@Shawn Giver Italians use unsmoked bacon! She claims to be the Italian cooking expert!
Sorry are you deaf? She couldn’t find anything else other than bacon in time for the video.
Did you even listen to what she said -_-
I also have Italian blood we’re both Italian my mom side of the family is Italian but she’s not full Italian my deceased grandpa was the Italian one and is also Irish so my great grandpa came from Sicily and my great Grandmother came from Ireland
bravissima
Amazing how looks the pasta! Like it! 🦇
Ma che diavolo è ‘sta cosa? Sarà forse buona, ma di sicuro non è una Gricia… None uses linguine: none!
Very yummy 😋
👍👍👍🤗💜🍟🍟
Giada always looks to skinny. Get some meat on those bones, girl! ^-^
But the pasta looks amazing. I love pasta, and pasta loves me right back. Right around the waistline! ^-^
Incestuous pasta! So deliciously naughty! LOL! I just had to laugh when Giada just casually mentioned that they are all related and come from each other, which is undoubtedly true. Just made my brain take that in a weird direction.
