I make this recipe all the time its the perfect 2 portion dinner. Takes practice and good planning but once you have it down it really is a 20 minute recipe that is restaurant quality for less than $10 a portion. Umami forward, rich and textured. It is a perfect plate.

Is that what you took from this video, because if so, wow that is some self reinforcing editing of only comments you think agree with what you’re doing. For this one dish it is apparently very important to use a small amount of water because you want exceptionally starchy water. For this 1 dish though - you still need to be cooking pasta with a 4 to 1 ratio of water so salty it tastes like the sea in almost every other pasta dish. I’m not Italian so gods knows it’s not ‘my cuisine’ but I don’t think any chef will tell you cooking pasta in an insufficient amount of water is ok and energy required to heat water for cooking dinner misses the point of environmentalism entirely.

@@jusssayin480 I don't need to feel validated to do anything. I've been doing what works for me for many years. For a person running a household economy with many people, conserving water (because we pay the water bill) and conserving energy (because we pay the electric/gas bill) are things we consider. Chefs who are giving instructions on how to cook restaurant style aren't coming from the same place. It's easy to say that cooking something is the right and/or best way to do it, it's another thing to have to consider all the impacts of what that means to a household economy. My comment was to mean that it's interesting or reaffirming of you will, to see a chef say that it's ok or even good to cook pasta with less water, because most stress vehemently that you need at least a gallon of water to cook a pound of pasta OR ELSE BAD THINGS HAPPEN! It was meant in a humorous, cheeky way, which I see you didn't pick up on.

Question about pepper: how long does freshly cracked black pepper stay fresh? I’m often tempted to grind about half a cup to keep in a dish next to my salt, but I don’t want to compromise it’s pungency or flavor.

@seikibrian8641
@seikibrian8641 2 жыл бұрын
If you're sprinkling it on plated food, Mark, grinding it at the time of eating is best. If you're cooking with it, much of the more-subtle notes are destroyed by cooking and it's mostly the "heat" that's left, so grinding some in advance to keep near the stove is fine. It should be good for several days and up to a week. After that you might as well just by pre-ground.

@airmobiledivision7759
@airmobiledivision7759 2 жыл бұрын
Some recipes do so because the pasta is deliberately undercooked, allowed to finish in the pan with the fat and other ingredients. If they are throwing a bunch of water into the pan toward the end of the process, that is unnecessary, I agree.
