pasta #spaghetti #recipe Before I met Eva, I used to think I knew everything there was to know about cooking pasta. Turns out, I …
Harper, stop "fixing" Eva's English and accent. Half of her charm is the unique accent and "mistakes". Some of us enjoy it. Don't ruin it for us. Sofia Vergara is popular for her accent. Don't ruin Eva. Eva is perfect as she is stop Muricanising her. Love her as she is, Italian. Don't make her something she isn't. She loses street cred it her English becomes "perfect". It would also be good for the channel and her as your brand. Don't make her less Italian.
I don’t care I will make pasta in the smallest amount of water I can no matter what. Boils faster, requires less salt, makes the pasta water more starchy for building sauces. It’s better this way
Why is pasta that requires longer cooking time better? Doesn’t it mean it’s just more dry?
Overcooked pasta is bad for you because the body can’t digest it properly.
I can't believe how good la Molisana is. I stockpile it when it goes on sale – regardless of how much is already in the stockpile.
I was always told to drain and rinse the pasta to get the starch off of it but when I stopped doing that I did notice the pasta had a nicer bite.
The only reason for olive oil in the water is to prevent over boiling!!!
Probably shouldn't use much salt if you're going to use salty pasta water in your dish
I love watching y’all! Miss my great grandma… where can I get a pasta Grammer apron and shirt? Hey, chiapino… what’s your take? My Great Grandpa and Great Uncle were Sicilian fisherman who would sell to our Allioto cousins and they would make this seafood stew. They closed during the last phase of the Pandemic… it’s time to go back to our roots. Come to San Francisco and manjia! Bon a petit!
I’m surprised how this guy is really still alive after cooking hot food, sealing it and putting it directly in the cold fridge…. For any food type! 😮
Can you please tell me how your hair was layered? I'm looking to get my curls cut, just like yours!!
This has to be my favorite video! I’m sending it to my daughters to remind them not to be stingy with the salt! Ha!
My first wife did the pour the cold sauce out of the jar onto the noodles. I couldn't believe it and I'm not even Italian. It was so nasty and it never actually warmed up.
So loved this video, especially nr 9!!!
I grew up with my mom making spaghetti with meat sauce scooped on top. I know better now, but as a kid that was my version of Italian food in southern Maine. 😏
My wife and I don’t do much better now, but we do add the meat sauce to the pot instead of just on top. I still haven’t tried reheating it other than in the microwave for lunch, and it definitely loses a lot of integrity that way. I have also found that macaroni noodles are better for leftovers in this situation. We call it American chop suey.
Great episode as always, and I look forward to what’s next!
Completely unrelated comment:
Your hair is so very distracting!
I just keep staring at it and thinking how beautiful those curly manes are, and how I wish my hair was like that, and then I have to rewind the video, because missed what you guys were talking about.. 😅🖤
With great respect I ask this question. 😘 The clip of someone serving the pasta…it looks like white pasta with sauce on top. Looks absolutely omgosh delicious! Was that pasta cooked together ?
This is your best video yet. You did miss something. Once you figure out the correct way to cook your pasta, you reach for that shaker and shake on some of that good old Kraft grated Parmesan … 😲
The way you could see her dying inside when he was explaining his pasta meal preps…🤣😂
I either get the pasta Mollisana because it’s made from copper die, or I make it myself. I also cooked in Italian restaurants. Real ones then I worked in Olive Garden they used to get mad at the trash talk I used to say. Olive oil in the pasta water or put it on it it makes the pasta spoil and get rancid. The salt in the water means natural flavor in the sauce . People keep your stereotypes and actually learn about the culture/cuisine. Cooking is natural for me so I can easily do it✌🏾
Always pasta life changing. My grandson thanks you!
Love the vids. I think a collab video with Sip and Feast and Not Another Cooking Show would be terrific.
Is there something akin to a “husband be gone” app or a YouTube hack that would accomplish the same? Because really all I’m interested in is the food and the hot Italian chick. Not in that order.
I want to tell you a story my father used to tell about his time in the US Coast Guard during WWII. One Thanksgiving an Italian-American shipmate invited him home for Thanksgiving. They served spaghetti, and my father, a bit disappointed but having grown up through the depression, would never question what food was being served to him. So he just assumed that's all they were eating, and filled up on it. After he was full and satisfied, they brought out two big turkeys with all the trimmings.
On mistake #1, I also found La Molisana (2:51) almost a year ago for .88 cents each at that same chain. I bought 12 spaghetti and 12 penne. I've given some away, and still have some left, great pasta! Great Video too!!
I have always cooked my pasta, drained it, added butter and then poured sauce over it. Next time I will try adding the pasta directly to the simmering sauce. My sauce is a simple one of crushed tomatoes, basil and garlic.
There was no mentioning of rinsing pasta. Generally, it is not a good idea except when making baked ziti to help prevent it from gluing itself too much.
Mapazzone! Never again! 😘
My worst mistake is #8
Is it strange that I watch your vídeos before going to sleep because they are somehow cozy? 😅😍
I have an ancient enameled cast iron pot in which I love to reheat left-over pasta. I always add a little extra something to it (cheese, olive oil, Calabrian chili) so it's…almost…al forno, LOL. I love the crunchy bits on the edges and the top. It's wrong. I know it is. But I can't help it. Do I need therapy?
Insane hair! Beautiful
Tupperware are the best tools to store left over food in the fridge for days and days – before you throw it away.
I love this video… ❤ as Italian…I totally agree 🙌🏻
