I imagine that the amount of starch in the water after cooking off one batch of pasta is minimal (in comparison to the restaurant that will reuse the water for multiple servings). I suspect that means at home the emulsification process could benefit from doping the water with some extra flour.

@KarachoBolzen

16 күн бұрын

That's one of the reasons why I started just mixing my starch water directly in a glass off to the side whenever I'm cooking italian, skipping pasta water entirely. Of course, it's not traditional, and it's not as "neat" as using the pasta water, but the result is what matters. It makes a huge difference in yielding a smoother, thicker, more creamy sauce, trust me. I also do the same with dry pasta, as that generally has a lot less starch on the outside than the varieties found in italy.

@sage_justice1383

16 күн бұрын

I just use a little less water than is in this video. While you do want to have enough that the pasta has room to move with the boil, this seemed like a lot of water for the amount of pasta. Having a better ratio of that means the water you do use will have a more usable amount of starch just from the pasta.

Much easier way to make the sauce: combine the parmesan with a little of the pasta water to melt it and make a slurry: then slowly stream in melted butter while whisking with a hand-held electric whisk, ideally in a very constrained container. Once you have emulsion, iff too thick, thin with pasta water (You reserved it, right?) bit by bit to desired consistency - mix with your pasta, serve.

I don't know if it can still considered alfredo with how I do it, but I like to use a cup of heavy cream, two parts parm one part asiago, and about half a cup of butter with a bit of pepper. Super yummy.
