What is the difference between Cage Free, Free Range, and Pasture Raised Eggs?

Without talking about the taste and health elements of these eggs, I think it's important to know what the classifications ACTUALLY mean.

Because the names all sound pretty good, but what does it all really mean.

This is one of my FAVORITE dishes to make, and I'm so glad it's the final episode of the series. It ties a lot of different ingredients and techniques together, and if you haven't had it before, work your way BACKWARD in the alphabet and start here.

If you've watched the whole series so far. You're amazing. Grazie mille.

50g Diced Guanciale
100g Pork Sausage
50g Onion Diced
Red Pepper Flakes
1 C Tomato Puree
1 Whole Egg (Plus 1 Yolk per Serving)
25g Pecorino Romano
2g Freshly Ground Black Pepper

1. Heat the guanciale on LOW until the fat renders and it gets a little crispy.
2. With the fat still in the pan, remove the guanciale and brown the sausage, the onions, red pepper flakes, and tomato puree.
3. Start cooking the pasta, and in a separate metal bowl, combine the eggs, cheese, pepper and a ladle of starchy pasta water.
4. When the pasta is done, combine everything in the metal bowl and stir constantly over the heat of the pasta water.
Stir till the eggs thicken and the sauce is creamy. Then add a splash of pasta water to achieve your final desired sauciness.

How to make the best hot cocoa in the world...

Like I said in the video... it all comes down to choosing the best chocolate.Any hot chocolate is going to be good, but if you really want to treat yourself to something great, give this recipe a try.


Recipe for 2 Cups:
1 1/2 c Whole Milk
1/2 c Heavy Cream
1 tsp Powdered Sugar
200g High Quality Dark Chocolate*

*If you prefer milk chocolate, go for it. If you like even darker chocolate, try that.

-Heat everything together on the lowest heat possible, whisking regularly to make sure nothing burns on the bottom.

-Heat until everything is perfectly smooth, and the serve with whipped cream, marshmallows, or however you like it.

NOTE: If you're using a chocolate with a stabilizer in it, the hot cocoa will thicken as it heats up, so add some more milk to thin it out. The ingredient ratios above only really work for pure chocolate.

Are Yam gnocchi better than normal gnocchi?

Not really. But they aren’t bad either. Honestly, the Italian alphabet doesn’t have a letter Y, so I wasn’t working with much on this one, and I had some extra sweet potatoes from Thanksgiving. So if you’re staring down some extra sweet potatoes and don’t know what to do… give this a try.

1 lb Sweet Potatoes
½ tsp Nutmeg
½ tsp Salt
1 Egg Yolk
½ c AP Flour (As Needed)


50g Butter
4-5 Sage Leaves
4-5 Broccoli Stems
Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese Wheel (Optional)

Wash and poke the potatoes before baking at 400F for 1 hour (Or until fully soft if your potatoes are smaller)

Fully mash the potato flesh until there are no clumps remaining. Either is a ricer, sieve, or meat grinder.

Combine the nutmeg, salt, egg, and flour until a loose dough forms.

Without overworking or kneading the dough, add flour until the dough stops sticking. Form into small snakes and cut into small, even chunks about the size of your fingertip..

Roll each dough chunk over a gnocchi board or textured surface to make grooves, then coat in flour to prevent sticking.

If you aren’t cooking all the gnocchi, you can freeze them on a piece of wax paper and then store for months. Just drop in boiling water when ready to cook.

Blanch the broccolini in boiling water for 1 minute, then chill and dice into rough pieces.

Brown the butter in a pan, then add the sage leaves, and broccolini.

Boil the gnocchi for 3-4 minutes until floating, and finish with the sauce and broccolini in the pan.

Instead of finishing in a parmigiano bowl, you can just sprinkle parmesan on top for a very similar effect. But if it’s a special occasion, just carve out the bowl, add a splash of high alcohol grappa, and light the bowl on fire before adding your gnocchi with a splash of pasta water.

🎄Tiramisu of the Bells🔔
(Singalong Karaoke Version)

It wouldn't be Christmas without the Most Wonderful Holiday Dessert of the Year

Recipe:

▢ 1½ c Milk (360g)
▢ 2 Packs Hot Cocoa Mix (80g)
▢ ¾ cup Grand Mariner (120g divided)

▢ 16 ounces Mascarpone (452g)
▢ 6 Egg Yolks
▢ ⅔ c Sugar (140g)

▢ 2 c Heavy Cream (480ml)
▢ 2 tsp Vanilla Extract

▢ About 40 Ladyfingers

▢ ⅓ c Cocoa Powder (33g)
▢ 3 Candy canes (Powdered)

-Make the Hot Cocoa according to the packet instructions, and pour in ¼ cup of Grand Marnier. Let cool.

-Rest a metal bowl on top of a pot of boiling water. (Make sure the water does not reach the bottom of the bowl). Over the heat, continuously whisk together sugar and eggs until the sugar is fully dissolved. Combine with the rest of the grand marnier to make a “zabaglione”

-Mix the Zabaglione with the marscarpone and whipped cream (either pre bought, or homemade with cream and vanilla…I prefer homemade because you can skip the sugar. The dish is already sweet enough with cocoa and zabaglione)

-Fold together until fully smooth, then layer the tiramisu with ladyfingers QUICKLY dipped into the hot cocoa, cream, more dipped ladyfingers and then a dusting of cocoa powder.

-Let it rest overnight so the cocoa powder has a chance to hydrate fully.

-Before serving, blend or crush a few candy canes into powder and use as a final little garnish.

The holidays are about spending time with people you love, not gifts. That's why most of these gifts are meant to be consumed with people you love. Still, I made this video for people who may be struggling with choosing the right gift. Instead of just spending tons of money on a thing you may never use, these affordable gifts show that you care, and MOST of them also go to supporting some small businesses.

For links to any of these products, you can visit my channel page. For some, I do have a PROMO code... but I'm not being paid or sponsored to make any of these recommendations. Every brand with a promo code was a brand I had already bought products from BEFORE making videos, then I reached out to my favorite brands to help share their quality products with my audience.

If you didn’t get the reference at the end of the video, you gotta watch (or rewatch) @thegodfathermovie #ad

Or better yet, in honor of The Godfather Part II celebrating 50 years, get The Godfather Trilogy in 4k and watch the whole thing while enjoying these Arancini.

These Sicilian Arancini are a classic street food, and they are meant to be eaten hot. Maybe if Don Fanucci had eaten some more of these instead of oranges, then Don Corleone wouldn’t have needed to take care of him for the neighborhood.

Check the pinned comment for the recipe!

There are SO MANY more... these were mostly just the Parmesan related ones. What else should I share about cheese?

When looking for real parmigiano reggiano, any large chunk will have the iconic "parmigiano reggiano" name in dots on the rind. If a piece is sold without any rind, be suspect. If you buy any preshredded or preheated parmigiano reggiano (which I would advise against for flavor reasons), just make sure the package has either the DOP seal or the Parmigiano Reggiano Consortium logo on it. You can see those logos in the video at around 40 seconds. Oh, and as an added bonus for reading this, my favorite Parmesan is the 24 month. Anything older than that is a bit too dry for me. ENJOY!
