    *Its 2am and you look out your window into the neighbors back yard*
    You see a man, with a gopro and headlight attached to his head foraging for herbs.
    You keep looking and see him walk inside and proceed to slap the herbs he's collected repeatedly on his cutting board.
    *wyd?*

    • @ExternusArmy
      @ExternusArmy 4 роки тому +56

      Babish tends to desecrate traditional dishes but his interpretation of aglio e olio (which is really just the movie Chef’s interpretation verbatim) is magnificent. I’d say it’s superior to Kenji’s by far. Classic example of being greater than the sum of its parts.

    • @ExternusArmy
      @ExternusArmy 4 роки тому +17

      @Anakin, no the dish is defined by only including 3 ingredients: pasta, oil, and garlic. 4 if you include cooking water of the pasta. Sometimes chili flakes are added purely for spice and not so much flavor of the pepper so it’s hardly considered an ingredient. All other additions are not included in the verbatim definition. Not to say they don’t taste good, but take it for what it is.

    @thatswavy 4 роки тому +437

    This is my favorite late-night pasta dish. I feel like everyone has their own method and little twist, so here's mine... even though no one asked for it haha
    I tend to slice the garlic very thin (instead of mincing it) and use red pepper flakes. Add the oil + garlic into a room temp pan and set to medium heat. As soon as the oil starts to sizzle, turn off the heat and add in your red pepper flakes. This prevents the garlic from going brown and bitter, while infusing the red pepper flakes into the oil without the chance of burning them. Toss in your chopped parsley and add the pasta + the starchy water in a little bit at a time. Over the past year I've added a little bit of fresh lemon juice to the pasta after it's come together in the pan. It's sacrilege, but I really love how it cuts through the fat and adds a little zing to everything.

    • @ivannaviosky1739

      @@alexketchum3252 I do that too, I always figured that putting it in boiling water instead of cold water you get al dente pasta because it cooks slightly slower on the inside. But yeah I found the article on serious eats and apparently it really doesn't matter. Didn't know that.

      @Minstrel🎼 Five months after leaving that comment I've moved back to preboiling my pasta water. I found that my pasta, while cooking faster, would stick together and cook unevenly. And besides I'm never in so much of a hurry that I would need to use that method. So yeah, I reverted back to the traditional method. I did discover that a bit of msg along with the salt in the cooking water does wonders, though.

      Yes, you ALWAYS put salt in the water when cooking pasta and for god’s sake do not put salt straight into the oil when doing aglio e olio
      The pasta itself should be seasoned, if you just put salt after it’s cooked it’s not the same thing

      Put just enough water in the pot to cover the pasta, use a thermometer to keep an eye on the water temperature, when it hits 180F, start a timer for the normal amount of time you would have cooked it. It doesn't work for fresh pasta, only dry. Ethan Chlebowski(?) has a great video explaining why it works
