Eva I thought we were making a dessert video today we are making a dessert video but it looks like we’re making a pasta video and we are making a pasta video today we are making sweet pasta in Italy we have a long tradition as you know of cooking pasta

But we don’t cook pasta just in a s way we cook pasts in a sweet way and this time we are uh going going to use a recipe that is an old recipe and it comes from uh this book this book was written by peline artusi and this is

Considered the first book of the Italian food Italian cooking I’m starting with making a sweet Pasto and for this sweet pesto I’m going to use walnuts powder sugar and bread crumb In the recipe peline Arty specifies that we need to use spini now spini in English means thinner spices thinner powder spices oh and because in that period in Italy the space used wear most cinnamon nutmeg and cloves I’m going to use a cinnamon nutmeg and Cloes when the pasta is all D we are going to transfer it from the pot to a Bowl pepper see p requires pepper I’m going to add a little bit of our pesta into the pasta mix it and the others I will use as a topping as Cheese this is new for me you’ve made some dessert pasta dishes but they were all like it’s a little bit of a stretch to call any of the ones I’ve had an actual pasta dish maybe it uses pasta or it fries pasta dough or something like that

This is a plate of pasta this is a plate of past and actually pusi writes in his book that when people heard heard about this pasta they are oh my God but then everyone loves it really he said that it smells amazing just the spices alone but

It’s very weird to have this smell coming from a plate of pasta because it was right that’s the problem it was right that’s extraordinary I know it’s too good it’s sweet enough that it could be a dessert but actually it’s also kind kind of savory enough with the olive oil and the

Pepper that like I could eat that for lunch like okay this specific is eaten as a first course because P you call it it is this was not meant to be a dessert no wow you calls it minra so is it was meant to be a first course which I

Suppose implies that there are other sweet pastas that are even more dessert like we have some other pasta dishes that they can be eaten or as first course or as a des well I definitely want you to show me one but first a quick word from today’s video sponsor so

Your first month a big thank you to betterhelp for sponsoring today’s [Applause] video the second recipe comes from Sicily and it’s similar to the first one because it uses a nuts this time we are going to use almonds and bread crumb [Applause] [Applause] this is honey and this is what is going to make our pasta sweet [Applause] honey glazed pasta coming to an Olive Garden near you sorry Garden how this is Every sweet p in Italy has a Some and finally we finished with some AR Zest I take back what I said about the other one because the smell of this one is really amazing it’s really orangey because there is the orange and these the things that you smell the most honey glazed spaghetti now I’ve seen it all no I have not seen it all I’ve have not

Seen it all no no this kind of pasta can be warm hot or also cold wouldn’t the honey like Harden and it become more like a the more like a cake interesting does it have a name in Sicily they call this in the village where this is from

They call this pasta Kum which means pasta with honey you guys are so creative with your food but then when it comes to names sometimes it’s just because we are tired when it comes to name it’s like all our creativity is to create something special but then with

The name is like okay Co like that who cares yeah already that’s starting to thicken although it’s not as hard as I would have expected not because by the way we used a little bit of pasta water yeah so the Honey’s thinned a bit yeah oh don’t listen to what she said even

Hot this absolutely works as a dessert see it’s like it’s sweet there is the H sweet wow the orange the honey the cinnamon the crunchy toasted almonds I was expecting a plate of sweet pasta to be a little weirder but it actually makes sense when you think about it it’s just flour and

Water lots of desserts are made with flour and water you can put gam or Nutella or whatever you want on a slice of bread is flour and water the traditional sweet past in Italy it’s a very long tradition like during the Renaissance during the midor age there wasn’t a separation between Savory and

Sweet they put sugar in everything always together when we started eating this plate I was like I’m going to make sure to leave like at least half of it to go cold so I can try that I I don’t know if I’m going to get to that point

Might have to make this again sometime with the moment have to get back to you on the results of that experiment is there a reason that all of these have used spaghetti like is is spaghetti the only pasta that you sweeten no we we have dishes with t with lasag and we

Have dishes also with sweet y the first step for this dish is to make the condiment the cheese and also a little bit of stuffing which will be the same so I melt a little bit of butter I had some brown sugar but actually you can use also normal sugar and I’m I’m

Going to add some breadcrumb and the ingredients that uh we can’t skip because it makes everything better some [Applause] cinnamon our noi this time are stuffed noi and we are going to stuffed with prunes prunes prunes yes prunes prun you can use also dry the apricot make sure to remove the beads from the prunes because otherwise you will be in trouble to make our do what we need boiled

Potatoes and some z0 flour this is the normal way in which usually I make but in this case I’m going to use also an egg [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] Now what I need to do is put some breadcrumb inside the plums prunes and then take a dis open a little bit place the prone here and then you close It Normally when the yui start to float they are done but in this case we need to cook for 2 minutes more from the moment in which they start to Float The smells keep getting better and better in here see does it smell amazing it’s like also just on a somewhat unrelated note um I tried some of just the breadcrumbs that AA fried in the butter just by itself kind of amazing it almost became like granola it became very very hard and

Crunchy kind of like glazed almost and uh just pointing out that it would be an amazing like cereal or something but here arper we have what in Italy we Call which means plums these are direct from Frei Vania Julia which means that in this episode we cover all of Italy yep we cover all of Italy okay I really want to see what they look like on the inside they look like stuffed want a po po you understand that something is

Extremely delicious when I feel here the flavor like the parmo when it’s a very good par down you feel here I feel here I know what you mean yes well these have an amazing tart taste Mommy so good probably the least sweet out of all the pasta dishes today

And yet it it still works brilliantly as a dessert because it has that kind of sour fruity taste to it this one’s a this is a masterpiece do it do it uh for breakfast lunch dinner it doesn’t matter as a dessert as a FR course but do it you going to spit this

One yes sure I’m not going to give you it completely done I at six stop we don’t have any more anyone else no but we have more potatoes we have more prunes and we have more eggs more bread breadcrumbs moreon so I’m not too worried we hope
