I often skip sponsorships but you speak with such earnestness that it’s a joy to hear you no matter what you’re sharing. I’m learning german and spanish but want to learn italian one day too. thank you for this recipe!!!
My Great Grandmother on my mother's side was from Potenza, she made this all the time, but on Christmas Eve she added Anchovies to the sauce. We loved it and have passed the tradition down through the generations.
Pasta Aglio ed Olio is sometimes enriched with anchovies which is a way of adding a delicious savory taste without adding additional salt. The anchovies add a more complex flavor.
I’ve been making this since I was a kid in Brooklyn. If I woke up after my family was sleeping, I would tiptoe downstairs and make spaghetti aglio e olio. Sometimes I would hear my dad’s footsteps and he would join me.
I'm a single mom and cash was tight when the kids were all home. I made many simple home-made recipes that were cheap and yummy and one day did something like this because all I had to work with was garlic and spaghetti, but we did have olive oil around. It's still a family favorite : ) I had no idea it had such roots! I'm not Italian (Canadian with Eastern European roots), but have been loving this channel and Italian ingredients for years ♥ Thank you for the wonderful lesson! 🍝
The best dish ever made for me! My grandmother made it all the time. I make it myself but never tastes quite as good. Wonderful memories! Grazie Mille!
My grandmother, Amelia (God rest her soul), was an excellent Italian chef (like you). Every time I see your wonderful recipes, it takes me back to the smells of her cooking wafting in the air. My grandma was from Naples, and always had food ready (for anyone) who came to visit. Although she passed in 1987, I still miss her terribly. I even got my father’s permission to take my grandmothers maiden name-so I can feel close with her. Thank you for your videos and your wonderful recipes. When I see you and Howard enjoying the food you so skillfully prepared, it gives me comfort and memories.
Wow simple easy foods are the best .Love your easy to follow videos , the clothes , the nail polish and jewellery too !! I am vegetarian Love from Croatia .
Ms. Giovanna! To begin with, I love your name. Your vid popped up with your tutorial of Malfatti. I'm a cheeseless American Mexican/AmeriMex, lol. I love pasta, my fav is Fettuccine, Linguine & Bow Tie. Your dish with just garlic & O.O is also one of my fav. Regarding language, I'm Bilingual, Español & English. I would love to learn Portuguese. It reminds me of Italian, French & Spanish blended in one beautiful spoken Sonnet, lol. Someday, I hope to try "Babel". Gracias again for this video. Paz be with us all 🙏. "Isa"
I just discovered your channel last night and then spent a few hours catching up on all your videos. I love the freshness of your ingredients and simplicity of your recipes. I could sense the clean taste and deliciousness of your dishes. I look forward to new videos. Now a big fan from Canada.
I learn so much from you and your videos. Shockingly, it's basic stuff that I learned incorrectly years ago. Would you please consider teaching cacio e pepe?
Sounds good to me! Garlic is such a basic, delicious and satisfying flavor. I don't understand the people who take garlic pills instead of enjoying the real McCoy in their food!
Hello , my dear Giovanna . I love spaghetti aglio e olio . is simple to make and exquisite. Sending you lots of love from Utah . Grazie di Cuore 💕🌷🌞🌟✨️🥰😋
My Momma made this on fasting Fridays and holidays. Her sauce was more to a soup, she made with pasta water. On Christmas Eve, she added acciughe to it for the Feast of Seven Fishes. It very flavorful and light for a pasta dish. The usual tomato or cream sauces are good but sometimes you just want a dish of simple pasta. Satisfying! Grazie!
This is the first thing I ever learned how to cook. My father’s family was from Naples, and apparently I made aglio e olio (aiul in the Napoletano dialect) very well. Fond memories of feeding my parents with this. So simple, so perfect. And fond memories of studying Italian at Bronx Science with Mrs Errante! And art classes with Mrs LaMarca.
Ciao, Peter - what a pleasure to hear from you! I learned the beautiful and very expressive Neapolitan dialect from listening to the songs of Roberto Murolo,. Mrs. Anna Errante was a native speaker of Italian rom Naples, and I still miss her friendship and joyous laughter; and, hearing from one of my dear former student, always makes my day!
I’ve made this for years as did my family but I go a step further and add anchovies, my fav! And sometimes pancetta! So delicious, so filling, either way.
If you want to gild the lily, take some bread crumbs, drizzle them with olive oil, and toast them over the stove while mixing constantly until they become golden and fragrant. Then top your pasta with them!
I just love you two and your granddaughter who is the videographer! I make this all the time! Anytime is right! I like a little fresh grated Parmesan on mine! I was told by Irene Mancini who works for the Italian Citizenship Agency, I'm eligible for my dual citizenship through my Great grandfather Bernardo Cinquemani who was born in Sclafani, Sicily! I have a zoom call with her on Sept 16th for more info! I've been trying to learn Italian on UA-cam! Babbel might be a good choice for me to look into for my education on the language! Thank you Giovanna! ❤
Dear Annette, it's heart warming that you are getting Italian Citizenship and that you wish to improve your Italian skills by studying our beautiful language. You honor your own ancestors and also the Italians in America! Brava!
Just made this delicious easy dish with homemade fetuccini yesterday! I do add a pinch of oregano, fresh cilantro, and white white to the sauce. I find that Asiago cheese compliments this well. So glad to hear from you again Giovanna!
So simple and so delicious! Thank you for this super tasty recipe! A little idea for a video maybe?? How did you and your husband Howard meet? What is your favorite Italian meal that you enjoy together? ❤
Howard and I met at the end of March in 1963 at the Casa Italiana of Columbia University, and we marveled at the fact that we both had planned a trip to Italy for that summer. We started dating, and we got married on July 7th, the day before we flew to Italy on the same plane! That was 61 years ago! It's too hard to pick a specific meal, I think that we both like what we are enjoying at the moment!
The one that you personally like!! Go to a store where you can taste it on a piece of bread, but do make sure that it's Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil!
it's funny how different chiefs say different things for the most basic principles; I've often heard to never 'brown' the garlic as it becomes bitter and to only use it to season the oil and then remove it entirely (it's never supposed to be eaten in the finished dish). I've only 30 minutes ago finished a shrimp pasta (oil, garlic, shrimp, a little peperoncino and some parsley) where I smashed the garlic cloves and let them simmer on low heat in in the olive oil before removing them (and then adding the rest of the ingrediences in due time) regarding the amount of water used, I'm 100% in agreement; why use too much water, when it's the starch, and the creaminess, you're after. use the least amount possible I say!
I've never seen a reason to remove the garlic from a dish after flavoring the oil; if it was adeded whole I would mash it into the sauce. Some recipes call for 1/2 an onion to flavor the disk and then remove it which is wasteful and plain silly.
My Aunt and Uncle had a house on the bluffs at Fort Lee. I tried everything to buy that house but they had a shyster for the executor and and he took a big kick back to sell it to a rich yuppie couple. Bergan County said prove it.
Ha, the story about the test surprised me. I also like to order aglio e olio in any new Italian restaurant to decide if the restaurant is good or not. I have a dish for many types of restaurants to test them. So glad to know other people do this too.😂

What a wonderful recipe--AND YOUR NAILS ARE FIRE!
My grandmother only used a cutting board for meat--fruit and veg were always cut in hand.
I often skip sponsorships but you speak with such earnestness that it’s a joy to hear you no matter what you’re sharing. I’m learning german and spanish but want to learn italian one day too. thank you for this recipe!!!
Thank you so much my Friend! I hope that Babel will make learning Italian possible!
My Great Grandmother on my mother's side was from Potenza, she made this all the time, but on Christmas Eve she added Anchovies to the sauce. We loved it and have passed the tradition down through the generations.
Yes same here! I still make it every Christmas Eve!
Pasta Aglio ed Olio is sometimes enriched with anchovies which is a way of adding a delicious savory taste without adding additional salt. The anchovies add a more complex flavor.
I’ve been making this since I was a kid in Brooklyn. If I woke up after my family was sleeping, I would tiptoe downstairs and make spaghetti aglio e olio. Sometimes I would hear my dad’s footsteps and he would join me.
What a wonderful memory of love and sharing!

Isn;'
Isn't it remarkable that such simplicity produces such deliciousness!
Buongiornio amica! Always a pleasure to see you in good health and spirits. Last night at midnight... I heated up pizza and adding garlic on it ☺️
Sounds good to me! Garlic is such a basic, delicious and satisfying flavor. I don't understand the people who take garlic pills instead of enjoying the real McCoy in their food!
My Italian father-in-law taught me to serve pasta at night to aid sleep.❤❤❤
Yes indeed; old wisdom! It can't do any harm and it might do some good!
Hello , my dear Giovanna .

Sending you lots of love

Grazie di Cuore 💕🌷🌞🌟✨️🥰😋
Thank you so much, Dolores, and best regards from New Jersey to Utah!
One of my family’s favorite quick meals! It’s comfort food.

Dear Rev. Anthony, thank you for sharing your own version of Aglio ed Olio! Wonderful to hear from you! Stay well, and be of good cheer!
Thank you for the pointer on using less water!
I think that most recipes exaggerate the amount of water needed!
Such a great masterclass.. this will help improve my aglio e olio skills. This dish is one of my absolute favorites! Mille grazie
Certamente, it's my favorite as well, Grazie a te, Michael!
I have missed you! Love you Giovanna ♥️
Thank you so much, Amy!
My dad and I have pasta e olio for lunch and play scopa every Sunday, it's a simple pleasure!
It's you own beautiful ritual; may you continue to enjoy it in good health!
May I please request a show with you giving the difference in Italian cheese. I know it would beneficial to me when cooking your meals.❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you for the advice! We appreciate all comments.
Yummy
Yes indeed! Thank you.

This dish was featured in the movie Chef. It added parsley which I can say is good also.
This is a dish that can be personalized with the addition of pasley, anchovies, toasted bread crumbs etc. and still be delicious!
You are wonderful and so is your husband! Passa una buonagiornata!
Grazie Tanto da noi due!
Come for Giovanna, stay for Howard

What olive oil brand do you recommend?
Rather than a brand, I recommend First, Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
So insightful madam. Can you please consider posting some vegetarian recipes which do not contain cheese using animal rennet.
Our Cuisine is rich in vegetarian dishes; just leave out the cheese!
Im making some now😋😋😋Do you sell aprons? I like one like yours de Sicilia.
No, we don't sell aprons. I bought this one in Siciiy, and many are special gifts!
What is a good brand of olive oil
The one that you personally like!! Go to a store where you can taste it on a piece of bread, but do make sure that it's Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil!
I missed you. I hope you are well.
Thank you so much, we're well and very happy to be back!

@@GiovannaBelliaLaMarca Thanks!
But have to ask; do you mean 1/2 garlic (not onion)?
My Aunt and Uncle had a house on the bluffs at Fort Lee. I tried everything to buy that house but they had a shyster for the executor and and he took a big kick back to sell it to a rich yuppie couple. Bergan County said prove it.
Try again.....and I wish you good luck!
I was taught once the garlic turns brown it’s no good, start over.
The point to start over is if it burns. Golden brown enhances its flavor!
chicken liver gizzard intestines feet tasty for me also cow tripe intestines
Dimas, you're a person after my own heart! I like all of those parts; I bought tripe just today to prepare tomorrow!
Italian is the most overrated food in the world. I mean... it is fine and all, but people who hype it up are usually boring-eaters.
IMaybe not in the whole world! But, thank you for watching.
Ha, the story about the test surprised me. I also like to order aglio e olio in any new Italian restaurant to decide if the restaurant is good or not. I have a dish for many types of restaurants to test them. So glad to know other people do this too.😂
A basic dish like this one is a good example of simple deliciousness!
