    The secret is to use A LOT of butter and parm. It will be creamier than cream.
    DON'T make the sauce separate from the pasta. Mix the hot, fresh-from-the-pan pasta with the butter and parm. It will not break or clump. Add a little pasta water if needed. It's even richer than if you use cream.

      A slightly easier method is to melt the butter in water, "melt" the cheese in that mix and then add the pasta. If you insist on adding cream, put it in after the cheese is integrated into the butter-water (butter-cheese-water.)

  • @rooooooby
    @rooooooby 3 роки тому +4

    In the original recipe you don't cook the butter. You use the heat of the cooked pasta to melt butter and emulsify it together with the cheese. It is a similar technique to making Italian carbonara except you whip it on a cold plate. Most American Italian restaurants add cream because they don't know how to make it properly so they have to add cream to stabilize it.

      If you don't make the sauce in a pan, but rather mix the pasta straight from the hot water with butter and parm, it will turn into a sauce and it won't separate. Just add a spoon or more of pasta water if you need more liquid. It's so good.

    I find adding cornstarch keeps the smooth consistency, and then you can sort of make the flavor more mild by adding more milk but yet not turn it watery. I like strong flavored food but it’s not to everyone’s liking. Additionally I do find that it does like to separate when trying to cook it, I make mine a little bit more involved than you do yours… So the corn starch acts very perfectly.
    Try adding a small juiced onion when making enough for 4 to 6 people, as well I add garlic as you did, and white pepper.
    This month I’m gonna get back to making UA-cam videos, and this summer my recipe for Alfredo as well as hollandaise sauce will be posted on my channel. As well as my very special crêpe recipe from my grandmother. And my gardening/landscaping, art painting, home remodel of my 150-year-old country school turned cottage, and most important the marketing of my up-and-coming first autobiography in a series of four.

    • @MrUncleTings
      @MrUncleTings 4 роки тому

      cornstarch is unnecessary; add pasta water instead and cook it through. there should be enough starch in the water to keep a proper emulsification. most of the starch should be released into the water well before the pasta should be taken out of the water, so over cooked pasta shouldnt be a problem either

    • @FynnOliverEmonSill
      @FynnOliverEmonSill 4 роки тому

      OnionButtons I have forgotten that, but have heard about adding the pasta water before. Only problem is I typically use ready made stuffed pasta in the refrigerated section. So less starchy water to work with.
      PS: if you can find it, asparagus pasta stuffed with ricotta blend is amazing!

      Because if you start the sauce with salt, then it's going to make it quite salty after reducing it. You want to enhance the flavor not be overwhelmed by how salty it is. Gives you control over how much salt you add to your taste.

    You do know that when using just butter and cheeses, you do not put the butter over high heat. In a pan, you should just use low heat. Normally you put the butter on a hot plate to melt, add the cheese and mix, and then add the noodles and mix.

      to be honest, butter and parm reg is all you really need. cream makes it bland because it masks the complexity of the butter and parm. if you really want to add cream, try making another classic dish. its all the ingredients above including the juice of 1 lemon and its zest. the flavour is completely different from what you might expect from a rich dish but its completely sublime.
      if youre going with my above suggestion, you might need a different technique or you will destroy your sauce. all you need is 1 pot. boil your pasta, poor off most of the water off (leave a good amount of water so your sauce doesnt go dry and pasty), off the heat, throw in butter and emulsify, then add cheese and emulsify
