Ham El-Waylly is in the studio making his recipe for Za’atar and Labneh Spaghetti! Creamy labneh, a Middle Eastern yogurt, produces a pasta dish with the texture of an alfredo, but with a bright tang that brings levity. Labneh provides a rich, luscious texture, but strained yogurts, like Greek yogurt or skyr, work well as substitutes. Be sure to add the dairy at the end, and don’t let it come to a boil while you stir. Boiling will cause the yogurt to break, leaving you with a sauce that isn’t creamy or rich. If the pasta sauce tightens up and breaks from sitting for too long, pour in some reserved pasta water and stir vigorously over medium-low heat until the sauce comes back together, lusciously smooth, saucy and glossy.

HAM!!! So excited he’s on NYT solo. Don’t get me wrong, I love Solah and Ham together but I could just watch Ham cook all day. He’s so happy, down to earth and knows how to cook!
His little hand gestures are hella cute
@@ctfddftba They are the same as Sohla's. I wonder who started it.
I love how Sohla and Ham share mannerisms and vocabulary. The chef mind-meld is adorable!
When he tastes the pasta water and says "Wow!"
I thought Sohla was mocking him 😅
@@mammontustado9680 I got the impression he was mocking Sohla… 😅
I don't think I've ever heard Za'atar pronounced before. Learning things from the first sentence, and it just gets better from there! Thank you, Ham.
Finding out how it was pronounced was literally the only reason I clicked the video.
Za'atar the plant is very easy to grow in the Mid-Atlantic, in case anyone wants to go that direction. I'm in Philadelphia and we've been growing Lebanese za'atar for several years. It's good on everything.
yes!!!!! thank you!
That's a bit confusing to me, because it is a spice mix. Do you mean sumac or thyme?
Za'atar is the name of an herb (or actually, a few related herbs). The spice mix takes its name from the herb, which is also known as "hyssop" or origanum syriacum (Syrian oregano). Confusingly, the term is also used to refer to the whole family of herbs that includes thyme, oregano, and savory. @@jaxlaxsurprise
@@jaxlaxsurprise Za'atar = Syrian thyme (Origanum syriacum). Sumac is just called sumac in Arabic. You use za'atar (plant) to make za'atar (spice).
So glad Ham has his own show❤
Going Ham would be a good name.
Sohla is one lucky lady. She and Ham are just the cutest dang chefs of all time.
Genuinely got excited seeing Ham! His recipes are genius but approachable and simple in a good way
There's an old saying " if you can't explain it in a simple way, you don't know it well enough "
These two are so similar. I can imagine Sohla saying “no offence to Italians. But actually yes offence to Italians” in the same way! And “wow”.
You can tell they spend a lot of time together, and it's adorable lol
Growing up in a mixed Cuban/Lebanese household, we had some interesting mash ups like pseudo Alfredo though in our case it was lemon zest with the Labneh and black pepper and toum as opposed to sliced garlic. Toum/Lemon/Zaatar/Olive Oil make a great marinade for seafood before you grill it as well.
Sahtain!
I'd have thought labneh and toum to be like a hat on a hat, bu you're right! There's no reason those two wouldn't go together in a dish
@@DizzyBusy my Teyta (Grandmother in Arabic) made a refreshing summer "soup" that was labneh, a small amount of toum which goes a long way, lots of cucumber and fresh mint. Occasionally she'd add some chopped tomatoes but either way, it was fantastic on a hot summer afternoon with some bread and za'atar in our home made olive oil.
@@MelvisVelour Sounds yummy!
@@DizzyBusyThe dish in this vid is very likely inspired by a super common Arab dish called macaroni w Laban. Laban (which is the unstrained form of labneh, so it’s closer to Greek yogurt in texture) was mixed with crushed garlic and salt and then mixed with the noodles. We didn’t heat the yogurt or anything. On the side, we’d cook some ground beef with pine nuts to top it. I didn’t always need it though. It’s like the Arab kraft dinner lol very nostalgic
@@MelvisVelour❤ khyar w laban aka cucumbers and yoghurt. This was my favorite to drink or to eat with rice and green fava beans.
Congrats to you and Sohla on the new baby, Ham!
Watched this episode last night on the train after a few beers.
Took what I had in the kitchen - greek yogurt, sour cream, za'atar seasoning, and garlic salt and threw it on some sauteed adult spinach w/ garlic slices.
Oh boy oh boy didn't know how to use za'atar before this and now I'm educated.
YAY HAM YAY!!!!!!!!!!! COME THRU COME BACK STAY FOREVER
Yay Ham! Also so glad for za'atar recipes. I have a Lebanese mom who taught me nothing, so now thanks to Ham I get a little heritage with my pasta!
My mom didn't teach me anything either, but she's Korean, lol.
Only thing better than watching Ham cook is having Sohla in the kitchen, too.
Yes please, more za'atar everywhere.
Buy Palestinian za'atar! It's the best ❤🇵🇸
Brand please.
why do i read your name and immediately think "oh, this is Kal-el's brother from kansas that just went to culinary school. he's Ham El. ma and pa kent thought it would be good if kal had a brother to grow up with. so they adopted Ham too. when clark is having a rough day, he just goes down the street to this guys shop for a bowl of soup, and nice talk".
edit: great recipes man. i bet the acidity from the yogurt goes great with the olive oil and garlic. i really want to get some yogurt and try this now. dang.
Love seeing Ham make a vid, immaculate vibes on an extremely chill dude
Ham and Sohla are my favorite power couple
Love Ham! Clementine cooks better be next!
Clicked so fast and liked the video as soon as I saw it's Ham! I especially love all videos with Ham and Sohla working together.
So excited to see Ham get his own show!
I’m Syrian and we pronounced it leb nay. Like Hams way. Bringing back happy memories of my grandmother
I just made this- OMG it’s amazing. I love watching both Sohla and Ham. They both have a really clear and fun way of teaching cooking. My husband even wants to cook their recipes- Start Here is a MUST have cookbook
Aww, he said "Wow!" after taking a bite like Sohla! That's cute.
My thoughts chronologically:
1. What the fish?? I love pasta and I love labneh-zaatar-pita but together?? intrigued!!
2. I thought Zaatar was just a different oregano?!? wow now I know!
3. I am loving him, who is this guy?? Last name matches with Sohla....hmmm....
4. I too always spill water from the measuring cup!! Only way I found not to spll is to go slow
5. Yes!!, now I can use my leftover Labneh to make alfredo!
6. Question to Ham, which brand of labneh you use? the labneh varies a lot by brand/country of origin
"Tastey water flavored broth" Ive never heard before but thats basically exactly how I go about it. Perfect explanation. Dont make it taste like the ocean, make it taste good.
We love Chef Ham!
I wholeheartedly approve of any and all Sohla and/or Ham content. Bring it on.
Ham!
Ham's opening theme music is epically perfect *chef's kiss*
Love Ham Solo!!!
Sohla in male form, it's insane 😆. they're so perfect together
my family serves any kind of pasta alongside a container of labne. great stuff! it instantly makes any dish so creamy and delicious, especially when you have a spicy sauce to mix it with
So cute imagining a 10-year-old Ham (in my mind, he still has a mustache,) making this!
“I trust nobody” 😂😂 Love this!
New weekend night dinner has entered the rotation 🫡
Both of these look super delicious
Oooh these both look delicious!!
so special to see more of Ham on this channel!! He is such a delight
I'd take more labnah za'tar recipes from Ham! This dish is amazing both fresh and cold as leftovers. We make it often from the short that was posted before. This is clearer and easier to follow.
these look amazing! thankyou, ham!
Yay for Ham!! He's awesome.
This is a brilliant creation
Ooooh - solo Ham! Hope NYT lets him get out of the box with his recipes
Dear @PYREX, please improve the pour spout on your liquid measuring vessels. Excellent recipes, Ham. Thank you.
lovely to see ham! would love to learn more about mid eastern recipes
And dad !!!❤
Definitely going to make this!!!! Looks amazing
I love Ham!!!! More Ham!!!
Oh I'm ao excited. In Lebanon we have a yogurt pasta dish and this looks like a great variation of this!
lets gooooo love to see ham doing his thing, looks delicious!
HAM! Excellent!
I love everything about this video!
More Mystery Menu please!
pleaseeeee yes
my dear beautiful husband is egyptian//(I see ur half egyptian) and he is a chef//so love that you incorporating zataar and labna even though it's more a lebanese/syrian thing/they do somewhat do it in egypt//I eat it on bread a lot/salaam from Dearborn
Wowww that looks amazing
I love Ham, and this dish is wonderful
Ham, great recipe that I actually discovered ten years ago when we visited beautiful Lebanon. Their food is unparalleled! Luckily, we have it all over Boston ! What i’ve just discovered through an Erasmus program in Palermo Sicily , is that the Arabs brought Pasta, Pizza, Pesto, coffee, Sorbet, Pistachio, Artichokes, Spinach to Italy, Spain, Portugal, Malta, France… so you Aren’t offending Italians! The Arabs brought them Pasta after all!
To all the vegan peeps, you can make labnah with plain soy yoghurt! Just strain it in a cheese cloth for a few days and you're set. It lasts about a week in the fridge once strained too.
Hooray for Ham! Love seeing you get your own spot. Super helpful informative and casual and most of all delightful!
I love that he always wears that Clementine hat!!!
Lovely episode Ham. I love the flavor of Za’atar so especially looking forward to making this. Congrats to both of you in your new Bebe.
Yeah!! It's Ham! So glad to see him.
Yes!! i love seeing more za'taar recipes and also seeing more of Ham. As another commenter mentioned, he's like a male version of Sohla, they're perfect for eachother 😍
This might be my dream pasta 🧡
Omg I will have to give this a try !
In lebanon we use laban instead of labne(the non-strained version) add garlic and dried mint! all topped with fried pinenuts.
omg that sounds so good
@@rockpooladmirer it is SO good. I usually sauté the pasta with some garlic and olive oil. On the side mix yogurt, fresh garlic,dried mint and salt. Mix it up and top it with fried pine nuts. So good and cheap!
I’m so excited to see Ham with his own show
Love this, super delicious! Zaatar is the best on everything, meat, sauces, etc.!
This look tasty and interesting!!
I’d eat the heck out of this! Thanks for this interesting recipe!
Absolutely love zaatar, definitely gonna try this recipe soon ❤️
Ham is such a fun chef to watch
Man, this looks good!
I need to look into Za'atar and lebneh! They both sound tasty
El-Waylly takeover!!!! This looks fire!
loved this episode! I bought za'atar for the first time recently and it's incredible! I've been trying it on pretty much any savory dish. Looking forward to seeing more Ham!
perfect amount of garlic!
Love a Ham video!!
Looks tasty! I will prepare those. 🙏🏻 Thank ya
I'll take both!!❤
Reminds me a bit of spaghetti in yogurt and dry mint sauce which my grandma used to make for me in the summer in lebanon.
Ham is the BEST!
Three cheers for Ham! Keep him coming back.
8:40 “Wow!” They both exclaim it in exactly the same way, for exactly the same reason!
What’s funny is, when I saw the garlic I thought it was the correct amount and maybe could use even more? Haha
Love how he's actually pronouncing it right! Love transforming these staples.
Love you Ham!
Alright, this has done it- I’ve got to try labneh now!!
We just tried this and it was so good! Next time I think I'll add some za'atar-seasoned grilled chicken.
I love the tanginess of labneh, and I cant wait to try the Pseudo Alfredo. It looks like a quick and delicious dish...with a salad,mit would be a perfect fast dinner.
Love!
Is it just me or does everyone see the effects of the relationship resemblance syndrome? Def seeing Sohla in Ham in this video ❤
Totally. All the same mannerisms.
HAM!!!!!! ANGEL MAN 🎉🎉🎉
It was kosher salt … BIG difference than processed table salt. You can use 2 to 2 1/2 times kosher salt compared to processed table salt
YESSSS to the Ham feature!!!
Hi Ham! I want to try to make this. Thank you.
I think that was the best introduction I've ever witnessed
