Penne Pasta with Peas and Prosciutto

[tnglo]

Clara!! I love her!

[larrybonner1]

nice one

[unwhackII]

maybe u like it that way but for me this is little bit too liquid

[dvinb12345]

This recipe didn't really help my depression. I still go to therapy three times a week.

[tiptopluongo]

Things will get bad if you leave the stove on!

[22374656]

Can someone explain why is there word ''sexy'' in the tags? :D

[InuyashaxTakahashi]

@22374656 Because someone who can cook is sexy?

[unwhackII]

@22374656 to attract more viewers.

[celicollazo]

As always... I loved the recipe... but hmmm you sounded a little less happy... why?

[taiyou18]

I love Clara's videos and this is an amazing variation of her recipe :)

[rostant999]

i lived on macacroni and peas during grad school maybe 3 times a week, it was cheap but good.. with some really hot pepper sauce and a scoop of cottage cheese it was great.

[PashtanaKochai]

A must try if you love Pasta!

[toughsuga2]

This is too funny! Love your videos. I am addicted.

[nskhan1983]

lol,,,love ur sense of humor:p

[nadiimaa]

okay the depression was'nt that bad

[jpkrmarshall]

this guy is so cool, got to try some pasta recipes now !!!x

[madhushri86]

nothin for a sane vegetarian lik me??? :(

[julialovesvuitton]

@madhushri86 why don't you just take out the prosciutto?

[krossbonnez]

You sweat more during recession .. lol .. Tell me about it !

[FocusedMatt]

i dont like peas on my pasta but this still looks FREAKIN AMAZING

[MidnightOverlord]

the sauce looks kinda thin....

[Justic3h]

the funny thing is...the musician you stated killed himself not so long after this song hahaha

[chyrd]

@Justic3h Bobby McFerrin is very much alive. He is currently getting a group together that includes Bruce Hornsby.

[bayislove]

Whole Grain pasta is a fucking abomination.... even Italians don't use it, it's shit. I don't care how good it is for you, I'm sticking to regular when I make pasta.

save the whole grain for dipping bread in olive oil.

[oceantrolls73]

pasta is great. what can be substituted for the HAM? thanks for posting

[Justic3h]

@oceantrolls73 bacon can substitute the prosciutto :)

[zerocoolITA78]

ma che è??? ahaha

[awesometastic09]

yummyyy



[Lordfantom]

WHY are you cooking the prosciutto!!?! And that's how you cook pasta ? (ever heard of 'al dente' ?). Dear god what an abomination.....just stick to your burgers and mac & cheese.

[designator99]

@Lordfantom I don't think the way the pasta's cooked affects the fact that it's 'al dente' or not. It just means it's not entirely cooked al the way through and that's about 5-6min for penne...

[ianman6]

@Lordfantom "WHY are you cooking the prosciutto!!?!" To activate and transmit the flavors. "Ever heard of al dente" Yes, everyone has. That was al dente. You clearly have very little knowledge about cooking or you wouldn't be making such stupid comments.

[ukrainianZAIKA]

@Lordfantom lol ok...just stick to your video games and quit pretending like you know how to cook lol....

[krnewman]

There are two categories of prosciutto. Prosciutto crudo is "raw" ham that has been cured and is usually what is meant when one just says "prosciutto." The Serrano ham here is somewhat like Italian prosciutto crudo in that it is also a "raw" ham. Both, since they are cured are not only safe to eat raw, but intended to be. They are basically destroyed if cooked. There is also prosciutto cotto, which is cooked, and like an american boiled ham which can be cut up into chunks to add to sauces .

[designator99]

@krnewman I know what Serrano is, I just thought he had his terminology wrong. Turns out it was a mistake on my behalf.

[designator99]

I thought prosciutto is regular cooked ham?

[krnewman]

I hate to be negative and all but the Italians are right here, this is a terrible dish. It ruins the cooking of the pasta, ruins the peas, and ruins the prosciutto. For that matter it's terrible use of garlic. It's not just bad cooking, but horribly wasteful of perfectly good ingredients which could have made an excellent dish. I mean, it's cooking done by someone who has no respect for the ingredients and doesn't understand even basic simple techniques. Under the guise of poverty cooking.

[jkshoujk]

@krnewman No one can be "right" when it comes to subjective things such as taste. As a matter of fact, have you even tasted this dish? Even if you have and still stand by your opinion, Chef John still has his and is free to do whatever he wants with his ingredients. He paid for them.

[krnewman]

@jkshoujk He's free to buy a car and never change the oil, but that doesn't make it right or advisable. He is abusing perfectly good ingredients here. It is decadent and wasteful. He dishonours the pig who gave his life to make that ham. Serrano ham is excellent (and that's not 25 cents worth) but NEVER if you cook it, that makes it stringy and hard and unpleasant. This could have been gourmet, but instead he makes confinement loaf porridge for poor people, not even cheap. Italians are right.

[mrnotfai]

no no no nooooo ma che si cucinano così le penneeeeee... Vieni in italia e mangiale qui...

[cherd1971]

NICE & SIMPLE

[chochipaez1]

love it!!!!

[jasmjne84]

na cagata!!

[Aprilshowersss]

for some of us things are that bad and worse

[JessicaPersonalChef]

I made this last night with some variations! Delicious!!!!!! And it makes a ton! Perfect for a comforting lunch all week!

[ZildjianGretsch]

You seem to care more about the money than the food

[CarolineTurpentine]

@ZildjianGretsch or this is his job and he has a family to support.

[ajvagirl]

Don't Worry Be Happy! One of my favorite songs :)

[1975umber]

it's not pasta, it's a soup.

matteo

[pragmatismnotidealis]

I am eating this now but instead of prosciutto I used bacon. Its is fucking TASTY! Thanks for the great recipe,

[Andaloro1]

this is soup with penne...

[orseorse]

I'm Italian. This recipe is not Italian and is an insult to our kitchen and especially the pasta and prosciutto

[GreatKim12]

@orseorse you got damn right man, i'm italian too, and that way of cookin' pasta is really weird. never seen somethin' like that b4 duuuude..

[NickyNNN]

@orseorse Guarda che lo dice anche che questa è UNA SUA VERSIONE del piatto.. Nessuno pretende che un americano si metta a cucinare perfetti piatti italiani anche perchè (non so che idea tu abbia..) in america non si trovano facilmente le materie prime come il prosciutto cotto e poi ogni paese ha le proprie abitudini alimentari e i propri gusti! Mai mangiato un piatto tipico americano o una versione americana dei nostri piatti? Cambieresti idea! Altrochè insulto va là!

[cazzei]

@NickyNNN In effetti quando sono stato negli Stati Uniti sono rimasto piacevolmente sorpreso!!! E cmq sto notando che stanno facendo ottimi passi in avanti ! Secondo me "toppano" il tempo di cottura e usano ancora una quantità smodata di cipolla e aglio (Come ad esempio in questa ricetta) e mischiano spesso un po' troppo troppi ingredienti... Però è anche vero che ho avuto la possibilità di mangiare in alcuni luoghi dove le portate, anche a base di pasta, non era niente male..

[besamemucho5]

i wonder where clara is now that the economy has really gone to hell.....i would add some meatballs and a little more red sauce....add to it garlic bread some wine and some salad....

[joetorsney]

I made this, it tastes really nice, why not try milano salami instead of the Prosciutto

[SenorEd]

I think its hilarious how the pepto bismol ads always pop up in the beginning of Chef John's videos!

[bowhunter2439]

CHEF JOHN THIS VIDEO IS BEING POSTED BY REDLOBSTERGIVEAWAY....AS HIS OWN VID ....NOT YOURS....HE OR SHE HAS POSTED ALL OF MY VIDEOS WITHOUT PERMISSION......PLEASE REPORT TO YOUTUBE ....THANKS

BOWHUNTER2439

[TravAkira]

BRILLIANT!!! Mmmmm

[111dogon555]

Take that youtube commercial!!! F5 FTW!!!

[salenavwj]

what kind of liquid did you use..?

water? lol

[luckyenlucy]

@salenavwj he said: Chicken stock 

[supercooled]

@luckyenlucy Alternatively you can use water with a bouillon cube and you can skip the salt. Sometimes cheap means cheap, literally.

I actually like to do a variation on this using elbow pasta with water/chicken boullion, bok choi, leek (optional), carrots, onions, celery and a bit of soy sauce for colour and taste but with much more liquid. Almost like a pasta soup. Very cheap and quite hearty for cold days and nights.

[DrAndrew777]

You are the man ! Awesome.

[Porceddino]

I'm from italy and i've never seen that dish being cooked that way before...

[disndat11]

Oh my god, that looks like prison food!

[supercooled]

@disndat11 Haha that's so rude. I doubt prison gets food this well prepared and made. They probably throw you some kraft dinner and be done with it.

[lector06t]

Well, i could have the same difficulties to cook an american dish (i'm italian), but this pasta looks like a complete misunderstanding of the right way to do. Sorry, try again.

[Quillons1]

@lector06t I'm of Italian descent also and the misunderstanding is he isn't trying to cook an "Italian" dish. This is simple food for people to cook that is inspired by Italian cooking.

[Richiizz]

Just get some logs from your backyard and light 'em up. quick and cheap. LOL jk

[DueSpaghi]

I am Italian: not chop the garlic! This recipe does not exist in Italy: only beans, not peas. The "Prosciutto Crudo" is not good for cooking, you can only eat it as is it.

[giovannibulgari]

@DueSpaghi Ciao, ma volevi dire la pasta e fagioli non e' vero? Perche' mi pareva quella la' come l'ai detto. Ma poi al massimo si usano i tubetti!

[DueSpaghi]

@giovannibulgari : yes, giovanni, pasta e fagioli. E per i piatti di pasta "non asciutta" si usano tipicamente i tubetti o altra pasta corta. ;-)

[Cute4ever0005]

Chef John...I love your cooking.This looks great! and shout out to Clara!

[giovannibulgari]

And of course, prosciutto di Parma is very salty already. By how this guy has cooked this your pasta (and sauce) will end up like a brine or pickle, since you need to add at least 3-4 tablespoon of salt to pre-boiling water (since the pasta absorbs a lot of it).

[giovannibulgari]

What is this guy doing!!! Please people do not cook pasta like this it is abysmal. First, prosciutto crudo should not be cooked very long in pasta sauces (example risotto prosciutto e fichi). Prosciutto di parma is desiccated and seasoned and has already a very strong taste. Secondly, he throws the pasta boiling with the sauce! Hahah! Pasta should be lightly cooked before, then when the sauce is cooked pasta should be drained and jumped with the sauce in a pan. This is bad cooking, believe me.

[aurayon]

@giovannibulgari No need to be rude. There's always at least one know-it-all Italian person criticizing every cooking video on Youtube. John clearly explained that this recipe was inspired by Clara's "Depression Era Cooking" videos. Get over yourself.

[notlikecrazii]

@giovannibulgari

I think you missed the point of the video....

[DonBrione]

OMG! First the pasta needs to be cooked separate for 11 min, in salted water.

Put in the salt only when the water boils! Prosciutto e Serano Ham are NOT the same. Prosciutto is naturel and fresh Serano is salted and seasoned! Prosciutto just means HAM, there is Prosciutto Crudo/Raw and Prosciutto Cotto/Boiled.

Cook your tomatoes and pees wth the union togheter, let them cook for atleast 20 min. Then last but not least, serve one plate at a time.

[SaintSeiya300]

@DonBrione ^^U Thanks for the extensive advice?

[lameristotel]

Do you know the man who made this song "dont worry be happy" made a suicide.

^^

[willmross]

Im a chef and do alot of experimental cooking in my spare time. ive made a dish very similar to this and it wasnt that good. but im always one to try new things so ill give this a go and see what its like.

[CaledoniaJeanne]

John, we loved the sound effects! We love Clara, too. Many thanks!

[TheRabidWollverine1]

nice! my indian style pasta is way different :p

[Sarah1627]

great recipe.. but if i dont want to use ham what would you recommend to use instead??

[landis69]

@Sarah1627 there's no real substitute for prosciutto. you could use chicken but it wouldn't be as good.

[GnFrNc70]

Onions must disband and become part of the cream, then should be diced very small. Anyway, compliments for your channel. Bye!

[GnFrNc70]

Prosciutto should cook for a few seconds, just a bit 'fried and kept aside (not boiled), otherwise it loses all its excellent flavor.

[GnFrNc70]

Hello, I'm Italian and I prepare this dish often. Although it is a dish of my country, I will not say which is absolutely the best way to prepare it. I would just give advice, the pasta (almost always) should be cooked only in water and salt. The sauces are prepared separately and mix with pasta at the end. The sauce should be creamy but not too watery, as in this case. Greetings.

[lillydoodleify]

THESE ALL RECIPIES LOOK SOOOO DELICIOUS

[pijodi]

i need a Drink cheers

[Living2TheMax2]

thats a big pan

[sowady]

Sacrilege...you are using Serrano Spanish ham for an Italian pasta dish that requires Prosciutto totally different tastes but hey dont worry be happy as they say.

[PianoArrangements]

i love the sound effects lol

[MrsSizzy]

the sound effects make this the most interesting cooking show I've ever seen. Amen.

[LamCriddlexx]

[Gannondalf]

[blabla2914]

prosciutto and serano is NOT the same..

[ursecretevilmonkey]

@ozoshah actually some of his family members are Italian. he mentions it in his ciabatta bread video.

[ozoshah]

@ursecretevilmonkey ...italians as rudolph giuliani or sylvester stallone?

[sarelle500gr]

I want this John!

[urielaurora]

i really want to try this

[RetardPwnage]

At least... not yet. classic :D

[Gannondalf]

i love prosciutto... i wrap shit in it

[sharmaine24]

@Gannondalf hah?

[Spazzyxgirl]

:) AWESOME!! but the way that liquid is water? or soup?? @_@

[Njai9799]

The music effect at 3:17 to 3:22 is hilarious! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!

[TOPOFFMAN]

I'm not that picky. This is a good dish. Just use macaroni if you want. If you are hungry enough you will eat anything you can get.

[LaDyMaCeTtE]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[howieboy62032914]

Not my thing. A waste of good penne putting it in a broth like that.

[PORKSHANKREWFUS]

@howieboy62032914

Do you prefer unflavored, plain penne pasta?

[howieboy62032914]

No, i don't mind a 'dry' pasta like Pasta Norma, or with a sauce like Bolognaise, but he makes a kind of stew here, and i don't think it looks very appetising.

Each to their own though.

[omgspazattack]

I love this recipe, thank you!

and I LOL'd when I saw "sexy" was one of the tags.

[cockerspanielowner]

@omgspazattack I saw it too

[AndysMusicxD]

People have their own way of cooking douche. I bet you cant cook any better than he can.

[techsolo3]

Ok, I apologize for what I've written, I've been rude. You're right, people have their own way of cooking, but pasta is pasta. If you want to cook a soupe, then this could be a good recipe. But trust me, that kind of pasta shouldn't be cooked like this. Sorry if I have offended somebody..

[CaptEm1]

@techsolo3 How should it be cooked then?

[Brianmuuh]

do you warn pasta between your buttcheeks or what??

[probot65]

ooo Ragu

[abaaycanshuur]

lol  me too the random sound efects crack me craizy :-D

[imuLou]

Looks so good... and LOL, the random sound effects crack me up! XD

[irwinp]

nice

[michaelnrdx]

*Turns nose* HMPH! Clara's was much better!

Lol.

[duckmanx88]

i just started learning how to make pasta for myself in college. i made it last night and failed. i'll try again tonight with this recipe.

[macchef01]

use a large pot(very important so noodles don't stick) bring water to a boil. Add a full tablespoon of salt(not only for flavor but it also makes the water boil at a higher temp again helps keep pasta from sticking) stir while cooking(again keep from sticking) when to the tenderness you like strain imediately and add some olive oil.  top with your favorite sauce and enjoy.

[duckmanx88]

thank you! i've been doing your instructions already but confirmation is always good. i've been using only a pinch of salt so i guess i'll increase the amount

[Sh0opDaWho0p]

It seems a soup... dunno how good is, but mine is sure better.

Sembra una zuppa... non so quanto è buono, ma la mia pasta è di certo più buona.

[futurefashiondesign]

that looks really good

[BRAAAAAAAT]

Looks soooo good. Love your videos, please make more!!!

[xthehuntedx]

What a waiste of serrano ham...

[thethetasurge09]

you the man. thank you so much

[landis69]

Chef tip...If your cooking with Prosciutto buy twice what you need. because you will end up eating half of it because it tastes so good. :)

[Loveheart1990]

I love ur voice too!

[ballabiocurry]

Bella minestra.

[Rasprogress]

Prosciutto is expensive. I recently bought 2 paper thin slices for a dollar. A pound of prosciutto costs about $12 at one of our local supermarkets.

[edrianquintos]

thats weird... lol.. prosciutto doesnt cost taht much Xo you can actually 6 -8 slices for 2 euro or less here in italy.. XO
