Little tip here: The "al dente" cooking can be very variable in the amount of time that you got through the last 1-2 minutes, anyway pasta experts recommend to get the "filo" (like a cotton thread) It means that when you bite your pasta, you should see a smaller part a the center pretty raw and different that looks like a wire, and that should be the perfect "al dente".

Ever since I did that 'cook the pasta in the sauce' thing, I've never gone back. I love it when the pasta itself tastes a little bit like the sauce. All you gotta do is simply add just a bit of water to thin out the sauce and simmer it to your desired texture. The flavor wont be watered down as you've let the excess moisture boil off as the pasta cooks and the pasta has soaked up a bit of the sauce. Plus all that starch makes for a really thick sauce that clings so well on the pasta itself and goes well with any melty cheese sdogihasdoigadhjsgioh aaaAAAAA I WANT PASTA NOWWWW

3:25 I saw some Italian guy on TikTok make a pasta dish and he goes "as always salting the water". He added one single molecule of salt and I was like "what... you did what now" A friend of mine once watched in horror as I just poured some salt in pasta water and he said he just does a pinch.

True Italians add one cupped handful of salt to the pasta, that's the perfect amount, more than that and it just tastes like you shoved some salt in your mouth. I have a friend that just puts a pinch in, the pasta he cooks just tastes like starch afterwards lol Also, with more salty sauces (as carbonara) you need less salted pasta, with more bland sauces you need a tad more salt.

Great tips, Ethan! We all need a little reminder from time to time. I particularly appreciated the 1% solution for the salt. A lot of chefs say the pasta water should taste like the sea, but average salinity of the seas are 2.7% to 3.4%, and that makes for some salty noodles. Tim from his Kitchen and Craft channel covered this a couple of days ago, but wasn't as specific as you, and I think you nailed it. You should definitely do a hand made linguine and do a side-by-side blind tasting against high-end store bought linguine. The difference is palpable. Looking forward to this pasta series!

@EthanChlebowski

4 жыл бұрын

Thanks John! Always good to get that reminder. I think it's always great to be specific on salt levels where possible, as it leads to consistently good pasta. That's an interesting idea around the handmade vs high end. I may have to consider that!

Italian here: you did a great work with your video! I don't think the pasta brand makes that much of a difference (unless you are talking about more complex types of pasta). Usually here in Italy we have a much simpler and less technical approach, but maybe that's because we are used to cook it on a daily basis, but this tutorial rocks!

Just found the video, and again... useful info. Since you asked for "requests" I'll throw in Noodles Romanoff, I remember buying a Stouffers frozen entree years ago to pop in the microwave. It was made with a oval shaped pasta somewhere between spaghetti and linguine, covered in a thick creamy cheese (im assuming Romano) sauce.

Great video, another thing that’s important with pasta is whether to use pasta with eggs or not. For instance, you don’t want an egg based pasta for carbonara (in my humble opinion) as I think it will be too heavy of a dish. Subscribed and definitely looking forward to more awesome content :)

thanks it's very usefull

An American guy that understands pasta to an acceptable degree? wow I’m impressed

I have gluten free pasta, I think it tastes better, fresher and cooks more evenly. What I do is use a kettle to get boiling water into the (steel) pan, add a slug of salt, and I cook my veg like broccoli with it to save on pans, no oil, and drain it off and rinse it, don't like that starchy water. Then tip it back in my home made sauce which is either white cheese or a tomato variant (I sometimes add curry spice and herbs, tuna, chicken etc) and heat them up together. I sometimes put grated cheese and herbs on top. I don't like cheap pasta, prefer fresh if possible, but Barilla gluten free is great. Great video, sensible, step by step.

Nice video! I would love to see your take on Penne all’arrabbiata and Spaghetti aglio e olio

Pasta is the best!

I enjoy his videos and I think they're informative. I think he should do a more of an in-depth video about how he obtained this knowledge. Is it just me or does he come across as if his way is the best way?

I actually prefer to use my wok, especially for longer pastas. The whole is submerged all at the same time, and since it's a bit shallower pan, I get extra starchy pasta water for my sauces. Then once I drain the pasta I can make my sauce in the same pan add the pasta back in with extra starchy pasta water, and it s a one pot meal. It works very well for me at least. P.S. don't tell the Italians I use a wok. I'll get hate. But, it works perfectly!

If you boil water in a kettle and then you put it in a cold or not-so-hot pot then the water is gonna stop boiling. The point is keeping the water boiling, not making the water hit 100° and then nothin else. That's why if you use a kettle pasta comes out sticky or uncooked. That's why pasta in the UK is shit Cheers from Italy
