I watched this two weeks ago and have made "Matteo Lane's mom's pasta" at my boyfriend's request about six times.

He's a comedian, chef, AND a gamer

this kinda seems like those budget meals your parents make when you're little bc y'all don't have a lot and it becomes one of your most favorite things in the world. I LOVE my mom's red beans and rice and if she makes me rice cereal the next day with the leftover rice, I'm in heaven. I had no idea those were "poor foods" until I was in my teens lmaoooo.

Instead of saying "let me cook dinner" I'm going to start saying "let me put this shit together".

Made this tonight for my husband and brother for dinner, we all LOVED it!!! Next time I will make a double batch.

I am also a Mexican mom to a 20 year old now. You brought me back to when I was not being paid by the University I was working for and I had to be creative, cooking "international dishes" for my son (5-year old back then) and I cooked pastas and tapas and pinxos... hahahahaa. He was so happy, lighting candles and sitting all cute at the table, waiting for my newst creation (chef on a budget). Thank you for that, Matteo.

Started watching your videos a few weeks ago and I can’t get enough of you and your humour, you’re a diamond Matteo 💎 loving these cooking videos too! You should do one with Bob!!

The amount of times I’ve made this is insane! It’s so simple quick and easy. Always a favorite

We all know that Matteo is the real dish here y'all 💅

This was easy and delicious. My husband, who NEVER voluntarily compliments my cooking, said, “this is really good.” And I think it lends itself to endless variations by adding veggies, or proteins or something as simple as pesto. It’s going on the regular rotation! BTW when Matteo says butter, eggs and cheese need to be room temperature, he’s not kidding! 😊

I learned yesterday, while reading one of my father-in-laws recipes…he has been cooking his pasta noodles for his mac n cheese in the microwave. For 14 years. For 14 years I’ve been eating non-rued…raw assed flour…unsalted water…microwave noodles. It all made sense yesterday. Also, this looks delish. Bellissimo.

Every time I watch you, I feel like I’m home. I’m from Naples but grew up in Boston when my family came here in the late 80’s. Everything you say makes me feel at home. Thank you!

I was able to make this in less than 15 minutes. And my 12 year old has decided that it is the best thing I have ever made. I do not make pasta often. But this will become one of my go to weeknight meals. Thank you.

Global heating is no joke. I'm baking in 90 degree heat in London as I watch this. Btw, can't wait for the book Matteo Makes Macaroni because I'm buying!

This looks so good! I love carbonara but sometimes I don't feel like dealing with pancetta or looking for guanciale. I'll be making this soon.

Sound delicious. Two video series you might like are Pasta Grannies and Pasta Grammar. The first one visits grandmothers in different parts of Italy and shows them making pasta. The second one is an American husband and an Italian wife talking about Italian cuisine and making various Italian dishes

"Why am I acting like it's not going to taste good?" is me everyday when I add 'too much' cheese to food.

Matteo Lane... a true gay. Who is great at everything and we all hate him for it. You're the best, Matteo!

Made this for dinner! I used 3/4 of the spaghetti noodles in the package. I used 1 1/2 cups of freshly grated parm from Costco, and the milk was about a 1/4 cup. Maybe slightly less. Loved it!! So easy. Thanks for sharing Matteo!

Ahahah, I love when Matteo makes the disclaimers for Italian viewers. I'm one of them but I don't care, Matteo can do whatever he wants. ❤

this pasta has exactly the most authentic italian spirit: kids hungry, not much time (or money) to go grocery shopping, let's open the fridge and create a masterpiece :D Thanks Matteo, Sicily send lots of love your way!

Your shorts came across my feed maybe last week bro and I laughed every single time. And that joke about women’s screening process for men took me tf out😂 keep doin yo thang bro. You make being a comedian look easy

he mentioned how his parents were French, Irish, & Mexican but didn’t hear where the Italian comes in yet somehow Matteo came out as the third Mario brother 😂

Made this for breakfast today, don’t judge, delish and there is a little leftover, yummy cheesy pasta

Not him going back for ONE MORE strand of spaghetti

Born and raised in Emilia Romagna, I love cooking. Trust me... this pasta dish is legit! I am sure it tastes delicious! Don't even pay attention to the lame "proud Italian" comments. A lot of Parmigiano cheese and pepper make every dish taste great, but you also need to know how to get the lovely creamy texture by only using pasta heat or just a bit of pasta water, so... well done, Matteo! Hey, btw, thanks for the great comedy! You truly make me laugh!

Matteo....; congratulations, that looks delicious and with a family warm memories. Love the family stories you share with us. Thank you so much for that.

Stand up comedy and can handle himself in the kitchen? What a stud

This looks delicious. I think I'll surprise my siblings this weekend with this dish. [A step up from my "boil noodles, add butter, salt, pepper, shaker cheese, & eat"]

I feel like your voice would be perfect as an antagonist for Matthew in Big Mouth...

Tried this last night, it was delicious! I also threw in some herbs and some greens on top so I could clean out my fridge. Definitely going to make this again

"Making Pasta Dishes with Matteo" has a ring to it. * You definitely need a holder for eggs when you are cooking with them as well as a paper towel holder.

I love this so much. We just moved here from Arizona and this is our first summer in NY and the heat just hits different here. Your comments on the heat is so relatable 😂

Can’t stop watching your videos 😄😄 Got drawn in by the epic Freddie Mercury look, but you’re also hilarious!

Back in the day (early 90s when I was una bambina) when my family lived back east in PA my mom and I would watch The Waltons & Little House on the Prairie and then she’d make bread, like home made bread! 🍞🧈🍓And we’d have it with butter and strawberry jam, omg I loved it! As a millennial growing up in the 90s we didn’t have online anything. Doing activities was amazing. We’d also cook & bake a lot more and do crafts, like from the craft store☺️

I just started watching your videos yesterday. I love how you put fun into everything. Thanks for just being you. Much Love ❤

I used to make a "poor lady" pasta dish for my girls when they were growing up and it is still their favorite meal! It was so simple and cheap! This recipe looks delicious and I can't wait to try it. Thanks, Matteo!

Made this last night and it was great! I was a bit weary with how much butter it contained but it was just so creamy and cheesy. Loved every bit

"Look at the dough rise" oeh that was me as a kid 😂

so it´s cooking mom´s spaghetti while your palms are sweaty

Loving the Marianne from Gilligan's Island action going on with those jeans and string belt! Oh and the pasta is wonderful.

I love that you shared this cause I already had all of the ingredients in my house. So good! And it was a hit for my kids so a HUGE win!!

Thank for all these ideas for cooking pasta. At the same time you are sharing your culture. Thank you again.

Someone does a great job with the incidental music. Love these videos.

I love watching these videos while I'm diving into my own American Bastard Pasta dish

I'm the furthest thing from a fashionista, but am I missing something with the shoe string belt? He's done it a few times. Love your content, your Italy trips and your stand up specials!!! You're hysterical 🥰😂

I just made this and my son and I both agree this is going to be a regular meal for us! It takes me back to my childhood, a very very very big upgrade but it’s similar to a certain Angel hair pasta boxed dish my brother and I loved as kids. Trash, I know. I can’t wait to make this for him and show him how much better the homemade version is!! ❤

A mamma here! Thank you for this recipe, i have made it several times for my son and me and he loves it, too. Such a great comfort food!! Delicious!

This was delicious! It will definitely be in rotation for a quick pantry meal now

3:56 Nothing more Italian than adjusting the quantity of pasta _by three._

It seems like your mom was making a version of pasta cacio e uova. It often call for lard but lots of recipes use butter. The only real difference is most recipes call for slightly more eggs and for whole garlic sautéed in oil then removed.

this is gonna show up on the menu of olive garden

In episode of Castle, he made Pasta Mama, so I wanted to try it, never had it before. So I searched for some videos on making it, but there are none, which brought me to your video. It sounds absolultely delicious. I will have to make this. Thank you for sharing!!

I just made this for dinner after watching this. I love it and my kids love it.

Made this for lunch today and was so pleasantly surprised by how amazing it was for such an easy and simple dish. So good!

...its that simple home made dishes that make lifes worth it thx 4 sharing your mamas reciept

We appreciate you and the effort you put in! I'm really excited to try and make this!

Loved you singing “Thank you for being a friend” ❤ Golden girls is the best! This dish looks yummy thanks for sharing!

This is my first time watching your recipe video, and I think my brain can't handle the comedy mixed in with the cooking, because it's been like 30 seconds and all my brain can think of is "He's still holding that fettucini... why has he not put it in the pot yet?! I'm trying to learn here!"

Missed opportunity to call it mom's spaghetti.

All it takes for this to become a classic dish is for everyone to start making it and talking about it. I know for sure I'm gonna be whipping this up.

i've been binging you for over an hour now-watched all tha shorts and moved on to longer content...love you man and cant wait til 2morrow comes so i can make this!!

My parents owned two pizzerias in Brazil, and i grew up in the kitchen. I still love watching dough rise. It's so much fun and easy to make homemade pizza 🍕 😋

The air conditioner impersonation!

I made this for Nick and he said “WOW” I ☠️😂😂🤣

I'm excited to watch you grow your pasta empire

Love your trendy “belt” 🤣

Hey Discovery Plus, please give him a show!!! ❤️ you’re the best Matteo!

Love when I hear Chris giggle, I wouldn’t be able to keep still. Well done 😅

Butter, egg, cheese, pasta. It's hard to go wrong.

When I was a kid we had Oil Macaroni...I wasn't a huge fan but my grandma and great aunt and most of the family were all about it. Not sure if it came from their part of Italy or if it was a personal concoction. Basically diced green bell pepper and garlic in olive oil and toss it in with some spaghetti. 🤷 I think ingredients and recipes are specific to location-and why they are debated so loudly and passionately by all Italians-we lived in Wyoming. Perhaps the freshest veggies on average were bell peppers so they used what they had? Idk. Thanks for another one, quip master general. 😉👌💗

I wonder how many times Matteo says “it’s so hot” in this video 😂

Okay I made this tonight. This is high end Kraft Dinner (Canadians know what Im talking about) super tasty, not yellow and full of chemicals. Delish!

The jeans with the rope belt are a look. Slay.

made this for dinner tonight. so easy and absolutely delicious. i was expecting to have leftovers but i ended up eating it all at once!

The hashtags though ☠️ I love it

as a gay guy you're honestly my role model

I don’t know if you intended to be a cooking KZfaqr but you’re my favorite.

I love this guy...he make me laugh!! Matteo you are #1 in my books!!

I feel your pain, I too live on a top floor apartment with no ac! 🥵. So hard getting motivated to want to cook on super hot days. This recipe looks delish btw🥰 I’m trying this asap! Thank you for sharing it with us. P.S you are amazing and super hilarious and absolutely love you, but not in a creepy way lmao!

love this!!!

Ooooooohhhhhhhh yeah I remember the end of the month growing up making this.

the tags for this video being "gay" and "pasta" (essentially calling this a "gay pasta") is everything

I just tried it and it was DELICIOUS! thanks a mil 🌟

This is a million times better than Mac and cheese but takes the same amount of time.

That’s about how I make Alfredo, excellent with heavy cream of course. And I add seasoning that most people might not include-dash of cayenne, sometimes Herbes de Provence.

GURRRRRRLLLL! That much Reggiano would cost me a mortgage payment!!! That is one EXPENSIVE comfort dish! I am, however, going to try it.

I am definitely making this. At 70, I now love quick. Wish I had this recipe when I was raising my kids! Can I use whole milk? My husband doesn’t buy anything else! Ciao ❤️🌹

"Today we're going to be making somethig that has contributed NOTHING to my amazing body."

The way you talk about food is the way my Mamow talked about it.!

Cacio e Pepe would be an amazing name for a dog.

i love that this is tagged #gay #pasta

Omg so good!!! I made it tonight and it was heavenly

Toasted breadcrumbs are a good addition to this.

"im not usually this hot" mate i cannot believe that you don't usually look this hot

Matteo Lane...my new favorite everything. Also damn I am hungry😊

Looks delicious!!! Will be trying this in the very near future!

Cling film belt, he's a real one.😎

The Italian grandma video was hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

He’s so adorable, why is he still single 🥰🥰
