Description

🍷 Get Your Valentine's Day Bundle Here!: https://yt.franzesewine.com/ 💪🏼 Join Franzese Family: https://michaelfranzese.com/family/ For this Valentine’s Day special I’m back in the kitchen cooking one of my wife’s favorite dishes: real Italian‑style fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp, the way we enjoy it at home. While the pasta’s boiling, I’m telling the story of how we met on a movie set in 1983, why she stood me up the first time, and how a mob guy ended up married to the same woman for 40 years. ​ We talk about how to recognize a good woman, red flags that tell you she’s not the one, and why being a man means protecting, providing, and showing her she’s special—on Valentine’s Day and every other day. I also share why I believe men should cook for their wives once in a while, what really keeps the spark alive after decades together, and answer questions from my school about mistakes men make in relationships and how I knew Cami was the one. ​ If you want to steal this Valentine’s idea—fettuccine, roses, chocolates, and a good bottle of wine—I promise it’s an offer she can’t refuse. ​ Ex Mob Boss Cooks Authentic Fettuccine Alfredo (How to Impress Your Girl) 🤝 Book 1 on 1 Call With Me: https://michaelfranzese.com/book-1-on-1-call/ 🔥 Check out my store: https://store.michaelfranzese.com/ 🎙️ Michael Franzese Podcast on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Eo39qb 📧 Interested in partnerships? partnerships@michaelfranzese.com 00:00 Introduction03:18 Fettucine Alfredo - Italian Style04:58 Why Valentines Day is Special05:47 Valentines Day Wine Special Bundle06:55 How I Met My Wife07:47 Step 1 - Boil The Water09:10 My Wife Stood Me Up 5 Times10:34 Salt the Pasta10:49 Step 2 - Grate The Parmesan Cheese13:00 How I Married My Wife14:23 How To Know You Have A Good Woman17:24 Why Men Need To Act Like Men20:45 Valentines Exclusive Zoom Announcement21:21 Step 3 - Boil The Pasta 25:30 Step 4 - Mix Fettuccine With Butter27:44 Step 5 - Add Black Pepper28:01 Step 6 - Prepare Shrimp28:30 What Does It Mean to be a Man29:07 Step 7 - Cut and Brown Garlic31:35 Step 8 - Brown The Shrimp34:19 Step 9 - Plate and Parsley34:51 Add Some Wine35:50 Date Night Finishing Touches39:16 Franzese Family QnA48:08 Taste Test Backbone Media Group Learn more about your ad choices.
