We love that more and more people are making fresh pasta at home, but unfortunately many of them are missing out by focusing on just ONE type: egg fresh pasta.
We love tagliatelle and pappardelle as much as the next person, but fresh semolina pasta is a must-try for all pasta lovers. In this video, we’ll explain what it is, why it’s different, how to make it, and why you should definitely give it a shot.

My personal preference is egg based pasta if homemade. My mother always made egg based pasta, rolled by hand with a broom handle. Still remember the giant circles of dough drying on a white sheet of my Nonna's bed. Big difference in taste between egg based and semolina. Don't think that egg noodles are inferior to semolina noodles. Just different. Also you just freeze stuffed noodles. Una Calabresa, who now lives in Canada where we grow the best wheat in the World 🌎

that's why families used to be so large! we needed many hands to make pasta 🙂
Thank you for showing how to make pasta eggless. I never liked eggs and now being vegan much less. I add a touch of olive oil to the water to replace the fat of the egg and it makes it so much better than without it.
Please! Go to Sardinia, and make videos about it. We will all "like" it very much.
😁 That was my dish you featured at the end…Thank you 🙏🏻 And if you guys are even in the Tampa FL area let me know! I'd be honoured to make it for you guys!!! I grew up eating broccoli & Pasta but had no idea there were so many variations. I loved the ceci beans in it, and it's going to be in regular rotation in this house. Calabrian food is awesome. My roots are in Napoli an uncle thru marriage from Sicily so my heart is in the South. Thanks again 🍷
I love your videos!! How about doing “A WEEK WITH PASTA GRAMMAR IN ARIZONA?”
Has Ava tried toasted ravioli? Kind of a tradition here in St Louis.
Yum! Thank you 🙂
We went on Amazon to order this semolina flour and after reading numerous reviews from different suppliers, we decided against it. Too many complaints about bugs, torn bags, damaged boxes, and some said they weren't allowed to return the product. Do you have a supplier you'd care to recommend? And, when is Eva going to do a video on recipes for stock fish, like the Cod from Norway? I've been waiting quite a while…
I would love you to make gluten free lentil pasta. I know it is a thing as I get a brand that comes from Italy. It’s expensive and I would like to make my own. It’s great for vegetarian meals as it adds protein to the diet.
You can definitely make spaghetti at home with a chitarra
Before I converted to a Carnivore diet, I used to make "water" pasta more than "egg" pasta as I could easily dry it as well if I had too much. Was delicious with olive oil and some coarse black pepper, fresh parsley and coarse ground Himalayan salt
Hello lads. I was wondering? Why don't you do an episode where you talk (and you Eva try to do) about Passatelli Romagnoli?
😋😋😋💖💖💖💓💓💓💓💓🥘🥘🥘🍲🍲😢😢😭😭💘💘💘💞💕💕💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💖💖💖💖💖💖
When you are making fresh pasta – egg or non egg based pasta, how do you know when it is cooked aldente? How do you know the tempo di cottura ?
LOL! I was hungry and didn't like how my dry semolina pasta turned out, because it seem to want to take an hour to cook. Well, being hungry and semolina was all I had on hand, decided to cook it fresh and have loved it ever since.
Is your hair real ?
Love you both. So funny and informative. Do you ever make pasta out of spinach? I'm diabetic, love pasta but I can't eat it very often.
What did she say about us northerners ????😮
Youtuber,,Carterina Romano’s kitchen,,is from Calabria,,you two should do a video,,
Hey Eva,
My oldest boy dated a girl who was vegetarian all through high school.
Found a recipe from 1996 on YouTube, I believe southern Italy.
…he said find the smallest most red tomatoes you can find. Made a pesto with Almonds olive oil basil.then also mashed in small tomatoes.and the cheese
I do this in a blender now during the summer in Alaska.
Can you please find the original type recipe?
We use whatever pasta.
It is a summer staple.
Would love to see your guys take on it and so I can write an actual recipe down for my kids and family.
Oh yes, their was garlic as well.
I remember the video was in Italy 1996
I'm like, "How the hell do you know about Lorighittas?!" ROFL, they are not so well known even among us Sardinians. Props for the research
So fantastic. So amazing your videos and that hair!!! Love it. I love this video the best of all the others I have seen you do. Old school pasta.
Make sure you have a bambino to teach them and carry on the pasta grammar name
Please make video on more Vegan Italian meals!!!
