Cooking tomatoes in a white shirt, my anxiety levels are very high. 😂

The reason why the blender container is so difficult to open is because you blended hot ingredients which causes the air to expand and produce air pressure, making it more difficult to unscrew. I get the same problem and usually blend in short 2-3 second bursts, releasing the pressure in-between each one so that there isn't a big build up.

As a fellow italian, I love how many times Nicholas added oil once the pasta was done. Nothing wrong with that, it's just Ssoo Sicilian I love it.

The struggling with the blender 🤣🤣 . Thanks for leaving that in the video, I was laughing so much.

I liked hearing Matteo switch languages. It’s so interesting for me to listen to people who grew up multilingual. Do they speak the languages similarly or differently? And how long does it take to get the accent of the language correct? For me, it takes a while to get rid of my American accent when I switch, but I think it does go away eventually lol

So cute, the both of you 🤩👌 Small tip? The reason you don't blend hot food in that type of blender is that it creates a vapor lock in the jar, meaning that it is putting an expansive force within, forcing the lid shut and, well, locked. Just run the clear part of the jar under a running tap of cold water for a couple of minutes, and then hey presto! Magically unlocked! Auguri e baci à lei❤️

The most impressive part of this is Nicolas wearing a white shirt in the kitchen and keeping it spotless.

They look so cute together! I actually have egg plants, garlic and tomatoes growing in my garden at the moment. Perfect recipe. Thanks!

I loved this :’D I also love just hearing you both talk and it’s nice to listen to casual Italian once in a while 😂 I used to speak everyday with family, now I don’t live near them anymore and I am forgetting some! Cheers! I will make this tonight

I learned from my Nonno at a very early age that we DO NOT cut the pasta!! 😅 Love your channel, Mateo!

I'm sorry but eating edibles and watching Matteo speak Italian is my new passion

OH wow, I just made this with tomatoes and zucchini ( we had no eggplant) from our garden and it was amazing. The whole family loved it & I was told that I have to make the sauce like this all the time! Thanks soooo much for a scrumptious recipe & awesome video once again. Have a marvellous day. Cheers Donna

The sheer joy I experience seeing there's a new Matteo pasta video up 💖🍝

God damnit Matteo . Every time your cooking videos literally have me closer to eating and cooking Italian food everyday. Since watching comedy and seeing you and your cooking had really inspired me in a weird way lmao. Keep being you 😘

The nutribullet part was the best! 🤣 Thanks for doing that, so I don't make the same mistake hahaha I will definitely make this recipe. It looks easy and delicious! Thanks!!

I love the imported bit and the switches between languages. You're funny without trying

Dear Matteo, your cooking videos are an absolute pleasure to watch! Let me know when you come to Buenos Aires, Argentina and we'll cook pasta e mollica, which is pasta with bread crumbs and anchoives; my Calabrian family speciality! Big hugs.

As soon as they put the hot tomatoes in the Nutribullet, I screamed! hahahhahahaha! That dish looks AMAZING! ❤❤❤❤❤

Opening that damn blender was the cutest thing I've ever seen 😍 And Nicolas is BEAUTIFUL.

Whenever he cooks with native Italians, they get impatient with Matteos' relaxed cooking style. Vai!

LOL I think you accidentally created a vacuum with the hot sauce!

It’s 6:49 am and I’m headed to go buy all the ingredients!!!! I need to make this asap!!!!

Whoever's responsible for the choice of music for the background is doing a great job. [Plus you're amazing; funny, artistic, beautiful voice, cheffery, etc, i hate you]

Nicholas is adorable - and you’re adorable together. I’ll definitely try the recipe.

I can’t believe Nicholas making a tomato sauce in a white shirt with no apron!

I love how simple the ingredients are. Will try this out.

This looks SO MF GOOD. I appreciate that you can clock how much you and your guests LOVE FOOD and always finesse pasta just right. Plus also blenders. Nicholas is ADORBSABULL and so sweet. You better work Matteo. 😉 Thanks for another one! 🔥🍝💗✨

I actually made this pasta alla Norma, and it turned out fantastic. And this is from someone who has used jar spaghetti sauce my whole life, except for one time about 10 years ago I tried to make it … It was runny. I think yes that little bit of eggplant you put in the blender makes this dish work. Thank you so much.

You need a cooking show!!! Oh the name ideas!!!! No one not into comedy would get the double double extended though!LOVE YOUR COOKING VIDEOS & YOUR COMEDY!✌️

Hawwwwt 😍 All of it. The men, the blender, the sauce, the pasta, the camera work. 😏 I love these videos.

My heart was racing watching that Nutribullet part. It felt like a 911 emergency waiting to happen with that knife.

WOW, now that's the kind of guests we want to see more of! Ditch the bitchy NYC Frenemy (he's an annoying cleché) and show us more of this guy. Nicolas seems so kind, friendly, talented and handsome. Plus I love the dynamic of you two speaking Italian / English.

More Nicolas please!

Da italiana adoro tutti i tuoi video Matteo!!! Sei la redenzione degli italo-americani

Would you consider posting like measurements and stuff for the recipes you make? I know we can follow along with the video but sometimes I like to just have the text in front of me and go based off that because the video goes so quick. Maybe it's just me that would like this but I figured I'd ask lol And side note, the nutribullet wouldn't open because the food was so hot that it created a suction so once it cooled off you were able to open it. If you run into that again for some reason I'd just run really cold water over it for awhile to cool down the food quickly. That was a really funny situation though😂😊

"What if I want vodka sawce" I die. 😂

I love how all of Matteo's friends are smoking hot.

My new favourite comedian. AND he has a cooking show? Damn son!

i live for your vlogs, Matteo! 💕

I know what I’m making for dinner tomorrow night. You were absolutely fabulous cooks along with a fabulous comedians.

I can't stop staring at Nicholas' lashes omfg

I've made the Cotoletta several times and it's sooooo good! Another fantastic cooking extravaganza with Matteo and friends.......

Great video again sir (s).. Always love the jazzy music..

I was today years old when I learned do not use Nutri Bullet to blend hot ingredients. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Good thing I don't own one.

I actually hate eggplant but I would totally try this! I mean can you go wrong with veggies that are fried? Especially with the Eggplant pureed into the sauce! This is making my mouth water!!

Matteo, I need you to know that it's because of you that I'm learning Italian right now lol 😆

Since u guys put hot tomatoes in blender, it created a vacuum.. Its basic science 😂 matt going straight twrds hammer was hilarious 😂 😂 😂

My good friend Norma thinks she's a dish, so she will be thrilled to hear this dish exists 🥰

Nicolas was making me nervous with that knife!

An excellent instructive video. There was too much heat pressure on that kind of blender, which is why it wouldn’t open. It would have opened after letting it sit for a while. It’s better that you buy a traditional blender. Two very kind gentlemen. Good personalities.

They destroyed the bullet, but they could have just stuck it in the fridge...

Italians are so dramatic and i love it!😅

I can't imagine the bravery of cooking this dish in a beautiful white shirt.

In Palermo, where the dish was invented for the premiere of the Bellini opera, it's SPAGHETTI a la Norma, and it ALWAYS includes sheep cheese.

I typed Nick when I meant to type Chris. I must’ve been thinking of your Olive Garden compatriot. He can come on our adventure as well he makes me laugh out loud.

Bravo. Bring back Nicolas. He’s the real deal. This is, of course, a variation of Pasta alla Norma. The primary version has tomato chunks and eggplant chunks and the ricotta salata is shaved onto the pasta in larger slices. The pasta would be spaghetti.

I loved this video Matteo and I made it the next day. It was incredible. It’s going into my recipe rotation for sure. So thanks so much 😊

Yah, blending hot foods without the steam escaping is a no no. With the equipment you already have and New York City kitchen space, you'd be best served getting an immersion blender. Will change your life.

I haven't cooked in two years due to a massive stroke. Then I watched you men, now I'd die for real food.

It’s giving distant cousins who may have hooked up on the low back in the day 😂

"This is going to make great video con-"

my sister actually told me all about you Matteo!! don't worry, it was all good things!! (lol) so now I'm definitely subscribed to your channel.

As I watched it I was about to comment, "Don't put the mix while its hot in the blender!"

I've been learning Italian for three year now. Mi piace quando tu parli Italiano,Mateo. You should consider videos in Italian from traveling to comedy, non lo so 🙏🏼

I really appreciate this recipe. Please make more without dairy. 🙏 😊

Every nutribullet owner screamed watching them put hot tomatoes in the jar 😅.

Love you Mateo you always make me so happy ❤ thank you

Matteo! Let’s show them how to make a caponata! Or I can show you swordfish with eggplant and cherry tomatoes like he said! Huge favorite in my house, growing up and now! I’m right in Hoboken, let me know! 👍🏼👍🏼

Nicolas is so freakin 🔥

Matteo sounds equal parts vaguely high and vaguely gay and I'm here for it

Honestly alla Norma is one of the best tasting and simplest sauces IMO. Always reminds me of the first time I tried it in Bar Turisi in Taormina with the *ahem* interesting decor 🤣

Next time try running cold water over the lid for a minute or so, the heat probably made it swell. Love your cooking vids. Keep up the great work.

The Italian and for this matter Sicilian food is amazing, absolutely love arancini. However, I don´t get how your favourite time to go to Sicily is June and July... OK, I´m from Czechia living in Berlin, so my boiling-point is way lower than yours, but last year while visiting Catania beginnig of June even the locals admited that 45°C is a bit too much. 😅

At 11:13 you can see the pasta is good because they are literally fighting for it.

Smeg has a set that includes a blender, processor and mixer attachments and it doesn't take up too much space, deal for apartment cooking and pasta sauces :) Keep it up, the cooking show is amazing :) 😍🤔😃

Looks delicious! Oh yeah, the pasta looks good too.

Great episode. Especially the anxiety when the lid wouldn't open

Never heard about blending some of the aubergine into the sauce. Will definitely try. Looks great 👌

Yaaaay, another cooking video !!

love your videos!!

Careful with the nutribullet and hot liquids. Doing that usually causes high pressure on the lid and makes the top explode and all the hot liquid all over you . Severe burns and flying blades. An immersion blender probably better. Looks delizioso though.

LOL! Y’all need a Braun multi quick immersion blender and I need to make this! Thank you for another fun video ❤

Can you please make melanzana parmiggiana sometime? Its my favorite dish :)

I like that at 2:27 the subtitle spelled Usually how an Italian with an accent would say it in English.

Nicholas has the most beautiful and expressive eyes!!

Love for Sicily!! My family is from Calabria and Sardinia 🇮🇹

Omg Matteo get a bigger chopping board! LOL

Excellent video! Can’t wait to try this. I’d love to see Matteo’s take on lasagna or pasta e fagioli (sp?)

Those are the nicest tomatoes I've ever seen. And this isn't even innuendo!

Nothing tastes better than fried eggplants 🤤

Another great episode! Keep goin' through these primi piatti, Matteo. Would love to see Pasta ca'Muddica Atturrata (sicilia), Puttanesca (campania), and some Gnocchi with Gorgonzola sauce (lombardia).

Wish I didn't hate eggplant so much.. but I do love these videos!

Just made this tonight .. super easy and delicious.

The NutriBullet thing - rubber gloves. The friction from the rubber will help you open anything.

You two look like brothers.

Just binged ‘Inspector Ricciardi’ and felt like I was listening you, Matteo! (Btw, Lino Guancialle is gorge!)

Oh my god, the blender situation had me stressing! I've had the same experience and there were knives involved.

I follow you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 We are from Siracusa🇮🇹

I use a piece of mesh rubber shelf liner to grip things to open. It works amazingly well!

Good thing the cook brought proper olive oil
