Alison Makes Lemon Pepper Pasta in Her New Kitchen | Home Movies with Alison Roman
Home Movies is BACK, and we’re so glad to be here. After three gorgeous years of “Season 1,” it’s time for SEASON 2. New kitchen, new vibe, because evolution is necessary and we love growth. There is a new groove to be found, and we are so grateful for you sticking around on this journey.
Anyway, the recipe today is a Lemon Pepper Pasta with Browned Butter. Part cacio e pepe, part pasta al limone, all pantry pasta. Sure, most pastas I make are pantry pastas, but this silky, luxurious, lemony number is the ultimate “I can’t believe this came from only that” recipe-my favorite way to cook. You’ve probably already got the basics on-hand: butter, red pepper flakes, black pepper, lemon zest, and cheese. Once you add perfectly al dente pasta (this is key!) and coax everything to meld in the pan with a little tossing, it gets saucy and glossy, two of the finest things in life. Because this is a complete meal, there is, of course a little side of blanched broccoli and peas tossed with garlic and lemon. Kind of a salad, if you think about it?

The vibe is more serious than I expected. The editing is so different. Thank you David + Team, you will be missed.
She‘s a Stepford wife now.
Yah, these videos were such a fun exploration of food. I'm missing the funny. It was the best I've seen and I watch a TON of cooking videos. Hope this evolves with the funny that made it so good.
so stiff :( I miss the playfulness
@@colettearmstrong1484 the thing is shes still kinda sassy and funny but without the editing it just doesnt feel the same, its kinda empty.
Good it wasn’t just me 🤭 and yes they Will be missed
Everybody: "I don't like change!" Video is nice and warm and good.
I don't know, but something is missing. I LOVE Alison; i would watch her videos for things i would never make, but this is feeling like every other cooking show. Ever.
Gosh, I love your cooking and SO pleased you are back!!! But part of the charm of Home Movies was the back and forth with David and Dan, it gave such energy, I’m sure the new crew are amazingly talented but it was that element that gave it life. Also had such a great vibe knowing it was also in a similar smallish city kitchen, made the recipes more attainable and relatable in an indescribable way somehow. The new kitchen is gorgeous and I’m enjoying the 90’s feels but dare I say it it feels like it’s been done before? Home Movies was so fresh and vibrant and new. Will of course always watch and support (especially any and all pasta dishes obv) can’t wait to see the rest of the series but just a two cents.
Could not agree more. Happy to support growth but this seems a copy of hundreds of cooking videos instead of the wonderfully unique and funny viewpoint it has been up til now.
I know what you mean and I did enjoy the back and forth. I do think that it took time to build that rapport, and that it is Alison’s natural personality that brings that out in people, so I am confident that as this new team gains experience working together it be just as delightful. She is really doing a wonderful job despite the major changes that she has experienced, which I suspect has given her a limited set of choices in the production of her show. Whatever the case may be, I am excited to watch the coming videos and I am grateful that she has put in the effort to make something beautiful for us to watch and learn from.
@@Jess.-. definitely agree!
@@Jess.-. "the major changes that she has experienced, which I suspect has given her a limited set of choices in the production of her show. " Huh? Enlighten us, because I don't know of any reason she can't do anything she wants with HER show.
@@soehren1 Then don’t watch. Jeeez.
Change is often good for my creative soul, and I know that it's a process. I'll stick around to see where this goes. Missing the fun in this first one.
We will miss you David and Dan
😶😶
Would have loved an update on their leaving since they were integral to the show... in this video, in the newsletter? Maybe I missed it?...
@@Meggs23 It was mentioned briefly in the newsletter.
Yeah really. No goodbye video. I’ll miss their banter.
@@soehren1 Good lord, it's a free cooking show. And Teigen is even a bigger troll now that she was before and Kondo admitted to having a crazy messy house with 3 kids. It's called life.
More Bad Girls Club energy required stat
Right?? I'm like where did her silliness go? :(
@@Zenaitha I need me some Hot Dan as well
Awww man! I was hoping you'd bring back David and Dan, but I appreciate the need to grow and shift. It's a little serious and stiff without them. 😢 RIP 🪦 Happy for you and will stick around to see where it goes. Change is hard. Forgive us die-hards!
I feel like this is Alison’s legacy videos now and I don’t mean that like what we now her from, I mean this production style is more for longevity and timeless. She’s weaving in shots in her store filming more of this new space and the context of Bloomsville… all a bit more rounded in terms of her brand. I’ll miss the old style, I will never stop re watching them and I love all the in-jokes. Thanks David and the team that brought Home Movies to life in the first place with Alison. You guys are a solid part of our lives. Good luck in your next steps 🫶🏽
Awe…I feel like I lost my friends 😞 Sorry but the old format or approach was why I would watch Home Movies. They were always naturally funny. This is too serious! But…still love you Allison and so happy that you have a nice kitchen and cooking area! Maybe you could let your beautiful personality out just a bit more? ♥️♥️♥️
So glad Home Movies is back but I did find myself feeling like something was missing and I realized its because David and Dan aren't here to banter with Alison and I agree with the others in the comments who say Alison seems much more serious without the boys. LOVE the new kitchen and gosh I wish I could shop in your shop, it's so adorable. And I do know Alison got married so I'm sure she's moved out of the city and into a beautiful home with her hubby and David and Dan aren't moving in with them lol but they will be missed! Maybe they came make a cameo at some point later in the season? ♥
Is it that far from NY to Bloomfield? I'm from Australia so not sure of distances.
@@pipmercer3803 its in the same state I believe not sure which city of Bloomfield exactly she moved to there's multiple Bloomfield's on the East Coast of the US but its definitely not just a short drive.
I really enjoyed season one. I would go back and rewatch many of the episodes, and love them every time. They were so much fun. But this put me to sleep. I could not for the life of me pay attention. I can understand wanting to up your game, but where you were unique and individual, and personable and relatable, you are now like every other TV cook I've seen a million times. I am disappointed.
On a scale of 1-10, how thrilled are you that Home Movies is back?
10! 😁
11
1,000,000
100000000000000
10 Mama 10 lol ❤❤❤❤
Great to have you back, but I do miss a little bit of back and forth with the team!
“Is that fun and playful. Do we like that?” Dying 😂
made me laugh, too cute
I love the Nancy Meyers/Barefoot Contessa vibes of this new season of Home Movies ❤
Where are the guys with the comments? Not sure I like this new corporate vibe!
Was not prepared for the different vibes, I miss the relatable vibes in season 1
i really miss the funny animations and awkward jokes. Ham party has to be one of my most quoted videos ever.
I grew up outside Rochester NY, and now I live in the tropics. Looking our her window, and seeing the snow and the trees...really makes me feel nostalgic..and missing that area of the world. I really like the new vibe of your show..and of course, the simple, yet great recipes.
Love watching you cook. I've learned a lot watching you. You're a good teacher. I'm eighty one years old, still learning.❤
I’m already excited for Thanksgiving
I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING!!!!!
Yes you’re back. But where are the guys and the great clips? Lol
Oh happy day!!! So thrilled you are back Alison!. And what a beautiful new kitchen and home. Congrats on the new season and also on the new shop. Our girl has definitely kept herself busy. Can't wait to watch every new home movies videos. Thank you also to your home movies crew for always providing for us top-notch production value videos to enjoy. It's always been a highlight of my week to watch them.
It’s giving Alison’s Nancy Meyer’s Kitchen era. There’s a fireplace, you’re cooking with butter…honestly I’m a little disoriented but I’m here for it 🫶🏼
YES. Meryl Streep should show up in a blousy top and pour some wine into some sexy stemware. It’s a total vibe.
Lemons on the first episode! Somethings never change.. 🍋🍋🍋
this informative, refined and jazzy vibe is soooo nice. a perfect season two opener. so, so glad you're back, alison! looking forward to the further evolution of home movies (and to making this pasta soon!)
So proud of the progression on the show. The setting is beautiful and comfortable. Most importantly the love for what you do still shows up. ❤
feel like it would take a while to get used to this. i miss the chaos and the fun which made the past seasons feel genuine and different from other cooking shows
Congratulations, Allison on the new shop, new home, newish show. You were a godsend on KZhead during the pandemic. Looking forward to the new season. I know you must have thick skin, but dear lord dont listen to any of these negative comments. Grow! Change! Its lovely.
Since Alison and Claire Saffitz are both in the Hudson Valley area, i think we need a crossover between these two amazing chefs.
That would be cool. Also, people seem to forget that Allison has a right to move out of New York City and change the setup. David and Dan probably would have loved to work with her, but they want to stay in NYC. I live in Virginia, but would love to visit first bloom. But with Gas prices I’ll just have to watch.
Exactly! I moved from Hudson valley to Virginia a year ago and would have loved to have been able to visit the store but, unfortunately, it wasn't even opened then.
Yes! Would love to see them together! 🦋🌙🩷
I've thought of this before and for some reason I have a feeling they would clash idk why. Both are amazing though.
Claire managed to hold on to her charming video crew, Cal & Vinnie. Her videos just get better and better. I will miss Dan & David.
Love the cozy new set up and getting a glimpse of the new store! These videos are always a highlight of my week - so glad you're back.
I heard "a world of pasta-bilities" and I can't stop thinking about it and how it may be the greatest phrase ever.
I love your recipes. They ALWAYS work and that is rare these days! The reason for tbis note is to tell you how excited I was to see all of the Rancho Gordo beens on the shelves. I can't find them in stores here in Nashville, but I've been ordering them for many years through the mail. They are one of this country's great artisanal products, and the more people that know about them the better. Keep up the wonderful videos!!!
The food looks great, but this unfortunately looks like every other cooking video that I scroll right past. It's missing all of the charm.
Man I’m getting 80s/90s Martha Stewart/Barefoot Contessa with a hint of Rachel Ray vibes from the new format. I love it. Thankyou😊😊😊😊❤
Lol this comment lives up to the username 💀
I love this so much. Love the vibe and whatever Alison is making. Cheers.
What a gorgeous kitchen!! I'm happy for you, you deserve it 🥰
Love the Lemon Pepper Pasta recipe. At first tried making it with ghee (healthier). But no, did not work for a lot of reasons. Quickly switched to the six tablespoons of butter, found a long fusilli, followed Alison's directions to a "T," and boy was that yummy. Accompanied this with an Eric Ripert salad with baby arugula, thin-sliced fennel, and marinated artichoke hearts -- this recipe appeared in the WSJ. Great meal thanks to two great chefs.
I've prayed for times like these!!
I agree, and I think Alison was also ready for the change.
So happy to see more Home Movies! Always inspires me to get cooking!
Best 30th birthday gift. Alison Roman is back and is in solidarity with how much better ice water is!
So excited for season 2! Btw I appreciate how you take the time to explain why you do things while you're doing them. It gives context and helps me build my own recipes or improves the ones I already know. ❤️
Looks like everything is blooming in Bloomville! Glad you are back and thanks for another great pasta dish!!
Good job, Allison. Happy you’re back in ANY kitchen! ❤
Cannot tell you how happy I am to be watching you cook again! x
Love this! I too miss David and Dan and their comments and the casual vibe of it all, but change is change. It'll evolve into its own new thing ~ and the space, I mean. Pay no attention to the nay-sayers! It's gorgeous and genuine and accessible. So glad you are back! (ps, whoever you are: it's not that they are men and Alison is not great without men. They were PEOPLE who added a great vibe. Obviously Alison is the ride or die.)
A beyond 10! Glad you’re back! And love the new space. 🎉
I'm with you for the growth and change. Loved the first Season 2 episode and will make the pasta and broccoli this weekend! Congrats, Alison!
You look happy, Mrs. Roman, and that's wonderful, as is living in a beautiful new home (congratulations), but I'm missing the playful relaxed atmosphere of your previous videos, that distinguished you from the rest. Will keep on viewing to see how it progresses
Love the new vibe honestly!!
This wood-burning stove in the background pushes the coziness of the video to the top 😚
I know it's only the first video, so we all have to get used to the changes. Definitely miss the guys!! Echoing a lot of other people what made you unique and special was the quirkkiness of the apartments and the banter with the crew! I think once you get settled, a lot of that should come back! I was in the middle of a Zoom meeting and saw this pop up and wanted to end the call right away lol But i've got to pay my bills and sit on that Zoom patiently waiting!! Hopefully, the crew can maybe come as guests for birthday meals they pick 😊 Definitely. Don't forget the roots. What made home movies...HOME movies ❤ welcome back!
I want to add that I do enjoy the ending when the new crew was eating your food and more of your authentic self showing!!! 😊 I think that is great when friends or crew is joining your food at the end.
^ this
I loved the old Home Movies, and I am really looking forward to seeing where this new vibe is taking us!! It's different, but different can be just as good, if not better. Excited to follow along the journey 🌟❤
I’m so glad this show is back! I love watching it while cooking!!
This is next level! So happy to see your progression! Cant wait to see what else you got coming. See you in Vancouver!!!!
I agree, keep it simple! You don't even need to defend or explain. This is what I need right now. Just easy, no stress. I can make tonight.
I love Alison for her amazing cooking, recipes, and stylish presentation whether it be more relaxed or more sophisticated. Cooking is an art form, and artists don’t want to do the same thing forever. Artists grow and mature, and their styles may change a bit. I have learned so much through the years from Alison’s cooking videos and am truly excited to see this new side of her!💛
Happy you are back! This all feels a little serious but I am sure the new crew will warm up! Give Alison a break everyone. It’s only the first one it takes a minute. We all just love your humor so much. Hope to see & hear more about your new cat & new space! Congratulations the store is so sweet & dreamy 💕🦋🌙 Happy New Moon! Hope you get some sun soon ☀️💚
Loved this, so happy for you and thank you for always sharing your infectious enthusiasm for food and feeding people, we need more of that these days. Also at the end this had the 2000's Nigella Bites vibes when I'd watch her on the Style Network, loved it! I was finishing an FD order while I was watching and added broccoli to it, ah can't wait to make this :)
Ugh I've missed this so much. So glad your back❤❤❤
SCREAMING, CRYING, THROWING UP - SO GLAD YOU'RE BACK!
this season 2 is giving late-stage Nigella and I'm loving it
Without the meecro wahvay
Nigella yes but Nigella had that edgy European feel... This fireplace is giving a bit American Christmas...
YES! very Very Nigella!!! my two absolute favs
@alexandramachado3124 I don’t know why but this comment has me 💀💀. Glad you’re back Allison!
I said the same thing! Love it!
I can’t belive you missed the opportunity to say “pastabilities”
I had the same observation!
Literally thought she was going to say this at one point. 😂
Truly the moment I Knew and Realized how **different** this season was going to be.
Love the new space! Super into the peekaboo with the fridge.
Loved this. Thank you.
Love the new kitchen and vibe ♥
Gorgeous! Love the new direction.
I love your new space! Can't wait to try this.
Never been so excited for a video. Glad to have you back! :D
glad to BE back!
love alison’s personality as per usual. still pouring one out for the rob thomases and performative bad girls club. it was a great era but super stoked for the new one ;)
The biggest upgrade is the fridge 👌 And also italic writings gives medieval look with the sepia-ish colours. It’s not bad, we are just used to goofy mood.
Happy for you, but the vibes of cooking in a cramped NYC kitchen with Dan and Dave is what made Home Movies Home Movies. This just feels like every other cooking show now.
I hope this doesn’t go the way Ella Woodward took after her husband mansplained his way into her business.
Agreed. it's looking very basic now
Yum! The store looks adorable and I’d love a kitchen renovation tour. ❤
I CAME AS QUICKLY AS I COULD ❤
Thrilled you’re back! Congrats on your store and new life!
I definitely want to make a road trip to the store!
Thank goodness you’re back, I was going into a culinary decline, without your weekly inspiration. Simply cannot wait to make this in the coming week. I really loved seeing the crew eating the food afterwards as I had always wondered if they got to try your dishes afterwards.
The silliness in season 1 was a joy, but this feels so much more mature and elegant. Well done, I can’t wait to see more in your new space! (And for the podcast this week, which I think may be the episode we did…👀)
Made it straight away because I didn't know what to cook for dinner and already had lemon and broccoli at home. It was really good, would recommend (I did mess up the sauce a little bit because I started to early...) Happy that the video's are back!
This is *so* cozy and comforting, def a shift away from the old home movies but absolutely love it. ♥️ can’t wait for more!
So glad you are back! I was getting worried we wouldn't have a season 2! Looking forward to more delicious food (and more cat photobombs)
This brings me so much joy!
Absolutely love this format! Welcome back.
“She’s giving up the goods” 😂
Love this Allison. Beautiful kitchen. Love the simple elegance. ❤
Really enjoying the new classy vibe of editing! Also excited to try this recipe soon.
Yaaaaaas, my fave is back, back To my favorite bedtime routine ❤️
I love it, Alison! So cozy and fun and jazzy!!!! I love that with each video you’re more comfortable with your wonderful self and your incredible talent. I have to admit I cried when I saw the footage of First Bloom. It’s my dream to own a grocery store just like that and seeing a glimpse of it up close made me so hopeful. ❣️Here for the pasta and the broccoli and for you! Love you so much, Chef!🧡
LOVE SEASON 2 ! congratulations your new farm style kitchen looks beautiful. looove the fireplace.... so inspiring....
So glad you're back!
Why did you change the format of the show??? I still love you Alison, but season one actually made me lol! It was soo fun and funny! Bring back the season one vibe PLEASE!
Totally giving Paula Dean with the butter and the faux Italian kitchen but in a way that I'm here for. I think the whole thing will get back to being Alison-fun once they all get used to each other. We miss you David and Dan!!!!!
She's baaackk!!!! YAY I missed your videos T_T
LOVE LOVE LOVE the new format! You are enough all by yourself Alison! Recipe is on point and this was so cosy and relaxing to watch! Can't wait for more
The insane pressure we put on women to not change/age/evolve is right here in these comments. Right down to assuming the new content is missing the contribution that two men made, not Alison. Personally I love seeing you take on different life stages, each time with warmth, integrity and grace.
Wow what a kitchen!
I loved learning about your pantry shop. I also love the retro film clips you iinterspersed throughout. Looking forward to more!
season 1 opening music riff was perfection 🥲
I NEEDED THIS SO BAD !!!
It takes so much courage to evolve. I can’t wait to see how the vibe evolves with your team and to see how you use your new space and find a rhythm 💃🏻🕺🏻 I loved hearing about your new ventures. Thank you for continuing to share yourself with us!
