    He is right, i cook a lot of pasta, and i learn it from my father (Isidoro or what my nonna always said Sidoro) and he always reminds me of the cooking time. How longer how better. He is in heaven now, but when i make his pasta, i am in heaven to. 🍝

  • @brixomatic
    @brixomatic 4 роки тому +130

    Just as a little tip for those who want to take it to the next level: Some pasta dishes appreciate if you break these rules just a little.
    For Cacio e Pepe, pasta alla Gricia or Pasta alla Limone and other sauces (Butter+Garlic, or Nduja and Onions) where the base of the sauce is for the most part an emulsion of pasta water and fat, I use considerably less water to cook, so the water gets extra starchy. For all of these "pasta water emulsion" sauces that also a lot of salty ingredients, like peccorino cheese, guanciale or pancetta, like cacio e pepe or alla gricia, I will use a lot less salt for the pasta water. All of these sauces, where the pasta water and fat emulsion is king, I also undercook the pasta in the pot for one or two minutes and finish it up in the pan for a bit longer, to get a better emulsion and to be able to thicken up the sauce better.
    For all other pasta dishes, where pasta water is not a major part of the sauce, but just an additive, I use plenty of water and make it "as salty as the sea", as explained.
    I'd be interested in a reaction video to this guy, I think he nailed that technique perfectly:

    One little hint regarding cooking time.
    If you are living high above sea level, like I do, remember that your water is not boiling at 100°C, it is boiling on a significant lower temperature.
    In that case you have to cook your Pasta for longer as recommended on the box, find out your time kompensation for your altitude.
    I also strain my Pasta into the sink, and simply put a cup under the strainer, so I have always some pasta water at hand.

    Vincenzo is absolutely right. The other night I made my own simple tomato and basil sauce, and mixed the pasta with the sauce and it really was a difference from how I was eating pasta before (pouring the sauce over the pasta already plated).
    Even making your own sauce makes a difference. For years I bought premade sauces, but after making my own tomato and basil sauce I can't go back to storebought sauces.
    My next step is importing real parmeggiano or pecorino cheese. Cheers Vincenzo. Have a wonderful day.

      I recently made carbonara for the first time ever; I couldn't get any guanciale so I used pancetta instead, and I thought the sauce was the right consistency so I didn't add any pasta water and it worked well for me. It was so odd to not put garlic in a pasta dish since I love garlic but this may be the first thing I've ever made that I think garlic would've ruined.

      Totally agree! The texture of properly made pasta is unbeatable. It's a culinary delight that satisfies not just the taste buds, but also brings immense joy. 🍝😄 So happy you love it too!

    You are more accurate than Gordon Ramsay.

      That's a low bar. Ramsay knows nothing about Italian cooking

      Vincenzo, ho preparato il cibo secondo le tue ricette ed è stato tutto perfetto, ti chiedo solo di registrare quanti più commenti possibili sugli chef che mentre preparano il cibo sembrano si iscriveranno (sai a chi mi riferisco) e ti ringrazio per il bello e originale ricette e suggerimenti!

      Gourav Chakraborty It is not a question of ....”more accurate than.....” Let's say clearly that Gordon Ramsay doesn't know how to cook pasta !

    I just stumbled across this channel today and thank you Vincenzo for making Italian food the way it should be made! I haven’t looked around enough but is there anyway I can have your sauce shipped to California?

      wow Keith, I love to heart that! I really appreciate your words 🙏🏻❤️ unfortunately it is not possible for me to ship to California, but I really hope that one day you can taste my sauce! ☺️
