Penne Pasta with Sausage Ragu

[nefermaatra]

I'm italian and I live near venice, I do love your videos and i'd like to suggest you not to use bell peppers and to replace the parlsley with fresh rosemary: you'll get the real italian ragù! =) ciao!

[freitasex]

@nefermaatra

Thank you for that :D

[bluidego2]

I made this but used fresh basil instead of parsley and white onions

[freitasex]

@bluidego2

Your ingredients sound wonderful and thanks!

[joyjoyooO]

[joyjoyooO]

[freitasex]

@joyjoyooO

[super643d]

@freitasex I <3 you too ^^

[fatpaws]

3-4 people? Psh. I'd get some bread and make that for 1 ;)

[willyham72]

@fatpaws thats wat i was thinking to

[mnagmobile1]

Why didn't you sweat the onions and peppers first? And why did you use CANNED tomatoes?

[idecide100]

Nice video I'm tryin it right now:)

[freitasex]

@idecide100

I hope you liked it!

[DLAJC]

[freitasex]

@DLAJC

Thanks!

[Grabandgo]

That was really good!

[freitasex]

@Grabandgo

Excellent, glad you loved it :)

[noangel1987]

nice recepie. when i used to make ragu in class my instructor made us concesse the tomatoes. but using the canned is much easier, i'll just used canned when i cook at the house. thanks for sharing

[freitasex]

@noangel1987

Thanks again :)

[Benzenering1004]

I know that all the great chefs such as yourself recommend using fresh grated Parmesan cheese, Call me crazy, but I prefer the powdery one that comes in the green container with a pop-top lid..haha :P  Nice job, breakfast sausage is a great idea.

[freitasex]

@Benzenering1004

I do think that there is NOTHING wrong with the green container parmesan.

Although I do believe that the more you pay the better the parm.

I use both!

The green can stuff never goes to mold either!

Thanks for you comment :)

Oh, I am not a great chef, at least that is my opinion.

[YMSFSFNDS]

@freitasex ur opinion ur not great but many of us think u are!

[2Feet1Wheel]

that looks sooo delicious! im craving it right now.

[freitasex]

@2Feet1Wheel

Oh you make me *smile*

Coming from you as you have so much more potential than I do!

[2Feet1Wheel]

@freitasex haha and you make me laugh! can we just say we're equals? id prefer that than me "having more potential" because i think your videos are so awesome!

[westislandkev]

looks so delicious, gonna try this. French bread (baguette) halved and toasted and glazed with garlic fried lightly in olive oil, salt and pepper and a glass of red wine and I am in heaven. I appreciate your style, keeping it fun and real, the music was a good touch !!

[freitasex]

@westislandkev

WOW, thanks so much :)

[mvislay]

Well Michael actually brought me this for lunch the other day and I have to say it was amazing~ Every bite was filled with flavor, it was spicy but it was not over powering. I'm also one that loves spicy food though. Actually rewatching the video makes me sad that I'm not eating it right now. Thanks Michael! And forum you have to make this it was delicious~

[freitasex]

@mvislay

Thanks very much Matt, you make me *smile*

[sarazizify]

Looks like a nice dish.. thanks! Is there any way to turn the music in the background off?

[freitasex]

@sarazizify

Sorry about the background music... I keep turning it down in each video (I think)

I will turn it down more.. and ... no you can not yourself turn it down, sorry :(

[sarazizify]

Looks like a nice dish.. thanks! Is there any way to turn the music in the background off?

[freitasex]

@AlohanMabuhay

I would get Jimmy Dean or if you have an Albertson's get their store brand.

Thanks!

[TheKjify]

What if I use red wine instead? Will the flavor be stronger?

[freitasex]

@TheKjify

I used white wine because I was cooking with pork, but you can yes red wine for sure, thanks!

[TheKjify]

Now I have to go eat something even though I just had dinner! GREAT JOB!!

[freitasex]

@TheKjify

If you do that you will be fat like me!

[lilxcarebear]

That looks delicious! I love the colors! :D

[freitasex]

@lilxcarebear

Tanks so much!

[Praxxus55712]

[ultratec66]

Beautiful plate! Looks yummy, thanks!

[freitasex]

@ultratec66

Thank you!

[GreatGig1]

That looked soooo good! Glad I had just eaten when I watched it...lol

[freitasex]

@GreatGig1

Now that was a funny comment, thanks you make me *smile* :)

[GreatGig1]

@freitasex That didn't come out quite right, did it?? hahaha! My meaning was had I NOT just eaten you would have made me soooo hungry! But I'm sure you got that after you had a good laugh, that is...hahaha!

[freitasex]

@GreatGig1

What? I thought you meant that and I love that comment, to me one of the best I have ever gotten, really!

I guess that I am different, because watching something does not make me hungry, just makes me want to make it later or another day.

Love ya Caylyn!

[YMSFSFNDS]

This looks bomb perfect for lunch and dinner!

[freitasex]

@YMSFSFNDS

Thanks Chris :)

Once and a while I get an A from you!

[regamom3]

Another mouth watering easy dinner!!! Thanks for posting great vids.

Hope you have a wonderful Easter, with lots of yummy food!!!

[freitasex]

@regamom3

Thanks so much Reggie, just love ya!

[Bralor89]

looks good, like always...BUT

About the Wine..do i have to use it? Or what can i use instead of wine?

And what about the yellow bell peppers? Just for colour or is that a big taste-difference between yellow and red bell peppers?

Best wishes

[freitasex]

@Bralor89

Yes, you can omit the wine and it will be just fine.

Go straight to the tomatoes!

You also can use red bell peppers instead of the yellow for sure!

Not really any taste difference between the 2 of them.

I love questions and thanks for asking!

[peanutsthyname]

can't wait to try it myself! :)

[freitasex]

@peanutsthyname

I hop3 you do try it and let me know what you think!

Thanks :)

[peanutsthyname]

can't wait to try it myself! :)

[GameFreak87x]

Awesome!! End product, one word, PERFECTION!!!!

[freitasex]

@GameFreak87x

Thank you #1 :)

[lupine73]

That looks very good. Seems like a pretty straight-forward recipe, too

[freitasex]

@lupine73

I highly recommend this, well I like it so much.

Thanks :)

[thizizliz]

That looks delicious. Time consuming but simple; nothing complicated. The salad was a great complementary dish.

[freitasex]

@thizizliz

Thank you very much Liz!

[kent0149]

looks very Italian, other than that, looks good

[freitasex]

@kent0149

Thanks Kent... I wonder how it is going with you... catch up with you on FB.

[hallbe]

Yum! That looks so good!!

[freitasex]

@hallbe

Thanks Ben, one of my better ones if you don't mind me saying that.

I would recommend this!

[Perroquet51]

You sold me with the white wine. As always, a beautiful presentation. A pro couldn't have made it look better.

[freitasex]

@Perroquet51

Aw, thanks Marc :)

[SouthernSky]

I could eat this right away :)

Mike, please do a CAESAR SALAD soon

[freitasex]

@SouthernSky

Thanks!

Caesar Salad huh?

Well that sounds so very very good and you know what that means?

It will happen and thanks for the suggestion!

[SouthernSky]

@freitasex

Great! Because, In my subscriptions I have my trusted chefs with their foods and none of them have Caesar Salad in their recipes.

[konstantin523]

MUSIC SUPER!!! THANK S

[freitasex]

@konstantin523

Thank you!

And thank you for subscribing all the way from Russia! Wow!

[freitasex]

@Schnappi1936

Thanks :)

It was so good too.

[kenzeelee]

that looks fabulous! I bet the sausage gave much more of a zip to the taste, rather than just hamburger. Great video - thanks!

[freitasex]

@kenzeelee

Yes it was awesome, and thanks!
