Dear Italians and lasagna experts, I apologize for probably not making this the correct way. Please do not yell at me too much even though I might deserve it. Sincerely, a boy who has sensitive ears

"Moooom.. when will dinner be ready?" "Just 90 more hours sweetie"

The cutting synced with the music at 12:25 is soooo relaxing

I'm Italian and I'm amazed. That's not just one of the very BEST lasagna I've ever seen... he also made it by following one of the most traditional "ragù" (the red tomato sauce) recipes ever. It's the almost the same ragù recipe my father used to cook for Sundays' lunch using whole short ribs instead of grounded meat. Kudos to this great "italian" chef!

Police: What have you done between Friday 4pm till Tuesday 4pm? Alvin: Lasagna.

Someone: What is your secret to being so skinny !? *Alvin: I finish cooking every four days.*

I have terrible insomnia and so many nights when I'm up all alone in a still house while everyone sleeps, Alvin's videos are the only thing that helps me nod off. Thanks for your amazing cook and relaxing work. You've created adult bedtime stories.

Alvin's videos are like a mini vacation for me.

I feel like Alvin is living in his own Studio Ghibli world when he cooks.

This is what it would have been like if Bob Ross was a chef.

Oh how I miss these videos. Alvins episodes on Andrews channel are very nice, but this format with no voiceover and just the peaceful sounds of cooking and a bit of chill music is a whole different level of wholesome that I need back into my life!

I made this lasagna for valentines day and i was so so so happy with the result! It was the best one I've ever had in my life, thank you so much for the recipe and it was super relaxing to cook with you :)

100 hour lasagna = 5 hours cooking + 95 hours carefully placing camera, lights, composing shots and editing this incredible video.

At this rate, Alvin's going to be raising his own chickens and growing his own wheat soon for the 1-year lasagna.

I highly recommend to take the sauce to the next level, buying 8-12 roma tomatoes and stewing them and blending them with some salt, sugar, and basil to create your own tomato base. Love the video!

I made this for my grandma and she cried and thanked me for such a lovely meal :D

The way he edits is therapy, the way he talks to his food is therapy. Food is therapy too. So thanks

"I hope I don't spill the vegetables." "I have spilled the vegetables." Story of my life.

Alright, ive tried my best by watching the video to approximate a recipe guide for this amazing looking lasagna. I approximated ingredients amounts, but cooking times and exact temperatures are something i couldnt get from the video, so look up similar recipies for those(for the cheese sauce, look up bechamel recipies and for the finished lasagna look up lasagna recipes and use the relevant times/temps from those) Hoping i got this right, i'll definitely have to make this in the future. Meat sauce: 1 large white onion, chopped Equivilent ammount of celery and carrots, chopped Olive oil 6-7 beef spare ribs, bone in 1/2 cup of pancetta, diced 1 heaping tablespoon tomato paste Red wine, chateau fort lignac, pour around 3 seconds 2 jars tomato sauce Pecorino cheese 3/4 cup Cheese sauce: 2-3 tbs of butter 1 cup of milk 4-5 tbs of flour Pepper 1 tbsp of nutmeg 1/2 -3/4 cup of pecorino cheese Noodles: 11 eggs, whites removed 3-4 cups flour Salt Melted butter, or olive oil Cooking instructions: Brown beef spare ribs in a large pot with olive oil. Remove. In the same pot, add your pancetta and brown it. Chop one large white onion, and an equivilent ammount of chopped carrot and celery. In the same pot, saute with olive oil until softened. Add tomato paste, and stir. Deglaze with red wine, cook off the alcohol. Add jars of tomato sauce (or equivalent of homemade if desired) and spare ribs. Bake covered low and slow for a few hours, until the beef is fork-tender. Remove ribs to a separate dish. Remove the bones, and shred with a fork. Add the beef back to the sauce along with 1/2-3/4 cups of pecorino cheese. Cover and chill until needed. The next day, melt and brown the butter in a sauce pot. Add 4-5 tbs of flour and cook until it now longer smells raw (smells like cooked pie crust) Quickly whisk in milk (tip: cold milk, hot rue, no lumps) Add 3/4 cup pecorino cheese, nutmeg, and pepper. Cover and chill in the fridge until assembly. The next day, seperate the yolks and whites of 11 eggs. Pour 3 1/2 cups of flour on to a work surface, making a well in the center. Place the egg yolks in the center, lightly salting. Break the yolks wih a fork and stir gradually into the flour until you can no longer stir. From there, knead the dough until a smooth supple dough ball forms. Wrap in plastic and rest for around 30 mins to an hour. Divide the dough in half, and using either a pasta roller or a rolling pin, roll out each half of the dough thinly. (For a pasta roller, gradually roll from the thickest setting to the 2nd thinnest. For a rolling pin, roll until about 1/3rd to 1/4th of an inch). Cut into noodles appropriate for the size of pan you are using. Boil the noodles for a minute or two until they are al dente Lay them to the side and brush with olive oil. Assembly: Warm up both sauces in a low oven. Meat sauce first layer, then go noodle, meat sauce, drizzle cheese sauce until you reach the top noodle layer. Top with a thick layer of cheese sauce. Cover and chill overnight. Grate additional pecorino on top before baking, approx 1-1 1/2 cups. Garnish with parsley after baking.

I didn't intend to watch the entire video, but I was instantly drawn in by how well produced this video is. Major props to you, and your friends are very lucky

"Dad Im Hungry!" "Son, I told you! We have 98 more hours to go!"

Life goal: to be one of Alvin's friends.

The cutting of the lasagna being in sync with the music fills a spot in my little chef soul that i didn't even know was there 🌸

Alvin's videos are soooo calming and reaxing, i really love the vibes here so much, and the way alvin talks about everything his friends and life and stuff. also the talking to food thing is endearing, i really love this place

Me at supermarket: What do I wanna eat today? Alvin at supermarket: What do I want to eat next week?

My theory is that Alvin only eats every 100 hours, eating only coffee and brown butter until his meal is complete.

i’ve been making the lasagna for years now, and it’s always been a hit in my family. it’s a holiday staple at this point, thank you for sharing your wonderful recipe!

I think this is my favorite food video on the internet, everything about it is so absolutely cozy and emits a comfy vibe, from the little commentary subtitles to the sounds Alvin makes in excitement, sasuga recommended section, you have struck gold, amazing work Alvin.

Video Title “10 Year Burger” Alvin: “So first step raise your own cow”

"I hope I do not spill the vegetables" "*I HAVE SPILLED THE VEGETABLES*" My life in 2 sentences

I’ve watched this 3 times over the past year and still gives me a warm feeling inside every time

The vibes in this video are immaculate. It’s just so chill and friendly

Alvin, your production quality amazes me. I know for a fact how hard it is to make a good cooking video and you took it to another level. There must be an insane amount of work behind a video like this one and you seem to really care about all the little details in every single one you make. Hats off to you and congratulations on your beautiful channel.

I'd actually be happy if this is my father and says "we have food at home".

Just a simple man sharing his cooking with the world. Makes me happy for some reason. 😄

Between the filmmaking/production skills, the chef skills, and the music taste, I am in art overload. This video is layered with beauty just like the lasagna

My daughter and I made this over spring break. Estimated amounts on what you did. Got it pretty close. Freaking decadent. Short ribs were a revelation. Sit time in the fridge was the icing on the cake. Congrats sir, this was amazing!

That is dedication my man.

The aesthetic of the kitchen and the music and the text and ah everything just fits together so nicely.

One of the greatest food videos that I have ever seen. A wonderful reminder that cooking is not always about how quickly and accurately you can make something and hope that it comes out fine. Even with the editing, this is a perfect example of how much better something can be with a little more time, work, and passion. The same thing can apply to a miriad of other things. A truly spectacular video overall, something I have never thought I would have enjoyed this much. Never change your style.

can we just appreciate the fact that he was wearing a white shirt and didn't get any sauce on it? that's skill.

That looks like a lot of work. "This is fun." That looks like fun.

Wow…one of the most beautiful and smooth cooking videos I’ve seen. This is real art!

Es de las primeras veces q miro tus videos, en mi humilde opinion creo q retratas de manera fiel el sentimiento que poseemos las personas que disfrutamos y amamos cocinar. La musica, el hablar con la comida, ser criticos sobre nosotros mismos, pero haciendo todo con un amor y conexion mas fuerte. digamos casi en trance.

7:46 "I hope you slept well." *Pats dough* "Wake Up." *Cuts dough in half*

the subtitles here read like a children’s book and i mean that in the best way. simple, calming, peaceful. makes you feel right at home.

The food, the music, the lighting, the angle makes me feel so relax

You live the aesthetic i love, dim low lights , cooking a beautiful meal for a rainy day, UGH i love everything about this video

Alternate title: guy being wholesome to lasagna for 100 hours

Anyone else notice the music after the transition to the first evening? He went to play Zelda and comes back with a Zelda's Lullaby remix. Genius my man.

I keep coming back to your videos Alvin! That's how good they are

I think what’s so nice about these videos is that it really captures the feeling of doing something you do well alone.

1000 year lasagna: First we have to discover agriculture...

"The bottom is a little ugly" Me: * covers lasagna's ears * no he didn't mean it, you are perfect.

I keep coming back to watch this. It is soooo soothing and I love cooking wonderful stuff. Thank you!

the fact that he's making it for his friends makes it so much better

Alvin's friends must be the luckiest people in the world.

trying to find out where he lives to one day steal food from his window

Dude, this video relaxes me so much I literally watch it to wind down after a hard day. More please!!

I want to cry, this is way too beautiful. The subtitles, the composition, the cinematography, the audio, the cooking, the weather, the kitchen...so... perfect.. Amazing. Thank you :)

Imagine when he reaches his friend's house they told him they ordered pizza

Imagine this family: -Dad, can you make me a sandwich? - sure, in 100 hours.

Really great video. Excellent work. The camera editing, the lighting, the details of the recipe… Just fantastic.

I am asking this seriously how can you hate this type of videos they are just relaxing and trying to make you happy

This is one of the most relaxing videos I've ever watched. The thoughtful camera angles, color grading, beautiful sound textures, and choice of music made this an absolute treat for the ears, eyes, and soul. Wonderful work! I'm so hungry now. Edit: The part where you cut into the finished lasagna is nearly in perfect sync with the beat of the song, and that is so satisfying.

By the time the lasagne is done, his friends’ house won’t be new anymore.

Probably one of the best I have seen. I am following this channel from today 😊

this chanell is a work of art

1000 hour lasagna

these videos give me the same warm feeling that Pixar's ratatouille does

Literally though, these videos are stunning on every level. So deeply enjoyable! Thank you.

this makes me feel nostalgia, even though i never made lasagna or heard this music. love the vids man

"I hope I don't spill these vegetables" "I have spilled the vegetables" story of my life

Alvin every video: “I know its weird, but I like talking to my food”

Alvin, your videos are seriously THERAPY. The peaceful music, the scenes of nature, and most especially - your calming presence. The commentary is adorable, and the food, of course, makes the whole world wish they could smell and taste it. Honestly, though, I would watch your videos if you were building furniture or grooming dogs or reading the phone book :)

This is the most beautiful vlog about making food ever made.

"Honey, when will dinner be ready?" *"In about four days, dear."*

"A better cook could probably do this faster, but I enjoy taking my time when I make food for my friends." a wise man once said : you can't rush art

Thank you so much for this content Alvin. You help to relax me and get me into a good mindset. Please keep up the amazing work. I look forward to all your videos.

Your style of video and captions fill me with a rage I didn't know I had

I made this for my boyfriends birthday last year. Now we're married. Thanks Al - making it again today, I will let you know in a year if its a boy or a girl ;) Edit (scince comments get lost sometimes): It's January now and I am 14 weeks pregnant

Yes sir! *Birdman hand rub*

I like coming back to casually watch these to chill, especially since Alvin's been on Babish so much lately I love watching the videos that are his roots.

I love these subtitles 😭😭 9:21 THIS IS SO CUTE HYELP 😭😭 this is so wholesome im subbing rn, and the effort in this video is SO clear aswell so much quality.

Imagine spending 100 hours making the lasagna and just to give it to his friend, God thats so wholesome

I bet he just says he’s giving his friends the food when in reality he is just getting a excuse for making 100-hour food.

Thank you for your hard working, this video absolutely makes me calm and happy

I've never seen someone Who give so much love and time for cooking food. Respect 👍🏻 i love it

im crying, this is the most beautiful video i've ever seen.

There's a lot about the "film-making" process of this video that I hope a lot more people can appreciate. 1 - The choice of no voice over, but just the most impeccable music selection paired with really crisp ambient SFX. 2 - The timing of the subtitles is just so perfect, as well as the humorous writing of them, itself. 3 - The gorgeous cinematography, lighting, colors; the use of super tight close-ups and mediums. 4 - And to tie everything together, the magnificent editing that encapsulates everything so well. Regardless of if one actually gets to taste the food involved or not, this is truly therapeutic viewing; whether through it's near perfect runtime, that allows one just about enough to sit back and relax, or through the combination of all the above elements, making for almost cinema like viewing 'for free'! Some of the very finest that KZfaq has to offer. Bravo, Alvin. :)

That’s beautiful man. My grandma used to say that a good lasagna has to be made at least one day before you eat it. You did an amazing job!

I play your videos on the side while I'm working cause this is relaxing and I want that kitchen

"i hope you slept well" "wake up" *cuts it in half*

therapy: expensive alvin's cooking: free

You really inspire me to take care when I cook. I think i’m gonna try this one day. Looks AMAZING 😍

Sat here drooling. just wow!

this guy: "lasagna made in 100 hours~" me: mmm yes *cold soup.*

*alvin spends 100 hours making a lasagna* his friend: "sorry i forgot to tell you but i'm vegan" 🧍

there's just something so relaxing about this, I don't know what. but I love it.

This is so aesthetically pleasing !! I can't believe I'm only discovering this now.
