That's lovely.
Pasta's nearly ready.
Hi lovely people
I feel a little bit emotional because over 10 years ago, with Antonio, in exactly this
same spot where I am now, I was cooking this side and Antonio was on the other side
waiting for me to feed him. Right at the end. He was asleep. In a way I feel as if
Antonio is here, when actually we got down this morning I was a little bit - not trembly -
I'm still feeling it. Don't forget we spent 35 years together, you know, going all over
the place, all over the world, and one dish he always loved me to make for him
was lemon tagliatelle. Why? Because I come from the Amalfi Coast and he was
born in the Amalfi Coast and moved up to the north of Italy. This is such a simple
recipe. You can make it at home. Easy to make. No hard work at all. Let me cook first.
I feel like he saying "Hurry up! I'm hungry."
You need a pan, you need about half a garlic. This is
a very large one. I always say cut it quite big, I slice it quite big, the
reason why is because you can always remove the garlic. Break the chilli away from
your eyes. Smell it. If it's strong if means it's got a kick but
also it will be tasty. Then I probably use about a quarter. This is it!
There's hardly anything at all! All right? Yeah.
Then get a little bit of parsley, roughly chop.
You start with some olive oil first.
Nice bit of olive oil. Then you add the garlic and chilli. Let it sweat a little bit,
don't actually burn - sweat is when somebody's jogging - you sweat, burning is when you
sit in Italy in the summer under the the sun and you become like a pepperoni.
The oil is getting a lovely flavour with the garlic. The pasta, which is ready, look at that! Stir it.
Just a little bit more.
Put it back. Little season, a little bit of a pasta water, stir it nicely. This is when
the butter goes in. Nice knob of butter straight inside. Let it melt, the butter,
that will give it that creamy. Okay I'm gonna put the lemon inside now. So simple, so
easy. Just get the lemon - this is too big - nice one for Antonia. So I like that!
Just a squeeze, little bit of lemon inside, not much. Parsley. Little grating of
parmesan. If you have pecorino please do.
Get some tongs. Give it another stir. Oh my gosh! Oh my my!
Just a touch more pasta water. If I don't do that, he will complain.
It's done! Nice plate. Look at the creaminess.
Butter, lemons, perfect.
Nothing to it. Quite easy. Zest of lemon
A little parmesan. Oh my god.
Let's eat it now.
I hope you like it.
Hi big boy. Sorry, I'm back. Put your blanket on you.
Memories, memories, memories.
Come on, this is good! Yeah. Don't be sad. I'm not. I'm not sad.
People might believe that I make it up, I don't because this is real. I don't care
if you don't believe it or not. Sorry I didn't mean say that, but come on I'm happy! Yeah!
Oh my god. Oh my god.
You like it, yeah?
Arrivederci. Thank you. Thank you Antonio as well.
