A real Italian teaches you how to make fettucine alfredo

... and pasta fangul.

I'd fuck him and eat the fettucine.

What's not to like?

Fettucine alfredo is an authentic Italian delicacy, so you need a real Italian to teach you now to make it!

He's cute but marinating chicken in just oil and parsley is weird af. It looked good in the end though.

He forgot 1/4 cup of his semen.

He looks delicious!

[quote] He forgot 1/4 cup of his semen.

That's for dessert. Everybody knows that Italian cannolis cum after the meal.

Sorry, but he acts like an asshole.

I'd never watch that show. He's obnoxious.

Chicken? Box fettucine? Alguido, not Alfredo.

Mmmm. Hot.

hot!

I’d like to see him fall down a flight of stairs. Now that’s entertainment!

Fuck me, daddy!

Who ISN'T "a better cook than Guy Fieri"?

FYI, this kid is from TikTok and is barely a teenager.

I like a man who can cook.

You like a man ... PERIOD!

He could lose 10 pounds, no?

Drinking wine and all the innuendo? Not a child.

He resembles too much of an Italian American stereotype for me to be attracted.

r18 = Mary Kate

We all know that Alfredo sauce is Italian-American, and not Italian, right?

R18 = Karen Carpenter

His Twitter:

Wearing glasses:

he's 16........................

....

Why is he always saving some pasta water to add to the sauce?

you must be new here---and don't ask

R28, pasta water is delicious, and really adds flavor to your sauce. Try it!

WOW

He didn't use the [italic]good[/italic] butter.

The pasta he’s using is Barilla, the owner of Barilla is a homophobe, I boycott the brand.

Barilla owner recanted years ago, and donated to gay charities. I think he's off the hate list.

She's not as hot, but she knows there is no cream in a Fettuccine Alfredo. Use good cheese.

R28

Cacio e Pepe is one of the most simple yet when done right, best pasta dishes. Nothing more than really cooked pasta, tossed with some reserved water from cooking, cheese , and pepper.

Kitchen, guy, his attitude, etc... all right out of New Jersey!

Could be any place from Nutely, to Manalapan, or Marlboro.

Cute and funny. Is he really 16? Yikes, feel like a pedo admiring his fine bod.

[quote]Could be any place from Nutley, to Manalapan, or Marlboro.

He says he's from the south, so not Nutley. Or does he mean the south of Italy?

He said he just got his driver’s license.

Isn't Alfredo an Italian American invention, real Italians don't make this crap.

No way is he just 16? He looks at least college age

Don't you still have to be 17 to get your drivers license in NJ?

Does he make a good gabagoo?

R41

Sorry, but wrong; Fettuccine Alfredo was invented in Rome, Italy by Alfredo di Lelio.

That being said there are many versions of pasta al burro e parmigiano from all over Italy. Many are considered "poor man's" supper because they are made from simple ingredients most housewives or whoever would likely have around. FA is a bit more rich will give you that.

When you get down to it FA is just another version of cacio e pepe, which most any self respecting Italian man or woman can make to some degree. It's like the mac and cheese of Italy.

He is HAF. I just want to bend him over and... He can eat the pasta while I dig him out..

r45 Ok ok the inventor was Italian but the sauce is pretty much only popular in America.

R39

South NJ could be Marlboro, Manalapan, Matawan, Old Bridge and a few others; all have large Italian American populations.

He is American, not Italian.

P.S.

There is a reason "Jersey Shore" was set down there and supposed to be Italians; though only a handful were, and most of them were mutts.

Good number of arrivals in South Jersey came or are coming from Staten Island and or Brooklyn. This has been going on for a few decades now as first SI and now south Brooklyn are "changing".

He’s hot. He’s funny. By the time he’s 20 he’ll have an insane body. Sometimes God does give with both hands.

NJ allows first driver license at 16, but state uses a graduated system. That is at 16 there are more restrictions than 17-20.

Driving in much of NJ is not just a rite of passage, but just like much of LI and Westchester it is a necessity.

R48 and R50, those places are all in central New Jersey and part of the greater New York area. South Jersey is the area east and southeast of Philadelphia (Cherry Hill, for example), but this guy has a north Jersey accent. Native South Jerseyites have a similar accent to Philadelphia, which sounds very different.

Nobody eats Fettuccine Alfredo in Italy,it's an Italian American food

An American teen who shouldn't be such a THOT on Social Media, cooks some filling food.

[quote]Nobody eats Fettuccine Alfredo in Italy,it's an Italian American food

Yes they do, it just doesn't have cream in it. It's butter and cheese. It was invented there. Cream is totally an Italian American thing. I'v tried both, I like the creamy version more even if it's not authentic.

[quote]The pasta he’s using is Barilla, the owner of Barilla is a homophobe, I boycott the brand.

They appologizes. But that being said, they are not the best store bought box pasta. The cheapest yes but the most cardboard like one out there. If you cant or don't want to make your own, which I get, its a pain, switch to DeCecco if you want a better box version. It really does taste better and cooks more tender in my opinion. Graphics look almost the same as Barilla.

^^apologized^^

He strains his pasta! No no no!

[quote]Fuck me, daddy!

The guy is only 16! Are you some 12 year old twink or 60 year old pedo? I haven't heard anyone use that exact phrase generically like that since the 80's. If that's rolling off your tongue at every hot guy without the real "daddy" interest, then you really are living in the past Dear. By the way how is your antique collection and wall of dusty books doing?

he's gonna wind up like that canadian bodybuilder that was on here.

There is nothing wrong with straining pasta a bit R59. What is wrong is when people rinse it under running water like it's dirty laundry.

How else would you remove the starch?

Guy Fairy was never a cook. He’s a fat fuck that says: “MMMM!” as greasy diners dump their slop into cockroach infested kitchens.

Is that a joke R63?

You don't want to remove the starch, that is what helps thicken the sauce. That's why good Italian cooks actually scoop out a bit of the starchy pasta water to add later into the pan to finish the pasta in the sauce and thicken as it reduces.

Guy Fairy is about as much a real Italian as Meg Ryan's face lift.

He's a burgeoning MAGAt teenager posting racist videos and whining because they get backlash, so of course everyone here is in love.

He's being called "pasta duck" on Twitter which is funnier than anything in his video.

[quote] He's a better cook than Guy Fieri

My cat is a better cook than Guy Fieri.

Since we are on the subject of Guy Fieri, who the fuck is watching that stupid grocery game show they run on endless loops on that channel? I mean come on, they have dozens of Chef personalities to choose from. Are there really that many Fieri Fraus in America?

He has MAGA videos? Ai, ai, ai.

My usual go-to in all matters [italic]alla pasta[/italic], Marcella Hazan, gives a recipe for fettuccine Alfredo in her first cookbook, published in 1973. She uses cream. Quite a bit of cream. My secondary source, Guiliano Bugialli makes a similar dish, which he does not call "Alfredo," and cites as being "northern" rather than Roman. Both use fresh egg pasta, not the flat, long macaroni called "fettuccine" that comes in a box.

I always made my own pasta for Alfredo, and I used cream to make the sauce. I would reduce some cream with a peeled clove or two or four of garlic until the cream was half gone, then add the quickly cooked pasta and Parmigiano-Reggiano. And that was called "Alfredo."

I paid a lot of attention to Italian cooking over the years, and never heard of this pasta water trend until the 21st century, mostly on the TV shows. Does anyone remember the first time you heard of it?

^ in r70, remove the garlic before tossing the pasta in the sauce.

R70

Remember seeing Giuliano Bugialli, his recipies and whatever in Mom's issues of House Beautiful back in 1970's. He passed away just last May.

I said burgeoning MAGAt, not MAGA videos. He did some racist thing about blacks yesterday and got pissy when people asked about it, calling them "woke" or "snowflakes" or something.

Time for some laughs!

R72, thank you so much. I had corresponded with Giuliano Bugialli via email over the years, particularly when he was living in Philadelphia. Though Marcella was my first exposure to northern Italian cooking, I preferred Giuliano's way of making pasta, using a bit of EVOO. It made it so much easier to process.

Here's the video from that Times link, if someone is not a Times subscriber:

r73, link please?

JFC he says In one of the comments in one of the other videos that he’s 20. That seems right.

My question: how does a 20 year old get a body like that??

[quote]My question: how does a 20 year old get a body like that??

Your answer: he goes to the gym religiously, and doesn't eat fettucine Alfredo at every meal.

Any nudes floating around out there?

He looks like he’d have a disappointing sausage

[quote]I said burgeoning MAGAt, not MAGA videos.

What is a "MAGAt"?

R77

Are you serious? Honey he's *20* or *16* years old; either way the kid is in his athletic youthful prime.

Don't know how old you are and or how long ago you were in high school or a freshman in college, but nowadays there are plenty of young guys from sophomore or junior year on who have rocking bodies.

Besides gift of youth with raging hormones, many young guys are very athletic and high schools have stepped up their game in terms of gym equipment. That and or they have gym memberships. Would say for about a good decade or two many high school or college age young men have absorbed body image seen in magazines, on internet, etc... and thus work out just like "adults".

Fuck Barilla. Does he really think hatred goes away with a quick apology?

[quote] I want to see his recipe for spicy Italian sausage.

You aren't fooling anyone OP you want to see HIS spicy Italian sausage.

What hatred? What are these racist videos? I figured he was a red hat since Italians have a hard on for Trump.

What kid does in his (or rather parents) home is their business; but legal drinking age in NJ is 21; so what's up with that nice glass of wine he's having.

On another note; hate to bring some of those down creaming their jeans over this kid; but WYSIWYG. Typical NJ/NYC (Brooklyn, Staten Island or maybe Queens), Italian-American "Joe Guido". Unless putting on an act for his vids (which I doubt) just watch the Sopranos or similar to get an idea.

This ain't Pietro Boselli we're talking about here; and places mentioned are full of guys like him; right down to shaped eyebrows and muscular body.

If you don't want to roll your own, this comes closest. And it's De Cecco, not that nasty Barilla crap. r83 is right: Barilla doesn't get to walk that back.

Everything being said, am impressed young guy can throw down some nice grilled chicken and FA. Oh and that he wears a rocking apron. *LOL*

All these posts and no links to his IG? You can also listen to his rap music lol. It's not... horrible? I mean, no more horrible than every other young white male trying their hand at trap music.

You know De Cecco is the good stuff because it rarely goes on sale. When it does I stock up, even though deals aren't great as say when Ronzoni or Barilla go on sale.

How he got his body:

Spread eagle.

Sorry, bitches. Looks like he's taken.

You're just going to have to wait your turn.

r93 What does the extended-pinky-and-thumb hand signal mean?

Terrible eyebrows, sexy treasure trail, barely Italian, quite basic as a chef

[quote]Who ISN'T "a better cook than Guy Fieri"?

How about The Jazzy Vegetarian?

He is 20. I knew he couldn't be 16, his face doesn't look "that* young.

I think he might live in Charlotte, NC based on that gym picture. His accent isn’t that horrible when he speaks normally.

He’s like the straight Dylan Geick, in terms of looks and fame-whorishness.

I wonder why he deleted all of his TikToks. He had over a hundred thousand fans.

R97, they always say that they are 20, but that doesn't help you when you're sitting in jail.

He said he’s 13.

[quote]I think he might live in Charlotte, NC based on that gym picture.

He might. People here are interpreting him saying he is from the South as South Jersey, but I think he was just saying he actually lives in the South.

[quote]He said he’s 13.

Are you slow? The rumor started that he was 16 and people were saying they couldn't believe he was so young, so he made a joke about being 13, and clarified for those wondering that he was 20.

So many people from the Jersey area move down to North Carolina, wouldn't be surprised if that is where he grew up.

Folly Beach tee on in his IG

I am seeing news on Twitter that this guy has been cancelled already. Is that true?

That would make sense R104, the Charlotteans I know go to South Carolina’s beaches as they are quicker to get to than the North Carolina ones.

At the Charlotte Arts Council.

Yep, I think you nailed it Tony.

Looks like a testosteroney version of Finn Wolfhard at R107.

That face, particularly the nose, means he’s going to go from virile young man to Nonno overnight.

Yup. What R109 said. Exactly.

The 'Sell By' date on this one is not going to be lengthy.

What do I care about his sell by date? I’m not looking to marry the guy. I just wanna pound his ass a few times and move on.

Looks like this has some people upset with him r105.

That’s it? Surely there’s more.

That was bad, r112, but not as bad as his eyebrows. He needs a makeup sponsor BAD.

[Quote]He is American, not Italian.

Welcome to America where someone whose families have been in America for generations, has never been to the country and doesn't know the language... is still called "Italian". Real Italians laugh at this.

I muted that video of him pretending to be a black girl because his body's on point. Love his armpits actually... seems like he's got a decent amount of hair there.

The video of him doing black impressions shows that from the below the waist he is not black! Looks like a small bulge in those sweatpants.

Tutti a Tavola a Mangiáre !

He just put out an apology video.

He caved under pressure quick, since this is what he said about it yesterday in a now deleted tweet

This is precisely why we have BLACK pepper & WHITE pepper.

[quote]Sorry, but wrong; Fettuccine Alfredo was invented in Rome, Italy by Alfredo di Lelio

No, you are wrong.

There is no pasta dish called “ Fettuccine Alfredo” in Italy. You won’t find any such dish listed on an Italian menu. Go to a restaurant in Italy and ask for “Fettuccine Alfredo” . No one will know what you’re talking about.

Yes there is a restaurant in Rome that “invented” this concoction for American tourists.

Italians do eat pasta with cheese and butter.

[quote]Yes they do, it just doesn't have cream in it. It's butter and cheese. It was invented there.

LOL. Pasta with butter is not an “invention” anymore than bread and butter is.

R119, Damn, his natural speaking voice is sexy as hell! The Italian accent was a very good impersonation. He also seems like he's gay.

R123 being Italian myself, I can verify that he may be in fact gay. It seems to me that gay is possibly a genetic trait for Italian men since I have noticed there are a lot of gay Italian men around.

[quote]The Italian accent was a very good impersonation.

That was a New Jersey accent. Italian is...Italian.

There is a cute guy?! Let me tell you how he is secretly gay!

Never change DL.

So many Americans seriously seem clueless that Italy is a real country with real people r125. It does not mean American guidos who live in the northeast.

He's a bit too old for my taste. Ten years younger and he'd be perfect to play with.

R128 ten years younger and he'd be a fetus

Wow, yeah, his natural speaking voice is fucking sonorous. Way more deep and resonant than you'd think. The Jersey accent's rather grating, so hearing his natural voice makes him hotter. I'm a fan.

I wonder if he's ever been to Jersey.

I would guess his parents are from Jersey r131. He is really into that caricature and does it well, so it probably has some basis in his life.

[quote]Love his armpits actually... seems like he's got a decent amount of hair there.

[quote]Looks like a small bulge in those sweatpants.

His armpit hair probably weighs more than his penis.

R128 is a pedophile. Call the police ASAP.

I already had that poster on ignore.

I really. don't care who crafted the dish, or where it was concocted.

MORE, PLEASE !

Did Bryan forget to sign r128?

I read this as " A real Italian teaches you how to make fellatio a lot".

#PastaFanGurls

R93, He's being "taken" by his father??

IG poster, post all his sexy pics!

TIA!

I just watched that video. He's serving the chicken on top of the pasta? Uh...no, just no. That too is an American thing. Perfectly fine if that's what you want ....but it's not Italian.

Pasta is a first course. Chicken is a second course.

They have courses in family meals in Italy?

Knock yourself out, r141.

Aww shit, I'm Italian-American - well with more Mediterranean features like curly/wavy hair, hazel eyes, hairy body. You know. My Italian side comes from a little place in Southern Italy that's about midway between Rome and Naples. I'm not in any way shape or form guido at all. However I do have a northeast U.S. accent that many here in Georgia adore. It's weird.

Showing off the bod

Showing off the ass

Yum!

Fucked up the link at r147

R149 Such the baiter.

I love his kitchen. How can a man who talks like a moron have such a nice kitchen?

Well duh r150, he is desperately trying to attract followers. Did his cooking video need to be a wifebeater? Nope, but sex sells, showing off his body is half of his tiktoks.

He seems really stupid.

He has Rufus Sewell cheek bones.

If he is really only 16 or 20, then someone broke the law because he poured himself a glass of wine in the cooking video...

This concludes my observations.

I do appreciate that his teeth are not marshmallow white. Even though I’m American, blindingly white teeth look crazy to me.

You think that is his place r151? His parents have a nice kichen, he is only 20, he still lives with them. Or at least with his Mom, I haven't seen his father in any of the videos.

R147 Wow, he'd totally fuck his twin if he had one - geez.

gay incest

uncw hoodie...wilmington

his mom has an italian accent.

Out of all the North Carolina universities he goes to UNCW?

Yes, he is not that bright.

In another tictoc he waves a sausage in his face and says, "everyone likes italian sausage..."

one of the recipe ones.

tictoc crashed my computer! those damn chinese!

Just saw this video with his Dad, who apparently is an actual Italian.

r159 it wasn't us! It was all the horse porn you have under the secret folder on drive "E"!

Man, the angle on this video is...quite something.

he's hot as hell and funny. if he keeps it up...youtube? comedy?

i also think he is adhd.

From the pics at R148 he'd be a hit on Sean Cody. An option if ever needs some money.

An attractive family from Albania.

He looks about 21, does he really claim to be only 17?

If he's at an NC party school, graduation is in like 6 years or dubious.

R162, his name is "Quan Carlos"? (Initials QCP, so...?)

His real name is Gianluca Conte r168.

Italian Americans serve some sort of meat with side of pasta all the time; steak, chicken, pork chop, etc.....

This is why it keeps showing up in/on various media including film "Moonstruck".

Whole Primi and Secondi thing may or may not be followed religiously.

There is no such dish in Italy. Fettucine Alfredo is an Italian-American pasta dish, invented on our side of the pond.

Hence the dinner "Anthony's" mother lays out using Prince spaghetti.

None of those tiktok links work for me. WTF?

All hell is going to break loose when this kid finds he's being discussed (and lusted after) on DL. *LOL*

Oooh maybe he’ll show us his cock!

[quote]Italian Americans serve some sort of meat with side of pasta all the time; steak, chicken, pork chop, etc.....

That's why when they go to Italy they're sort of lost when it comes to dining. Pasta is never a side dish.

No "garlic bread". No "dipping oil". No "Italian dressing" Etc.

Why r174? He wants to be famous, he wants people talking about him, even if it is "creepy" gay men who just want to get into his pants.

Ugh and don’t get me started on American “Italians” who cal tomato sauce “gravy”

R83, Barilla have now hooked up with gay designer Giuliano Calza (a real Italian, not like this kid) of GCDS to create a GCDS x Barilla collection.

"The Dinner's Ready campaign, casted by CR’s own Evelien Joos, stars icon Sophia Loren playing host to a group of fashionable friends, including trans YouTube star Nikita Dragun and drag queen Violet Chachki, to present and dish out The New Barilla by GCDS. To celebrate its launch, CR exclusively premieres the campaign image with the full cast of characters at the table."

R183 So forced.

Apologies for the double posting!

Marinating is supposed to infuse flavor and or make certain cuts or types of meat more tender. Things one has read recently says it doesn't to much of either, but YMMV.

Boneless/skinless chicken breasts can come out dry and tasteless if not prepared properly. Much of the dryness comes from over cooking to point you're left with something a dog won't even touch.

This being said plenty of guys who lift and or are into fitness love themselves boneless/skinless chicken breasts or tenders. They make for an excellent source of lean protein, so not surprised QCP is shown whipping up some.

[quote] He is American, not Italian.

We’re not talking nationality, you dope. Italian is his ethnicity. Go finish your GED.

wasn't Barilla the one that was found to be anti gay?

His ethnicity is irrelevant r192 because it doesn't give him the ability to make "real" Italian food. He's not been raised in Italy and is unlikely to have much of an idea as to how to cook Italian food or even what it is. There might be some family or community traditions but he doesn't appear to have had much handed down to him, not to mention lack of access to Italian ingredients other than dried pasta.

[quote] A real GUIDO teaches you how to make fettucine alfredo

Fixed that for you!

R194

Just what exactly do you refer to as "real Italian" ingredients that are presumed to be unavailable in north east, south or whatever parts of USA?

You do realize from MA right down through Louisiana there have been long established Italian communities that have markets or whatever who sell more than Ronzoni pasta.

I can go to Arthur Avenue in Bronx and get pretty much anything needed for a "real" Italian meal, dish or whatever.

R173. I had to keep reloading some of the TikTok videos to get them to play. They’d just clock, otherwise.

Is that Italian as in from Italy, r196? Do you think that's where this guy gets his ingredients from?

Your link says the Italian community is shrinking and a lot of the "Italian" stuff seems to be from the US.

[quote] His ethnicity is irrelevant [R192] because it doesn't give him the ability to make "real" Italian food.

Wtf, his whole Jersey guido thing in the fettuccine video is an act? He really sounds like a wonder bread wop from the burbs.

Yes, he is from Charlotte NC and he doesn't talk that r202. Just playing a character.

His father is Italian though, I mean even the guy's his real name is very Italian. He has some cred there.

His real voice sounds like some prep-school Chad.

He is a "prep-school Chad" r204. He went to Charlotte Catholic, a preppy private school.

Yeah I thought he was like a real street Italian. This cocksucker is a good ol’ boy from North Crackalacky, probably rocking that goofy camouflage clothing and driving a pickup truck.

Ooh, he's one of those "rappers," as the youth of today call them.

Use your mind; Arthur avenue was an example; there are other places from Boston right on down through Philly and further south.

Also for your information, yes while many Italian American communities are shrinking, plenty do go back to whatever "old neighborhood" to shop.

Again Arthur avenue is case in point; Christmas, Easter, etc... people go back to do their shopping.

In Manhattan until recently we had Todaro Bros, but they've closed thanks to high cost of doing business in city.

Just as with German, French and other European goods you not only have shops catering, but now online such as Amazon and others either act is importers or market place for those who do.

R208 I lived in the Belmont neighborhood when I was going to grad school at Fordham, and can attest that all of the Italian food shops had lines out the door during the holidays—people would travel from upstate and the other boroughs and wait early in the morning to get ravioli, pastas, cheeses, you name it. One of the pasta shops around the corner from my apartment would get lines that spanned half the block. Those types of places do have dedicated patrons, and obviously for good reason.

[quote]including trans YouTube star Nikita Dragun and drag queen Violet Chachki

So Barilla still hates gay and lesbian people. Will continue to buy DeCecco.

His shoulders are too narrow, ew. He is on the juice, right? I doubt he's natty.

He’s hot, but the more I see of him, the more disturbed I am. Like very disturbed.

Hahah, why are you disturbed? Granted I haven't been trolling through his TikTok. I appreciate how shirtless he is in the videos that've been posted here though. The one where he goes on about how he's not flexing is hilarious because it's just an excuse for him to flex. He knows what we're into and he delivers, so I'm happy on that front.

I kind of can't stand to hear him talk. I mean, I love the sound of his voice, but don't care for what he has to say. So I'm thankful for the muscles.

[quote]If he is really only 16 or 20, then someone broke the law because he poured himself a glass of wine in the cooking video.

Most Italians are ok with drinking vino with dinner at very young age law or not. The legal drinking age in Italy, and most of Europe is 16 years. So you can imagine just like America, it starts long before that. With all that being said, they don't binge drink like young Americans and those in the UK. Of course there are always exceptions but since it's not a taboo to a glass of wine with dinner, they don't have the motivation of getting drunk of their ass like most Americans do before they are 21.

I think it was the incest, rape, beatings and casual racism that disturbed me the most.

Where?

What’s this dude’s name?

The pasta water thing is easy to explain. Most of us keep a good 1/2 cup or so on hand, BUT only use it if needed. The salt and thickening starch make the liquid perfect for making sure that the pasta dish turns out perfect. Sometimes you do not need it at all, but if your sauce is too thick and/or the pasta too dry - it is a blessing to have around. "Pasta water" is thicker and also seasoned (plain water is not). Pasta should be perfectly silky - whatever that takes is what makes the dish delicious.

R221 + 1

Exactly right.

I already found and posted his real name r217, look up at r169.

R208, is correct. My friend is Italian originally from the Bronx and he always goes back to Arthur Avenue to shop. Same with the Italian bakeries in Brooklyn neighborhoods which were previously mostly Italian.

This kids real voice definitely sounds preppy American. He did a good impersonation, but certain pronunciations like water did not sound right.

[quote] There might be some family or community traditions ...

R194 just described the entire country of Italy. The entire post is undermined by failing to make a distinction even as broad as Northern vs. Southern Italian cuisine. Given the exceedingly regional history of Italy and its culture and cuisine, there is no compelling reason not to include the variants one finds in the Italian communities of the US where the Italian traditions are passed on from parent to child, just as they are in Italy.

This idiot racist kid is not a good spokesman for anything but vulgarity. He is unexceptional in every way.

Don't cook with Italians in their kitchen. They use the olive oil as lube.

Can they get him to host the Golden Globes next year?

Only in a group home of a nation is this Yankee considered a "real Italian".

[quote]there is no compelling reason not to include the variants one finds in the Italian communities of the US where the Italian traditions are passed on from parent to child, just as they are in Italy.

Italian American cooking has little to do with Italian cuisine. Even among all of it's variations.

They are two separate things.

You canmake a reasonable facsimile of an Italian meal in the US if you're prepared to spend the money and time, but not on a daily basis.

Nonsense. You can make many great, simple Italian meals year-round with excellent ingredients readily available in California.

And our wine is just as good, if not better.

R228 -FFS it’s a comedy video; the kid is a preppy from South Carolina not an actual Jersey Guido; the title of the video is as much of a put-on as the rest of it. Jesus you people are humorless scolds. Also - yes urban ethnics in the northeast and midwest do quite often refer to themselves by their ethnicity, they are not inferring or implying they are actually citizens of their ancestral homelands - it’s just another stupid manifestation of human tribal instinct; not a request for UN Delegate designation.

He looks like a young John Saxon here.

[quote]Nonsense. You can make many great, simple Italian meals year-round with excellent ingredients readily available in California.

No you can't.

You can get close. It'll cost a fortune. And take time.

If you've spent time in Italy then you know what real buffalo mozzarella tastes like or genuine ricotta. Or products made with out bleached "enriched" flour with it's list of added chemicals. Fresh fish and shellfish is an important part of Italian cuisine... the ocean fish in the US is completely different. California olive oil is good...but it can't compare to local Italian. The US makes good artisanal cheese but nothing like the wide variety of cheeses in Italy. Try to find cheese made with raw unpasteurized milk. Or the salumi of Italy or sausage made with just pork without all those spices...even the wine...I can go on and on.

Yes you can import things, but that goes against the whole concept of Italian cooking.

I've spent 3 decades in Italy. Cooked in restaurants there.

i wanna sniff his pits

[quote]And our wine is just as good, if not better.

That's not the point.

Daily wine in Italy are humble inexpensive table wines that you get from a local winery. They pair perfectly with the local food.

He's not italian. He's a New Jersey Guido.

But his armpits are Italian.

He is neither r237. He is a North Carolinian.

Keep up people.

He's clearly a Lesbian.

Pits, then squeaky clean hole, then his sausage......

I hope he's not that "on" when he's not making videos. If he is then he would be insufferable to be around. Sort of a cross between Jim Carey & Robin Williams. But he's very pretty.

[quote] Even among all of it's variations.

Oh, dear!

R242 he isn't, that's typical for TikTok people.

R235 - Hear Hear! I second that motion. Pit sniffing is much more important to me than the authenticity of my mother's sauce; I'm sure it's nothing like spaghetti sauce in Rome - I have no problem with that.

His mother has an Italian accent. His dad speaks Italian. First generation?

Southern guido...Squido?

Can someone tell me how old this fine young specimen is, and where he's from?

R247 He's 16. Seek help.

He's 20 and attends UNC Wilmington.

Oh dear. If you somehow missed the point r247 was making, you guys are autistic.

[quote]You can make many great, simple Italian meals year-round with excellent ingredients readily available in California.

You can get close to it, California Olive oil is great! AND considering 90% of what gets shipped out of Italy is fake or cut with Canola oil it's smarter to buy domestic. California has a huge wine production not just north in Napa Valley but also in southern Calif in Santa Yenez valley. And its mostly small independent producers. 80% of the fresh produce that America consumes is grown in Calif so if you want fresh produces it's pretty easy to find. The entire state is a coastline, fresh fish is not a problem at all. The US makes good artisanal cheese as R234 suggests, but it's expensive and you have to go out of your way to find it. Sausage as well but because people in California are much more health conscious than the rest of the country, sausage is not something that they consume on a daily basis.

FYI while everyone loves to think Italians all came from the poorest part of Italy and stayed in NYC and New Jersey, there were waves of Italian immigrants that came to California a 100 years ago. What we think of as a common lemon here was brought over from Italy. San Francisco, San Diego and LA used to have full on Italian communities. Montecito Calif where all the clebs seem to love lately was settled by Italians finding area reminiscent of Italy, they built farms and gardens similar to those they had left behind. Then the wealthy people came and the end of the 19th century. Some of Calif first vineyards were started by Italian immigrants. So while California is not Italy, there is a good peppering of it's descendants and food culture spread across the state.

I've cooked mainly Italian most of my life. I make my own pasta using imported "00" flour. I get EVOO from Italy or Spain. My local Italian grocery store imports EVOO from Italy, but our local supermarket gets a really good one too, which they sell under their "gourmet" house brand. I only use Parmigiano-Reggiano or (sometimes) Pecorino-Romano (usually made in Sardinia, actually).

I buy box pasta by De Cecco, which is made in Italy. I'm getting a case of Cento tomatoes tomorrow from Italy. 35-oz. size, for around $25 on Amazon Prime. They're not San Marzano, but I like them.

I get salumi from a local Italian manufacturer called Parma. If I use meat, the chicken is usually Bell & Evans or kosher; the beef is usually Black Angus. I can't get Italian meat. You do what you can.

I don't drink anymore. When I did, it was all from Italy. Valpolicella. Brunello di Montalcino. Grave Friuli. It's been awhile. I don't remember all the wine names. Now I drink sparkling water from Italy.

I have some Lavazza coffee. I drink it with cream, something I never used to do. It's good.

Anyway, Italian is how I like to eat. I'm not Italian, but I like it.

Did he give a recipe for the FA? I want the recipe for the FA. Where can I find the recipe for the FA?

I want a recipe for some musky crotchy noodles!

Sometimes you need starchy water for certain pastas. Cacio e pepe requires it in order for the cheese to adhere to the noodles.

R154 so says the Brit with the rotten teeth, your ass is jealous.

I just made a carbaholic meal of fresh Rana mushroom ravioli with their stir in pesto. It tastes as good as fresh and has the salt levels to prove it.

Well except Barilla, the largest pasta brand in the world gets about 50% of it's durum wheat from USA.

R259 Wheat yes. Flour no.

Where do you think Flour comes from R260? Wheat maybe?

Genius, are you aware that flour is processed differently in the US compared Europe?

The wheat is shipped to Italy to be processed r262. It's then blended with other wheat from other parts of the world, (not just Italy) to get a consistent quality.

The difference is in how the wheat is processed. The use of chlorine, bromates, and peroxides are not allowed in the EU.

Why are we talking about bread - show us the Italian guy's cock already.

Also: flour in Italy is not enriched.

R251, great post! Agreed.

[quote] Daily wine in Italy are humble inexpensive table wines

R236, I will definitely concede this. The price for a good bottle of wine in the US has become more affordable, but getting a glass of wine in a restaurant is still highway robbery. Wine by the glass in European restaurants is much cheaper.

This dish is not Italian, American crap via the olive garden

Italians, whether in Italy or America, know how to fucking cook. They have always made the best food. The culture revolves around it.

I can't believe you guys don't get that the stereotypical Italian American thing is a joke. God, when did the DL become overrun by idiots who can't pick up on even the simplest things?

We're better than both of you.

[quote]The difference is in how the wheat is processed. The use of chlorine, bromates, and peroxides are not allowed in the EU.

You are living in the past. It's not 1970 anymore, check your calendar. Bleached flour is very unpopular theses days. Most people who bake don't use it at all. King Arthur Flour is one of the most popular brands in the world and it contains no bleach, no bromate, and no artificial preservatives of any kind. It's very good by the way.

[quote]You are living in the past. It's not 1970 anymore,

Bub, when was the last time you rolled out some pastry at home? Or baked some bread? The ready made products you buy, breads, cakes, pasta, cookies, crackers etc are made with chemically bleached flour.

*The ready made products you buy ( made in the USA ) breads, cakes, pasta, cookies, crackers etc are made with chemically bleached flour.

This dude's hot. I'm gonna follow him.

Still serving that guido goodness. I like how he shows off his body in an almost practical way... like... he knows he looks good in a tank top, so why not wear one, you know?

and the tease of treasure trail in the photo above

Grandmama Gina, what say YOU?

Manga surigillo muscata mano! AMATEUR!

Does he never open those windows?

[QUOTE] This dude's hot. I'm gonna follow him.

I’d follow him, but he’s hardly ever shirtless. One shirtless pic? Come on. I don’t give a damn about him when he’s fully dressed.

It is Gianluca's birthday today, guess he was actually19 since he is turning 20 today.

He is now doing cameo vids for hire.

Should we hire him DL?

He looks like someone used a toilet plunger on his face.

He reminds of that kid who did videos .... can’t remember his name. He wasn’t a tease. He delivered. He loved to show off his sexy as hell body that rivaled Marky Mark. He would wear his high school baseball uniform and take it off. He was supposedly underage and all his photos and pictures were wiped off the internet...

R284 - sounds like Storm Lefron/Luke Miconi.

....although Luke was far more attractive and far less bulky than Marky Mark.

Per R282's link, he said he would do "anything" in the requested video. Of the examples he posted, the one for Yovanna was the best.

[quote]He looks like someone used a toilet plunger on his face.

Really? I wish someone would use that same toilet plunger on MY face :-)

He’ll have a sugar daddy in a hot second. That asshole is going to be flown to West Hollywood in due time.

The kid has a tight stomach. But that goes with being 20. Lots of 20 year old have stomachs like his.

But this kid's face is hideous. It's okay now, but it will not age well. And when it goes, he's going to look like everyone's crazy uncle.

asked for a treasure trail vid. will update

He's not a "real" Italian unless he still has his 4skin.

R291 = Doing the lord’s work.

You got to keep us updated r291 with how he responds to that.

R292 I'm more than willing to do a spot check for foreskin.

His newest instagram story he says Cameo isn't Onlyfans, maybe that is in response you r291

The kid is an idiot. He needs to be cashing in while the looks are still there. In ten years he'll be broke, living with his mother, and sitting on a sofa eating Cheetos while crying for those missed opportunities.

He clearly needs a gay best friend to guide him... and present his hole to potential rich daddie$.

R297 He'll cry a little after the first thick cock, but he'll be fine.

Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome contestant R297 to the stage, Mr. Dylan Geick

Excellent suggestion R299!! Dylan could introduced our Italian twink to some men with wealth. He'll be rolling in cash and flying to exotic locations in no time.

[quote]But this kid's face is hideous. It's okay now, but it will not age well.

So -- is his current face hideous, or "okay?" Are you going prematurely blind? Or maybe it's not premature, you type really old.

I find her very attractive now. Who knows what he looks like in the future.

....

At least he tried to have fun with it I suppose r303, but damn he was not going to show you any skin. Thanks for trying.

Link in R303 doesn't work.

It works fine for me, r305.

He's so sexy and when he made his Fellatio Almondine I provided my own cream sauce~!

(Ugh. Such a creep.)
