid the garlic to burn", but what you're looking for is "prevent the garlic from burning" :)
Made it tonight. ❤ So delicious and the hubz loved it. I used Rao's fettuccine because they didn't have spaghetti. The package said bronze and 100% semolina. I used the same brand tomatoes. Had to use dried basil because there was no fresh. Fresh oregano. Accidentally burned the garlic once and started over, lol. I cut the breast from my leftover rotisserie chicken from last night and sliced it into little medallions. Then I put the pasta in the sauce and twisted it as I picked it up so it piled nice in the plate. Propped up a few chicken breast medallions on the side of the pasta and then sprinkled the shredded parmesan on the pasta and a little around the plate. Chef's kiss 💋
Made this last night for our tea and the tomato sauce with the flavours of the olive oil, tomatoes, and herbs was exceptional. I just couldn't stop having more. If you get the seasoning right-salt for the tomatoes then the dish is slightly sweet and flavourful and, with a good amount of cracked black pepper. We had some grilled Lamb loin chops with ours and it was Bellissimo 👌Thank you again for a fine recipe Vincenzo, I'm away now to clean my cooker from all the tomato splash's 🙂
That shirt is everything! You break the process down so well I want to start making my own pasta and sauce and you give me so much inspiration! I absolutely love Italian food. You are definitely one of my UA-cam gurus ❤ pace e amore!
This is probably my gold standard for tomato sauces from now on ... made this for me and a friend, dang ... so few ingredients, so much delicious. Thank you for sharingf
@ I’ve copied your carbonara, cacio e pepe and the agilo e olio vids. Loved them all. So hard to get guanciale where I am in Canada, had to settle for pancetta for the carbonara; was still great though.
OK semplice ma fantastico e gustoso. Un altro bel video di Vincenzo. Pasta semplice come questa, pesto fresco e aglio, olio e peperoncino sono saporiti e veloci da preparare. Vincenzo ben fatto
I just discovered your channel. Thank you so much for this recipe.We made it the other night and it is the best marinara sauce I've had My family loved it. .I will never buy sauce again. It will be made again when my oregano and basil are growing in my garden so I can use them fresh. I could only use dried herbs this time. I love how simple it was.
As always, what a splendid and heartfelt presentation. I especially loved the slow motion shot pouring the crushed tomatoes into the pan with accompanying elevator music! Fantastic!
Sometimes the simplest food is the best. I started making my own marinara sauce last year, and you're right, I haven't bought it from a bottle since. But next time I make it, I'll try your recipe!
Beautiful, absolutely beautiful! The same way my mom would make it! Always with fresh ingredients! And always with high-quality pasta! It was always my favorite dish when I was a child!
I prepared your dish as described, while in Houston, Texas, USA. I sourced Italian tomatoes and other core ingredients. The result was fantastic: a very good, simple, and vibrant dish where each ingredient was distinctly evident. The quality was surprisingly exceptional.
I had to eat this in Sicily to learn how to cook this in Canada, BTW, The best pasta dish I ever had with this sauce was in Sicily. I couldn't get over how delicious it was. So many years of making it wrong. I cant get fresh oregano. but I can get dried Sicilian oregano, canned tomatoes and pasta from Italy from the store I shop at. This video is almost how I make this sauce. Thank you sir.
I live in Canada (south central Ontario) and the oregano thrives here. It has escaped and taken over a chunk of my back yard. The bees love it. Weird, but at my previous home, it was the thyme that went mad and crowded out the weeds! Biggest surprise of the last two year is the ARUGULA that has popped up in my flower beds (came in a supply of garden soil I think!).
I cannot emphasize how much I respect your golden touch for these authentic Italian dishes. I am having so much fun learning from you! Just a quick question if you have time: I'm trying to understand the different tomato sauce types so that I know what to cook regularly for our spaghetti and penne dishes. When would I use a Marinara vs one of the other types of tomato sauces you have taught in previous videos? Not sure when to make a sofrito, use passata, etc Thanks from this learning Italian to another! 🇮🇹
I have San Marzano tomatoes growing in my back yard. The sauce from these fresh tomatoes is delicious beyond description. I will be using your recipe, and that will make that sauce even better.
I love how you showed the time lapse of the “making love with the sauce.” I am an inpatient American who wouldn’t probably believe that was enough sauce initially. Patience is hard when you are hungry. But, chef’s kiss! I will definitely take that into consideration!!!
Mmmm! Basil and oregano! Two of my favourite herbs! I have four favourites. The other two are thyme and rosemary. I especially like oregano and basil because they are perfect on their own but are also so good when you combine them.
Going to make it. Great video. Put together so well with the music and great instructions. I love that you tell us the why of what you do and how you do it.
I have to admit that marinara is my favorite sauce and spaghetti is what I like it served on. I haven’t bought bottled sauce in decades but I don’t use fresh oregano and now I am going to go buy some and make this beautiful sauce. I like the simple taste of the tomatoes, I also do not bother with cheese. I just want to taste the basic ingredients.
Honestly this is one I was hoping and dreaming you would do. Thank you. I'm hoping you will do some dishes with sausage links. And sausage links, bell pepper and onions.
You're welcome! 😊 Sausage, peppers, and onions make a classic and delicious combination. Stay tuned for some flavorful recipes featuring sausage links! Grazie mille for the suggestion! 🍴🇮🇹
Vincenzo, perhaps you should explain that marinara refers not to any seafood ingredients in this sauce but that it was popular amongst seafaring mariners who lived on the coast and it was their favourite sauce for pasta before setting sail.
Very similar to Podomoro (which uses cherry tomatoes) and Scarpariello (which added grated cheese at the end. I'm learning different Italian cuisine for the past few months and your channel is my go to. Simple & to the point. I made cacio E pepe few days ago & it was delicious!! Thanks a lot!!
Nice marinara sauce. With all respect to this great chef what if instead of two cans of peeled tomatoes to use only one and the other one to be replaced with 2-3 San Marzano fresh tomatoes chopped into tiny pieces and cooked mixed with the peeled ones! Saluto e complimenti.
This is the recipe I'm looking for to clear out my pantry. Thank you so much for giving me tips and guide on how to make this for my off-day lunch. I'm gonna try to learn how to cook more authentic Italian food since I've never tasted one in my life. Wish you all the best in life. 😊
Good one. For me though I personally cook the pasta first, little bit undercook like less 1 min based on the label. And I fry the 🧄 in high heat in a round bottom wok to reduce either EVOO, RPO or both mixed. And of course wok hei from my 20 years old wok. Then only I cook the 🍅, very little salt and pepper which can always add more later, cook until warm. After that add in the pasta, herbs, cheese, mix it for 1 min. Finally serve it, add salt and pepper to your preference.
Only if I cook for more than 5 mins which I don't. My method is high heat but very short cooking time. There's simply not enough time for tomatoes to turn acid. Even if it do just add more pasta water. The longest to cook is the pasta itself.
jep just tried it, wasn't expecting to much from it. I thought it would be the next variation on a tomatoes sauce with minimal difference. How wrong I was, didn't have fresh oregano but even with the dried version it was amazing. So easy to make but so tasty, thanks again for a great recipe.
Thank you for this video. For me, il momento più importante is when the pasta goes from pot into pan. No using a colander! And folding the pasta gently into the sauce, senza dubbio si!
Vincenzo. I loved your video about the difference in quality of pastas. I’ve been buying DelVerde instead of Barilla and you are 100% correct. What’s the best brands for tomatoes?
Very simple sauce, very basic and absolutely delicious! When my son asks me to do, I have to add some chopped dried tomatoes and some chopped dried chilis to give it a little more "spice". 🤔 Whatever, it's never the wrong time for this dish... 👏🙂👍
In the Netherlands you can buy many brands of pasta and i like to ask you are DeCecco and La Molisana good brands to buy? What’s the best of those 2? Love your channel, thank you so much for your content. Love it!
Is Marinara sauce the favorite in your house?
Yes? I'm honestly convinced we use the term "Marinara" for any tomato based red sauce. No idea what the main difference between the marinara and pizza sauces I find at Walmart other than jar size and label.
Yes use Mutti and love
I think it's really popular worldwide because a lot of the Italian emigration is from the South.
No, its bolognese made with lamb mince!
Fantastico!
Show us IBS friendly recipes. That means no garlic and onions, amongst others
This is a perfect example of what I love about traditional Italian food. The minimal amount of ingredients, focus on quality produce, and letting the natural flavours speak for themselves. Some western places are adding too many ingredients, and ends up masking the real flavour of the natural ingredients. You have taught me a lot about Pasta, and Vito Iacopelli is my pizza guy.

A case of a land of plenty versus a land of frugality.

Weird, but at my previous home, it was the thyme that went mad and crowded out the weeds! Biggest surprise of the last two year is the ARUGULA that has popped up in my flower beds (came in a supply of garden soil I think!).
Thank you Vincenzo. Your instructions are so easy to follow and make delicious Italian food!!
I cannot emphasize how much I respect your golden touch for these authentic Italian dishes. I am having so much fun learning from you! Just a quick question if you have time:
I'm trying to understand the different tomato sauce types so that I know what to cook regularly for our spaghetti and penne dishes. When would I use a Marinara vs one of the other types of tomato sauces you have taught in previous videos? Not sure when to make a sofrito, use passata, etc
Thanks from this learning Italian to another! 🇮🇹
Vincenzo, the #1 go-to for real Italian recipes.
Italian cooking always uses the KISS principle which allows the ingredients to shine - exquisite! 👏
I have San Marzano tomatoes growing in my back yard. The sauce from these fresh tomatoes is delicious beyond description. I will be using your recipe, and that will make that sauce even better.
Excellent. When I see your new videos I know what I'll eat tomorrow ! Thanks again !
Do let me know how it turns out. Happy cooking!
@@vincenzosplate , it was G R E A T. So simple, so much taste. I learn a lot from you, thanks!
I love how you showed the time lapse of the “making love with the sauce.” I am an inpatient American who wouldn’t probably believe that was enough sauce initially. Patience is hard when you are hungry. But, chef’s kiss! I will definitely take that into consideration!!!
I am glad you enjoyed the video 😊
You should make it 😋
I will be making this soon Vincenzo! Been making the spicy pasta sauce for ages now
Enjoy my friend 😊
Vincenzo, I love your channel. Next time please make the marinara with the seafood. Thanks so much ❤
Hey, I appreciate your words! Thank you a lot 🙏🏻
You can find my Seafood Pasta Marinara recipe on my website and YT channel 😍 you will love it!
Looks incredible Vincenzo, I have to try this IMMEDIATELY!
Mmmm! Basil and oregano! Two of my favourite herbs! I have four favourites. The other two are thyme and rosemary.
I especially like oregano and basil because they are perfect on their own but are also so good when you combine them.
10 years ago, I taught my mom how to make this dish, she has never looked back. Thank you. God Bless, stay safe and warm.
Going to make it. Great video. Put together so well with the music and great instructions. I love that you tell us the why of what you do and how you do it.
I am glad you liked the video!
Enjoy cooking 😋
I can't wait to make this with tomatoes and herbs from my garden! August is a long time from now!
I hear you! Homegrown tomatoes and herbs make marinara sauce taste even better. Save this recipe for that special day. Enjoy.
Fresh herbs and garlic are so good. And my favorite whole peeled tomatoes are San Marzano.
I like to hand crush them though.
Crushing them with hands is an excellent technique! 😊
Grazie Vincenzo.Great as usual
Thank you for your marinara sauce recipe just love love Italian food
Enjoy my friend 😋
Will have to try this. I made the other version with the blended soffrito and whole peeled tomatoes 🍅 and it was delicious 😋.
This one is the next!
Enjoy cooking 🧑🍳
Great job chef. This is super easy and simple. love and respect sir. 🙏🙏💜💜🇮🇹🇮🇹💜💜
I am glad to hear that my friend ❤️
Enjoy cooking 😋
Thank you for sharing, always love your beautiful food!
I am glad to hear that my friend! 😋
I have to admit that marinara is my favorite sauce and spaghetti is what I like it served on. I haven’t bought bottled sauce in decades but I don’t use fresh oregano and now I am going to go buy some and make this beautiful sauce. I like the simple taste of the tomatoes, I also do not bother with cheese. I just want to taste the basic ingredients.
Thanks for posting this. I made it today and it was absolutely fantastic - so much better and more affordable than ready-made sauce. 👍
Aw... I am happy to hear that my friend!❤️
Enjoy 😋
Thank you so much for this recipe Vincenzo. I can’t believe something so easy can be so good . I’ve made it twice now and absolutely love it ❤
You are welcome my friend!!
Enjoy 😋
It's so amazing this is one of my go to pasta dishes. And I'm so proud the way I do it is exactly how you do but only without basil.
Honestly this is one I was hoping and dreaming you would do. Thank you.
I'm hoping you will do some dishes with sausage links. And sausage links, bell pepper and onions.
You're welcome! 😊 Sausage, peppers, and onions make a classic and delicious combination. Stay tuned for some flavorful recipes featuring sausage links! Grazie mille for the suggestion! 🍴🇮🇹
Vincenzo, perhaps you should explain that marinara refers not to any seafood ingredients in this sauce but that it was popular amongst seafaring mariners who lived on the coast and it was their favourite sauce for pasta before setting sail.
Grazie Vincenzo, this comes aptly and in time, I was a long time ago when I had this , I will make it tomorrow evening again,
Very similar to Podomoro (which uses cherry tomatoes) and Scarpariello (which added grated cheese at the end. I'm learning different Italian cuisine for the past few months and your channel is my go to. Simple & to the point. I made cacio E pepe few days ago & it was delicious!! Thanks a lot!!
Just made it! Omg, so good!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I hope you'll continue to recreate my recipes too!
@@vincenzosplate i’ve done most of the vegetarian ones, all good :) lemon pasta is my favourite
Simplicity at its best. Of course I’m going to make it Vincenzo 🍝 Grazie!
Another triumph Vincenzo! Teaching a young guy like me to cook so well!
Aww.. That's great!
Which recipes have you tried?
It looks so easy to make and delicious to eat. I will make it tomorrow...Grazie❤
Enjoy my friend!
So, how it was?! 😋
I’ve been over-thinking marinara all this time! Okay now that I’ve learned how to to make it right I’m adding this to my weeknight pasta rotation.
What a beautiful, honest sauce. I'll definitely will give this a try.
Simple but delicious, just how I like my recipes! Happy cooking my friend 👨🍳🇮🇹
I cooked this tonight. wife and son enjoyed this great simple recipe
Aww... I am glad to hear that my friend! Enjoy 😋
I just made it ❤ enjoying a delicious and easy plate , didn't know with such short ingredients we can make an amazing sauce
I make it the same way, but I do not add oregano. To me, the oregano turns this sauce into more of a pizza sauce. The fresh basil is a must.
no oregano should be used
Don’t mean to be to American here, but does this also work as a nice marinara dipping sauce?
Simple and delicious! What's the difference with the pomodoro sauce? The oregano?
Such a great recipe… My daughters love it! I had to make it twice this week! Delicioso!
Surprisingly, oregano grows really well in a Scottish garden! Finally found Mutti tomatoes, so will use them for this. 🤗
3:24 he rolled his eyes up, it must be delicious scent 😂😂😂😂😂
Tried this recipe today! Came out delicious! Thanks Vincenzo!
Oh my goshhh this is making me feel so hungry! Absolute perfection!
Then you should make it 😋
Just a few ingredients and it looks delicious. I’ll definitely be making that one night this week
Nice marinara sauce. With all respect to this great chef what if instead of two cans of peeled tomatoes to use only one and the other one to be replaced with 2-3 San Marzano fresh tomatoes chopped into tiny pieces and cooked mixed with the peeled ones! Saluto e complimenti.
This is the recipe I'm looking for to clear out my pantry. Thank you so much for giving me tips and guide on how to make this for my off-day lunch. I'm gonna try to learn how to cook more authentic Italian food since I've never tasted one in my life. Wish you all the best in life. 😊
Most welcome 😊 I hope you enjoy Marinara sauce as much as I did! 👨🍳🍅
Here, where I live in México, there are times when I can't get tomatoes of good quality, can I use passata instead?
Of course! Using passata is a great alternative when you can't find good-quality tomatoes.
Bravo Vincenzo another great recipe & video and vegan friendly which is always appreciated.
Thank you my friend!!
I am glad to hear that you liked the recipe! You should make it 😊
Good one.
For me though I personally cook the pasta first, little bit undercook like less 1 min based on the label.
And I fry the 🧄 in high heat in a round bottom wok to reduce either EVOO, RPO or both mixed. And of course wok hei from my 20 years old wok.
Then only I cook the 🍅, very little salt and pepper which can always add more later, cook until warm. After that add in the pasta, herbs, cheese, mix it for 1 min.
Finally serve it, add salt and pepper to your preference.
So your tomatoes are going to be acid 🫣
Only if I cook for more than 5 mins which I don't. My method is high heat but very short cooking time. There's simply not enough time for tomatoes to turn acid. Even if it do just add more pasta water.
The longest to cook is the pasta itself.
Wow this is simplicity at it's best , bravo Vincenzo thank you 👌
You are welcome my friend! Enjoy ☺️ 😋
Simple and very comforting👍🏽
Yes! The simplicity is the best ❤️
jep just tried it, wasn't expecting to much from it. I thought it would be the next variation on a tomatoes sauce with minimal difference. How wrong I was, didn't have fresh oregano but even with the dried version it was amazing. So easy to make but so tasty, thanks again for a great recipe.
Thank you for this video. For me, il momento più importante is when the pasta goes from pot into pan. No using a colander! And folding the pasta gently into the sauce, senza dubbio si!
Thank you Thank you👏👏👏👏for the recipe☺️☺️Hello from NJ, USA🤗🤗🤗
Hi there my friend!
You are welcome ❤️ Enjoy ☺️
Vincenzo - it looks terrific! What type of brand of peeled tomatoes did you use? Muti brand?
I love it !!! Hugs from Poland !!!
Thank you so much!! Hugs from Australia 👨🍳😁
So simple but looks so delicious. I will cook this soon. Thank you for a lovely recipe.
You are welcome my friend!
Enjoy 😋
@@vincenzosplate I have made this recipe numerous times now. Thank you again.
Vincenzo. I loved your video about the difference in quality of pastas. I’ve been buying DelVerde instead of Barilla and you are 100% correct. What’s the best brands for tomatoes?
Very simple sauce, very basic and absolutely delicious!
When my son asks me to do, I have to add some chopped dried tomatoes and some chopped dried chilis to give it a little more "spice". 🤔
Whatever, it's never the wrong time for this dish... 👏🙂👍
Yes, the simplicity is the best 😋 😊
In the Netherlands you can buy many brands of pasta and i like to ask you are DeCecco and La Molisana good brands to buy? What’s the best of those 2? Love your channel, thank you so much for your content. Love it!
