As an Italian living in western Abruzzo (close to Norcia) I’m really glad you brought this recipe and you mentioned a lesser known region (at least abroad) as Umbria is compared to Tuscany, and I’m really happy for all the love you reserve to these traditional recipes. I don’t know if you know but the earthquakes in 2016 almost destroyed the cities of Norcia and Amatrice (the hometown of pasta all’Amatriciana, yes) as they did in 2009 with my hometown L’Aquila, so when it will be possible to travel freely again I recommend to go to these places helping the local communities to recover and trying these recipes in their “purest” form. Central Italy in the Appennini mountains region is less famous than other regions of Italy but it’s gorgeous with spontaneous people, rich and flavourful recipes and beautiful landscapes so try to visit these places besides Rome, Florence and Venice if you can!

Boar from Norcia here, can confirm this is how they cook us here.

Steve, this looks delicious. The bread is an Italian thing. My beautiful Italian wife uses the smoke detector to time the bread.

Bruh... it's 7am and now I'm gonna have pasta for breakfast.

Thank you for showing the mess ups and the improvisation. Makes me feel less alone 😂

He wasnt lying he did forget that bread

My favorite pasta dish, a local Italian restaurant makes this with black truffles and its incredible.

I have got to say, this channel is so good, so clear, so honest and well produced-- you deserve all the success and good fortune, thanks for putting these videos out there. This looks like another sure hit in my house, I can't wait to try it.

Made this last night and it turned out soooo good. Just like you said you need to be really careful with the salt and probably not salt the water near as much as you normally would. Also - big tip here for your fans so that they will never get stringy or clumpy cheese adding it to a dish - add some super starchy pasta water to the cheese (I use less water to pasta ratio when using this technique) and make a paste before adding the paste to the sauce. The starch acts as a binding agent to allow the emulsion to form smoothly. Learned this after many Cacio y Pepe failures. It's foolproof.

I like how to the point this is no bullshit and even including mistakes... makes it very relatable and down to earth

Love when some lore is shared with the recipe.

So glad you made this video, there are not enough Norcina recipes on KZfaq. I also add nutmeg to mine because that is how it was prepared for me at a restaurant in Rome. Love the video. One of the most underrated pasta recipes.

Followed the recipe. Left the bread in the oven. Burned the house down. Pasta was perfect. 10/10

>Stuffss up the order and puts oil infront of camera Finally a cooking channel i can relate to

Just made it for the first time. Can’t believe how good it is for how simple it was to make. You’re the man!

Italian cuisine is human heritage and the best queality. Of course i'm from Argentina and with italian roots!

I made this recipe exactly as shown last night. Holy crap is it good. The sauce is amazingly creamy and decadent. Rivals any pasta I've had at restaurants. Thanks for the recipe. It is now a staple in my repertoire.

He knew he was gonna fuggedabout the bread

I just made this. Best pasta I’ve ever made/eaten. I’m gonna try the rest of your “tour of Italy” starting with the pepper sauce one

made this tonight with frozen peas at the end... amazing! added some nice color and nutrition

I like your videos dude, particularly the length! Many other KZfaq cooking channels drag on forever with endless fluff & fill. I like that yours pack the same punch without compromising any information or quality in a much shorter time. This is a simple recipe, so why drag it out for 20 minutes. Nice one man, looking forward to trying this one out!

You've been my go to guy for cooking (and man I've learned a lot from you, thank you) for well over a year and i was today years old when i realized your name was steve. thanks steve

I'm literally imagining what this tastes like. It looks delicious!

oh snap it's italian biscuits and gravy

you are way underrated.. I cook for living and whenever I want a good pasta dish I come here.. I aint even embarassed you are unbelievably good.

I just made this. It’s amazing!! Thank you for the heads up about not adding salt until after the cheese! 😊

I had the intention of making this for just me and my girlfriend but my brother and his girlfriend and her daughter showed up unexpectedly. The daughter is a very picky eater but she cleaned the whole plate. This recipe is kid tested and kid approved. Thanks for the recipe man. Keep up the good work.

I made this recipe this week, it was really good even if I could feel my arteries clogging up, it was very rich. We don't really see Italian sausages in UK supermarkets so I used a decent Lincolnshire sausage instead.

i'm paying so much more attention to your commentary than the whole video, its just so sweet (food, as always, looks spectacular.)

The bomb pasta....Small portions...I don't think I'd make this....I'd eat the whole half pound of pasta and all the cheese, sausage and cream. I'd need a month at the gym. Maybe when I have company and we can all share some. Delicioso my friend!!!

Probably my favorite video of yours so far. A delicious-looking recipe I’d never heard of, some nice history behind it, and lots of personality. Can’t beat that Italian music either

“Let me get my air filtration system in place” *moves air purifier 4 inches 😂😂

Most towns in Italy (used to, before quarantines) have yearly food fairs (sagra) dedicated to the one or two typical dishes from the area, and since we have a LOT of small towns, you could spend a full summer/fall travelling from place to place, trying every week different recipes such as the one in this video. (That's something to put on a to-do list, I promise)

We used to have a restaurant up here in Albany that made a riff on this with amaretto instead of wine. It sounds like it's going to be too sweet, but they used a really spicy sausage that played well off the amaretto. Great music over the b-roll in this one, Stephen!

While I was making this, I saw that I had a pinch of saffron left in my spice cabinet and I threw it in the cream and let it infuse the sauce. I know it’s not traditional in this dish, but my intuition led me to do it and it was really delicious. I googled it and found that there is a sausage and saffron dish called “Pasta alla Monzese.” Just wanted to share in case you are looking for a new pasta dish to highlight on your channel!

I like that you added the garlic during the cooking process. In my opinion the sausage picked up both the raw and cooked garlic flavors. It’s all about layering! Terrific recipe Chef.

Thank you for showing and teaching people how to make these amazing dishes at home!! Grateful!

I can't stop watching all your videos. You are awesome

I love your channel! Making this tonight. thanks for making me smile - having a crappy morning and saw this. God Bless you and grandma!

I saw this yesterday and decided to make it last night. I loved it and my wife, who doesn't like Italian sausage, also loved it. She said that I may have changed her mind about it.

My absolute favorite dish of all time!

Stephen, That looked truly scrumptious. You inspired me tonight and I making this creation tomorrow night to celebrate our return home after being displace by Hurricane Ida for the last 10 days.

Absolutely beautiful again man. Pasta water is KEY in so many dishes, it's scared.

You are the only non italian youtuber with the respect of the italians. Monograno Felicetti tanta roba!

Looks scrumptious! (Also, nor-cheena is the pronunciation)

wow, this recipe ended up incredible! love your passion, steve...and your explanations are spot on and well-timed. hands down, you are my go-to chef for amazing pasta. keep up the amazing work.

I had this pasta dish one night in Rome a bunch of years back... ordered a 2nd plate that same meal... and went back 2 more times that week to get it... haven't ever been able to find it again... can't wait to try and make it!!!

Love this channel.My dad used to say to me: " Did you sneak into the nursery when we weren't looking. Where's our real kid?? Born and raised in cowboy country. Started making my own pasta when I was ten, lol. Holy eff. Just made this I added some thinly sliced yellow bell pepper sauteed with the sausage at the end. (I had to use some up, forgive me). I wrote the recipe out. I couldn't bear to loose it!

I have just discovered your channel and I am a real fan. I love pasta and am really enjoying your videos. I am going to make this one next.

Looks amazing. Italian sausage is so pretty bard to get in the UK. My local butcher doesn't do it and neither do the supermarkets.

As usual it looks mouthwatering! Loved the background music.

Ok, I've waited to comment on this recipe until I made it 3 times. Just made it for the 3rd time. And. Oh. My. God. It truly is the BEST tasting sauce and pasta I have ever eaten, anywhere. I'm a slightly better than mediocre cook and this is a far superior pasta than I've had in any of the best restaurants East or West. Pretty damn easy to make and my family and friends think I'm a God. For real. This makes you look that good. My rendition on it is to make a double batch. Double everything but NOT the cream. I use 3 cups. Comes out perfect. I also leave the large crushed garlic in the dish. Give people a heads up and they can choose to partake or not. The flavor is over the top. Unreal. Sir, your vodka penne pasta was my #1 until now. It just took a backseat to this dish. Which is saying a lot. Because that recipe is the shit. Thank you!!

I like your pasta knowledge and versatility

The longer down the pathway of good cooking that I travel, I continue to find that less is more. The things I truly enjoy I appreciate not only for their flavor but for their simplicity.

I made this a few weeks ago and it’s excellent! Beyond delicious 🤤

made this recipe the other week. Super filling, quick, and a new favorite recipe of mine! Amazing!

This is legitimately one of the best things I've made in a while and it's so simple. Thanks for sharing. PS i added frozen peas just before adding the pasta which was a nice sweet burst. Plus a little nutmeg. DEEEELISH!!!!

You pulled some good humor bits in this one. Nice!

Dude. As an Italian, your meals/recipes are epic. From your bolognese to your carbonara to your Cacio e Pepe, they are all on point. Love all of your videos! Keep it up.

Your plating skills and feel are great. Good job.

Just tried this tonight. Best pasta I have ever had in my entire life, no joke. I just put 1 clove of garlic because I like garlic but just a little bit when put in pasta sauces. Also it was a new-york sausage and not italian one.

"Urg... Why did you put that in front of the camera, Steve? Move it, please, move it... Thank You!" This honesty is honestly why I love this channel. Just passed you on to all my family members so we can all complete on "Master Chef Steve's Pasta Recipes (and More!)" every Thursday night! ;-)

Penne is my absolute favorite for cream based sauces.

I like the side camera. I like seeing you cook this way more than previous videos.

Absolutely love your videos, man! Love that you left your mistakes in instead of reshooting, consequently showing people how to fix them in case they do something similar. I'ts great to see that your channel is not this perfect youtube bubble, where nobody messes up ever. ;-) That's the way to go! I've done a couple of your recepies in the last couple months since I've just found your channel. My favourite now is the garlic bread, in fact I just made it yesterday and now a I have some leftovers in the fridge and I look forward to finishing it pretty soon. ;-) Keep up the great work!

Cooked this with handmade garganelli, it turned out amazing

Made this awesome simple recipe today, used Buffalo garlic to infuse into the oil. Thank you so much absolutely love your channel.

Love your channel brother. Still make your bolognese to this day! One of my favorites.

This pasta dish is the real deal. IMO this one goes toe to toe with the classic roman pasta dishes.

You're among my favorite KZfaq cooks! Yes please

Tried this. It came together in about half an hour. It is simple, cheap, and very delicious! I'm trying the short ribs next.

I love these videos and your passion for Italian food. Awesome. Never heard of this dish before can't wait to try making it .

You are doing a very good mate...thanks for delicious classic pasta recipes. Cheers 🙌

Friendly pronunciation tip. C’s are pronounced hard in Italian i.e norcina = norcheena. If its a ch then it sounds like a K i.e porchetta = porketta. Love the videos tho big fan 👍

Thank you for the inspiration - I’m making this for the family tonight!
