    I almost skipped watching this video thinking "I don't have a pasta maker, I can't make pasta," yet here I am, literally eating my last bite of pasta aglio e oilio that I made by hand. Easily one of the best things I've made. Thank you, Babish! I love this series, and as a new cook, I am learning a TON from it

      Basomic who many servings does one 2 egg batch of dough make because I’m cooking for 5 and I wanna know.

    • @Basomic
      @Basomic 4 роки тому +16

      When I used 2 eggs for the aglio e oilio (which Babish says is lighter and less filling than the cacio e pepe), I comfortably ate everything myself in one sitting, but a quick Google search shows recipes that have 2 eggs serving multiple people (maybe I was hungry and excited). If I were serving multiple people, I'd probably make multiple batches of 2-3 eggs worth of pasta, portioning out my noodles until I felt I had enough. And if this is by hand, it will take some time, so I'd do it ahead of time and freeze my pasta (a Google search says that's the best way to store fresh pasta). Hope that helps

      It's not. But with practice it becomes easy. but you have to learn to feel for the right texture. And the easiest way is to accept the standard recipe of 100g of flour, 1 whole egg, pinch of salt an 1 tsp of olive oil. Beat the egg and oil together, then mix with the flour and salt in a food processor or by hand, your choice. Then, knead it adding more flour it it's too wet until you it's silken smooth and elastic (press it with a finger, it it takes its time springing back and the finger hole doesn't disappear, it's good).

      Blend the coffee cream, milk, and melted butter in a pan. Don't let it get too hot - you don't want to scald the milk or creamer. Add spices like black pepper, some salt, even some chili powder. Toss in the leftover chicken fingers and toss to coat. Serves 1 because you'll never want to share it. Put it on white bread if you prefer the sandwich method.

    hey, i'm 21 and alone with my brother wile my parents are on vacation. I'm having a hard time lately (i've spend 3 months in psychiatric hospital due to sucidal thoughts) anyway i spend most of my days on youtube watching cooking videos (a coping mecanisme like any other) and today i decided to try your "pasta al olio" because it felt easy to make and i have a eating desorder. It was indeed easy to make and i sat in front of my computer to eat wile watching some more cooking videos, but i didn't watched an other video, because those pasta where good, i just sat at my desk saying to myself "wow those really are good" (in french) then i just started thinking about me cooking this dish for my gf (how is going through a really hard time to, i met her in the hospital) or for my childrens (if i live long enough to have childrens) and I litteraly started crying eating those pasta. Today was a really bad day for me, but you succeded to give me a tiny bit of will to live to cook those pasta to the people that i love.

    We made our first ever pasta tonight using your half and half recipe and for the first time in 5 years, we had no leftovers. We are super proud of ourselves and hope others try this out without fail, just like we did. Note: we thought our mixture was too dry. It wasn't. Thanks, Babish! ❤

    In the machine, create a loop once fed through pinching the ends together. No more re-feeding it back in again and again. Tip 2: when feeding through the cutter... place your hand under the pasta as it comes out. Will come out perfectly even and not fall into a messy pile. Great if hanging to dry too

  • @AbbreviatedReviews
    @AbbreviatedReviews 7 років тому +141

    My first and so far only attempt at Pasta Aglio e Olio ended up failing because I had the oil too hot and the garlic all but burnt. Really underestimated how quickly it cooks. Plus if the oil is too hot and you drop a bunch of wet pasta and water in there, it's going to fucking go crazy and you'll not enjoy all of the popping oil on your body. Granted I was still getting used to how to balance my new "powerburner" stovetop. Also I didn't have a Scarlett Johansson, but I also didn't tell my fiance that was part of the recipe...

    • @theonly764hero1
      @theonly764hero1 7 років тому +4

      Babish doesn't roast the garlic enough for my taste. If you just toast the garlic enough until it's golden brown, but not burnt, and then take off the heat and add the red pepper flakes and add the paste like 2 min later, I find it comes out about perfect.

    • @Excalibursin
      @Excalibursin 7 років тому +2

      I don't add the lemon unlike Babish, and I still think it's the best.
      And Babish, unlike the popular recipes, adds a lemon, but doesn't add the pepper flakes or the parmesan. Not that I add the Parmesan either, but the pepper flakes are fantastic.
      My point being that you can make little variations and it should still turn out well.

    • @theonly764hero1
      @theonly764hero1 7 років тому +1

    • @exploitativity

But this looks like one of those instances where it is not the case. Pasta is available for around a dollar a pound, dried. I am interested in the taste of freash pasta.

      +Oliver McDowell Your limiting factor in making pasta/noodles is really the wet ingredients. Once you understand the texture you need for your pasta, you just work the flour into the wet works until you reach that texture.
      +Homam Meshreqy 100g flour is about right for 60ml liquid to make a pasta/noodle dough, but all sorts of stuff like humidity, temperature, age and type of the flour(s) used, pH of the liquid(s), et al affect those ratios (sometimes really significantly).

    • @cole4783
      @cole4783 7 років тому

      Where are you from? Most european foods (especially soups, stews, and gravys) use stock to some extent. It is simply infusing the fat of meat into water by boiling it but herbs, temperatures, and cuts of meat change the flavor of the broth. I know most other countries use simply water or tomato bases for sauces but broths can really make a great dish if you want to add savory flavor to anything you would normally put normal water in.

    • @9292098
      @9292098 7 років тому +1

      In South-east/ East Asian cooking stock/ broth is also an important link. For example in Japanese cooking, stock prepared from dashi (a type of fish) and seaweed is a key ingredient in almost every dish. In Chinese cooking, if you want to infuse some savoury, meaty flavour to a dish (say vegetables) without making the liquid cloudy because of the animal protein, you could always use chicken stock, or any other stock depending on your liking, in stead of water and salt. The broth served with various soup noodles (Japanese ramen, Chinese wonton noodle, Vietnamese pho, etc.) is even sometimes considered the soul of the dish

      @ilGav86 7 років тому +21

      well, the "classic" italian dish is called "aglio, olio e peperoncino", oil, garlic, and chili pepper; which are the only 3 ingredients to make your sauce.
      The technique... It can get as complicated as you want!
      If you wonna try a different technique try dish:
      Put the garlic to infuse in some warm milk, just a few minutes to make it lose some of it's power (optional)
      Put some oil in a pan (1-2 table spoon per person)
      Put ur chili pepper (having 2-3 types even better) and your sliced garlic in the oil, low heat and slowly "cook" it, add some water to prevent the temperature to go up, the garlic should'nt change colour if not very slightly. You just want to infuse the tastes into the oil, nothing more.
      Cook ur dry pasta for 1-2 minutes into the boiling water and then just cook it in the pan with ur sauce adding water until cooked (this is called risottare the pasta, cooking ur pasta like a risotto: all the starch will stay in the pan with your sauce and it will become very creamy!).
      Taste and adjust with salt while cooking, not at end otherwise your salt won't enter into your pasta...

      The water sinks and gets vaporized from the heat. The steam expands and blasts the hot oil out.
      Do not mix water with hot oil

      You can mix hot oil and water, you just can't have the oil too hot.

    The ingredients for Spaghetti aglio e olio are olive oil and garlic (you can add parsley - depends from what part of Italy the recipe is). You should not use a drop of lemon juice and especially you can’t ruin the dish by adding black pepper. You should read a real pasta book

    HELPFUL TIP if you use store bought pasta you may need to add a little bit of cornstarch to your water before adding it to the oil for aglio e olio. kenji notes (in i believe the cacio e pepe video) that depending on the type of die used to extrude the pasta, you may not have the outer layer of starch on your pasta. as i’m watching this video i’m literally eating aglio e olio i made. used cornstarch to supplement for starch. absolutely amazing dish.
