Giada De Laurentiis And Bobby Flay Discuss ‘Bobby And Giada In Italy’ | TODAY All Day

We've got a brand new series we want to bring you it's called bake me happy and healthy and kick things off come on our favorite. Yeah, I read to OK and when she's not cooking she's enjoying the good life in her new series called Bobby and Giada in Italy we wish we could. Discovery plus where the 2 of them follow we on and eating and drinking and cooking a Strava gone OK boondoggle job. I mean I'm sorry what are you about what the heck is this about I'm going to say is I'm so grateful that we had this trip since now I've gotten nowhere for a year just like everybody else and I don't know what I get to Italy again so thank goodness. I had this trip to tell us about this trip. He Bobby's a good friend of yours talk about what y'all saw oh my God here comes your cat. You know, I you know what it is the minute she sees food or smells food, it. So I try to keep her off the set, but it makes it very difficult to get your cat like pasta is it like Garfield. Well, the thing is she likes cheese and this cheese and that's right so she smells that she's now she's telling the camera. And she's just you know anyway, so we had a blast, yes, I've been friends for I don't know maybe over 15 years and you know, he's a huge fan of Italy huge and I think that's where our friendship sort of connected and he was just like we really need to do a trip together in Italy and shoot it and I said you just want a free vacation is that what's happening here. I think you know what I just really think of the great for people to see the 2 different perspectives I was obviously born there my mother was there and I and he's someone new to to Italy and I think that the the way that we both see the country, the people, the food would be make a great show and lo and behold we did it now you all when you have someone when you travel. You know the real them so it's Bobby. What is he really like you know. I will I'm not going to lie and tell you I didn't have my trepidations about it. I did but we actually had a blast now I will say we took you know we also spent some time separated because he would go to a flour mill and he would do things on his own I would go learn. You know how to make fresh the cost and do my own thing so we did spend days where we were separate. Thank goodness, any relationship, it's good to have some breaks from each other. Okay, yeah, you're making something that I think we all are going to want to create this is some pasta with roasted vegetables. Yeah, so you guys have a big week right so I thought I would do my big hit me with a roasted vegetables, so it's slightly healthier because it's all that you there's no need since it's January, but it's also super decadent and that so what I did it here is I just chopped up some veggies carrots, I'm sorry not care. Squash red bell peppers and onion and mushrooms and you sort of just chop them up together put them on the baking sheet and I put a little bit of herb de Provence over the top and up to Provence is really just a dry or mix. They say it's French because of the runs but really can be Italian it can be anything and different stores so different mixtures, but basically time rosemary lavender sometimes fennel things like that salt and I just kind of talk it all together I already did the olive oil, I just put some olive oil over the top and we pop in a 450 degree oven for about 15 minutes. And we're going to do that and throw it in the oven right now since we have time. And then we have they pop out like you feel like kids would even like that. Yeah, because they're super flavorful and you know you could just you can just pick whatever vegetables, your kids like for instance, my daughter's not a big mushroom thing right so I would probably leave the muscles out at broccoli or cauliflower anything that they might be really it doesn't matter right then you pre cook your pasta so I've already cooked my pin and I kind of undercooked them a little bit of a little bit of a fight that they're going to continue to cook in the oven now for another 25 minutes, this has been a debate here. She doesn't like crunching on my pasta to her we have we have to do it that way right. I love it well then take nobody likes it like that. So if you put this all the way you're going to be. It's going to be so I mean if you like it. Yeah, it should be all that did the idea is that this the past that regularly and just a regular path that finishes to cook in whatever sauce, it is that the whole idea all right to make sense and yet and then what and you can make your own thoughts if you have time and if you don't you can use jar, whatever your favorite chart thought that then I take all that I don't want to hear. And the great thing about this guy that you can prep all of this in advance, I like to put the paper on that this is not helpful. Yeah, the cat will clean everything and I have that there's 2 dogs here too so they can clean it perfect. He and then here we go with the chief. Yeah. Lots of cheese, you guys know if I'm Tina it's a nice soft cheese, it's from the north of Italy. It's got a nice sort of mellow it got more for the month that and that but it's definitely not as pungent as a career, one of those that you could substitute with those out that a little bit of smoke about that and that a little bit. We like to say more to have a job. Yeah, I guess we are kind of run out of time. Do you bake it. You bake it for 25 minutes at 450 degrees would you like to see what it looks like please. In the meantime, I just want to say that 2 episodes are in Rome of this show and 2 episodes are in Tuscany oh my God, I got to tell you yeah, it was I can't I can't figure out which one was my favorite, but I think Tuscany may have beat it out only because I haven't spent much time there and it was just while drinking wine in a vineyard. Yeah, honestly next time you do a show like this can you invite. Yeah, Bobby this show got made because of Bob. I would have been there either. And dispensable it's a body's got to come. Awesome, it's good seeing you again honey, we'll see you soon. For that guy. For this recipe go to today dot com slash. And that's the way to really learn about the country is to immerse yourself in the culture and that's just what our pal Bobby Flay did when he spent 6 weeks and Italy and lucky Bobby, you know, it's tour guide was job job in the Laurentiis who was born in Rome and you too can go along for the adventure. They have a new show it's called Bobby and jotted Italy, yeah, and you can find it on discovery plus chow by the how are you how are you guys doing so. So happy to talk to you today. Yeah, John I have that time. One last year and we spent about a month there and you know, luckily, you know because we're we're we're part of this the discovery family. They wanted to to help watch discovery plus with with the show that we spent. We did we did 4 episodes. 2 in Rome and 2 in Tuscany wanted to do you 2 in the city to the country that is it. I know place like it, I'm just so upset that it will be out middle of a restaurant. As he's in Las Vegas and they call it out about the about those. Oh that's a way you and John are very close so what did you learn about her. And we'll tell you what you learned about you because we had her on last week and we we asked, but what did you learn about her that you didn't know. Well the thing that I love about John in Italy is that she had she's so much more relaxed when she's in her in her hometown, especially in a place like she grew up. And I don't know if you've ever met her mother, but my favorite people in the world. It's like it's like you got out of steroids and so I just I love I love the I love it because he's just so relaxed, we've always got to know smile here and you you know she's she's going to make you said she's an amazing tour guide, you know giving me all the place like well is a great because I love the place so much. Well, she said you are messy. She said it was good that you guys are on opposite opposite cities most of the time that it was great. This dish, I know you're obsessed with it and I just read about it this morning and I decided I'm going to make it for football on Sunday, tell us what you're cooking. I think that's really perfect. And let's face it anything that you know she's yeah, we can get something to me it's like it's the greatest. So this is so simple so that they can kind of dish, it's a car she's some fun team, she's with you a little bit not and that's a and that's pretty cheap if you want to which is likely to be or you can definitely use the American South she's as well and what you do is you mix those 3 ingredients in a bowl and then I put it in a little as well which is like a person where there's some you can put it in the up to the table which is really cheap. And that's a part of the job, you know right, yeah, it's great some part of the job on top. And then some breadcrumbs just for a little bit of crush on there as well and then we just put it out for like 6 or 7 minutes. It really takes no time at all and then as soon as it comes out serve it it from in the same container right to the table and what I like to do is give it a little brightness is just going to be a little bit of what is that and there's a fresher that's a fresher even a year and then you start with like a toast and bread or chips, you know obviously generally the game, you know any kind of work that he did but I you know just be sort of the it's high sensibility at a little close to you know, we'll tell you the perfect, it's so simple just a few really looks yummy, I've seen it with some tomato sauce to have you ever seen it that way. Yeah, I I what I do is I think like almost like a vinaigrette with sun-dried tomatoes so it's not right to me to get a blended with a little bit of you know you get that like that sweet acidity and just kind of like this up the creaminess of the car. She's all right in case and I'm all in you know what Sunday it's a day all right, Bobby good to see you honey.
