Nobody asked, but: hella salted water is most important for fresh pasta, 'cause it's only in the water for less than two minutes. Medium salted works well for dry pasta.
Facts.
And also depends if you use cheese (hard cheese has salt) or butter (salted or unsalted) or use bacon/lardons (salt, duh!)
As in adjust seasoning according to taste! :p
This is exactly what I was thinking. I’d never heard of the oil thing either but wondered whether that’s to do with fresh pasta too?
@@DapperMrTom you'd be correct, there. Helps with foaming
Fresh pasta is an entirely different beast than dried pasta. I make fresh pasta every day at work.
"am i the gross one of the crew"
josh in almost every episode: *pulls something out of his jorts leg*
Flashback to Trevor shouting "This GREMLIN washed himself in the kitchen sink"
Josh is like if a racoon became a chef
I remember when Trevor was quiet and timid and new. Now Trevor is reaching a Josh level of chaotic energy that is both concerning and amazing.
He is the wolverine
Josh’s energy rubs off on anyone
Josh is so powerful that he converts others around him to another josh, slowly but surely.
its tryhard show off behaviour. It's just immature boy stuff.
@@Tasmanaut agree.. trevor is way cringier than he is actually funny
The best part of this entire video is the fact that they left that one noodle stuck to that door the entire filming. Gotta appreciate the little things.
I was just about to say that it was probably a paid actor... 😂
Nicole: Calls Josh disgusting every week for like a year-and-a-half.
Josh: Somehow figures out he's the gross one on his own.
I like how the spaghetti noodle stayed on the cabinet throughout the entire episode
Permanent addition maybe?
I like how the spaghetti noodle stayed on the cabinet throughout the entire episode
@@donvito5647 I’m high and that was funny
Me not looking back at the video to confirm ... lol
Came here to comment on this.
Nichole slayed TF out of that outfit. Vianai's edges and glowing skin are flames! Trevor's color scheme with the black bandana. Josh's jeans and that nice wash and fit. Squad goals fr 10/10
Is anyone going to talk about how Trevor can sing like an Italian gondola boat driver
Legit I’m an opera singer and I had to listen like three or four times this dude has PIPES
I feel like they hired Trevor to off load joshes crazy and Nicole to tame it but then Nicole went crazy so they hired V to tame the crazy and now she’s gone crazy and they have given up
We can't let any more sane people get corrupted like this.
That's just what josh does to people...
It's terrible
Trevor started out uncomfortable and not used to Josh's wackiness to now being just as wacky and funny! 🤣
Right....Nicole and Vi are still saner but I feel Trevor is being led to the darkside
I'm losing it at everyone doing their jobs while Trevor punches the air with forks
Trevor wasn't there, that was Logan, AKA The Wolverine, fighting Magneto
Magneto controls metal and wolverine is metal coated that fight would be just as sad as Trevor was acting
@@davidallencovid only Wolverine's bones are coated in metal ya goober, and Trevor wasn't acting, that was the real Wolverine
Wolverine!
@@necro-esque666 WOW I really thought Wolverine was covered in metal you told me you're such a winner you told me golly willerkers I'm a goober but you were kissing me u goober kisser
Nicole telling Trevor to “get wrecked” after beating him in one game of rock paper scissors made me laugh harder than it should, lol.
Josh: Doesn’t want to offend Italian grandmas
Also Josh: Uses chopsticks to eat spaghetti
Its the pasta sticking to the cabinet for the rest of the episode for me
That honey booboo sketti
I didn't notice it still there until the very end!
I threw a noodle on my wall and forgot about it for a couple days and when I decided to take it off it took the wall paint with it..😅
Okay I’m not the only one who sees it. I thought I was going crazy for a second.
Mythical Kitchen woke up today and chose violence - Italians everywhere are quaking
Did Italians learn they've been cooking pasta wrong the whole time?
Or do Italians just get mad in general when non-Italians make "their" food?
@@heruhcanedean bro each culture has different ways. This video was about doing it wrong ways to see what happens. Why ya so pressed about it.
@@heruhcanedean Yes
@@tylerlockett8606 I don't judge people for cooking their food the way they like to eat it. Make some mac and cheese with cheddar and American cheese, that'll get the Italians "pressed."
@@heruhcanedean I wish the Chinese would get mad at Italians for stealing the idea for noodles and cooking them different, taste of their own medicine.
The "unbelievable, man" after the alimony joke was the icing on the cake
Josh: "Tossing vs topping"
Trevor: *oh no*
"Trevor's not a lackey! He's a goon."
“Because he’s got weapons!”
I take a bite to check if the pasta is done. Much more accurate in my opinion
That's what I do, take a noodle out and eat it to see if it's done.
yeah i do the same
I used to do the same but then I would always end up eating all the pasta.
Yeah and you don't end up with pasta gunk on your wall
Yeah, just like a normal human being
Travor talking about not remembering his childhood is so relatable.
Working at Shakey’s pizza we would add oil to the pasta after it’s cooked in a separate container so the pasta won’t dry out. I do this at home so the leftovers aren’t crunchy.
I miss Shakey’s pizza, I went there a lot as a kid in the 80s. They all closed in my area long ago, though.
The idea of salty like the sea is for fresh pasta that you are cooking for like 30-60 seconds. It’s an inverse sliding scale of saltiness to cook time.
HOLD THE EFFING PHONE. Trevor’s got some pipes😨
fr!!
He must have training/practice. It’s too good.
Honestly I just want an excuse for a show of Trevor signing
@Jonathan Romano yeah they should definitely make him sing something
haha i noticed that as well.
Seriously, they need to make him sing more
11:14 As far as I know, the oil changes the surface tension and prevents too much foam from forming and boiling over and not intended to keep the pasta from sticking.
Thank you! This is what I was always taught growing up, salt so the pasta doesn't stick and oil so that the water doesn't boil over.
@@KiltedShepherd Adding oil also makes the pasta more slippy which could make the sauce slide of the noodles strain, basically adding oil could make the "tossing" afterwards less saucy
However, not everyone have this problem apparently, so if oil helps you and doesn't mess up your meal, great, go for it.
However, it also prevents the sauce from sticking to the pasta!
@@redace4821 Lidia Bastianich has a couple of mantras and one of them is that you do not, not, not, put oil in the cooking liquid, and the reason is, as you say, it will make the pasta too slippery to hold the sauce. So from what I can understand, the question Josh put should have been to not oil the water, because, as I understand it, Italian cooks generally wouldn't.
The vast majority of people who put oil in the water do it because they think it keeps the pasta from sticking together. I have never once heard someone say they put oil in to stop foaming. So this isn't really the answer for most people.
Not to mention, it actively makes your finished dish significantly worse because the sauce slides off your noodles. It's not that hard to just keep an eye on the water or not fill the pot to the literal brim lol.
I laughed to hard at Trevor’s alimony joke…. Literally snorted out loud. Haha 😂
"Am I the gross one in the crew?" well, you see, trash raccoon...
Raccoon*
Raccoons are called trash pandas not trash raccoons
I'd love an episode on scrambled eggs. One of the first things I learned to cook, but suddenly one day every food tuber (including my beloved Babish) starts telling me i'm making them wrong because I salt before cooking. Claiming that if you salt first it you'll wind up with tough eggs. I call BS.
I never had a problem that I noticed.
I call bs. I had a heard from a food scientist that adding salt before whisking the eggs is best because the salt will help break down the egg membranes and it will all blend up better. Lol I always add it first too.
@@hannahsmith296 That's why guys like Harold McGee that actually test this stuff out are good.
Oh, I'd never heard not to salt first! Now I really want a Myth Munchers on eggs.
I feel like ever since Gordon Ramsay made scrambled eggs, everyone suddenly had their own hot take on how to "actually" make scrambled eggs like they were some gourmet dish lol
The thing about oil in the pasta water, is that (especially if you've got quality pasta that's been passed through a brass die) it stops it from holding onto the sauce as easily. It doesn't "make the sauce slide right off" like some people will tell you - but it does seem to stop the rough texture on the outside of the pasta from being quite so rough, and doesn't let it cling to the sauce as thoroughly.
Me, an adult, who didn't know you were supposed to salt the water for flavor to the pasta. I just thought some people only added salt because they thought it made the water boil faster. In conclusion, I have not been salting my water. (Though if I'm eating butter noodles I do add salt after cooking)
It's actually the opposite. Salting raises the temperature at which water boils, so it would boil slower. So it does contribute to the cooking process as well, since the water will be hotter.
But yes, it's also for flavor.
"Am I the gross one of the group?!" Josh, buddy. That's one of those things where, like...if you have to ask...😂😂jk man
Yep, if you have to ask you already have the answer. 😄
Trevor quietly being wolverine in the corner is amazing 😂 *whispers* "I am Logan"
“What do you wanna do for eight minutes?” sounds like the opening line to a video you can’t watch on UA-cam.
Mythical Josh: we’re not trying to have all of the Italian grandmothers yelling at us…. My Italian grandmother: what are they doing to that spaghetti?!
The whole myth of the oil preventing sticking is when it sits for a few mins OUTSIDE the water.. not in. But salt does that too
Yeah I only used oil to keep it from boiling over when I wasn’t paying attention to the pot
The sauce sticks better to the pasta when you don't put oil in the water.
You only need to add a couple of drops to break the surface tension, it helps to prevent the water from boiling over not stop the pasta from sticking
@@anufoalan you can literally just tilt your pot lid and put a wooden spoon between lid and the pot
@@aleksik34 Or use a bigger pot and more water.
@@AdamFloro exactly
@@cellphone3452 yes
Josh: (Trying to do the outro)
Trevor: (Almost dies trying to stand on two feet)
One time it would be funny to see Rhett or Link come in when Josh yells clean up. 😂
I cook my pasta in the tears of my enemies. Perfectly salty.
Now that's my kinda pasta
Grow up, your parents aren't your enemies, they wish you good
Not all parents.
I cook my pasta in my own tears. Saves on the water bill.
Trevor being wolverine off to the side the whole time is just XD hilarious XD
Y’all Nicole looks absolutely glowing in this episode, so happy for her!!
i feel like whenever you cook pasta with oil; the pasta sauce (unless its like a oily sauce like shrimp scampi) doesnt stick to the noodles as well. i specifically enjoy my noodles with lots of sauce so thank you guys for confirming this haha love yall
The journey Vi's face goes on between being declared Josh's cut-man and being told to cut him is gold.
The oil is for larger pastas like ravioli or some tortellini. That's the only time I use oil in any pasta water. You also should undercook the pasta by a minute prior to tossing it in the pan with the sauce to finish the cooking process.
Nerd
@@donvito5647 not sure why your comment made me laugh so hard but thanks!
him: says the name vincenzo isnt a good first name
my italian family: *holding baby vincenzo* "am i a joke to you"?
I just want to be friends with Josh and cook with him like once or twice a week. I don't need to get paid, I'll do prep. I need this chaotic energy in my life
My 4-year-old granddaughter calls her chopsticks “noodle clippers”.
I read "4 year old grandma" the first time because everyone seems to talk about Italian grandma spaghetti.
Your 4 year old granddaughter is sharp.
I like it!
Yesssss!
That's because they ARE.
It's so oddly validating to have every preference on how you personally cook your pasta confirmed superior by the Mythical Kitcheneers
"Why is it on the big hole?" They all ask in panicked unison 😂😂😂😂
0:46 whenever I'm making pasta now, I remember Josh's mini-rant about Olive Garden not salting their water, and although I've never noticed a difference, I always do it now. 😂
Dude, I didn't even notice Trevor behind Josh at the beginning until he jumped out 😆
I feel like in the last year Josh's talking speed has increased tenfold. Which is a feat on its own.
And volume and un-funniness
The Mythical Kitchen Team always feels like a family, but the parents and kids vibes in the last test are especially strong
Thank you Kitcheneers for telling me to continue cooking pasta exactly the same way as I always have
the fact that Vi is already such a part of the team shows how good that work environment must be.
Honestly in all of Mythical you can see how great the work environment is. The new people immediately feel like they've been a part of the family forever
Never knew the Mediterranean has so much parmesan in it.
the Romans weren't great at keeping their warships afloat...
@@just83542 lol I like it
I absolutely love this crew. Y’all have great chemistry and it shows.
While their conclusions matched what I expected, I personally prefer Topping over Saucing for noodles because of the following reasons:
1) People can choose whatever sauce to noodle ratio they want
2) You can always mix and wait a minute for them to absorb if you prefer saucing anyways… you can’t unmix
3) You can reheat the sauce and noodles separately so as not to overcook the noodles, or portion your noodle cooking so you always have a fresh batch. (I like to cook a big pot of sauce when making it and think it reheats well)
4) If people go sauce heavy, extra noodles can go to buttered noodles.
It doesn’t help that most people I know overcook their noodles when they saute as they think you have to cook it again in the sauce…
I personally prefer tossed, but these are all excellent points!
as an Italian I choose:
-boiling water
-salted
-without oil
-tossing
Live with a Sicilian and can attest to all of the above
I’m not Italian....but I grew up in Sardegna. I also agree
Tossing? Are we talking about pizza?
No because an actual fight between Jake and Josh would be the only youtube wrestling match i would watch. I’ve seen those lifting videos Josh posts on Instagram. I believe this would be an amazing match
@@Creature0022 drake and josh*
@@isacglenn5811 idk where my mind went sorry im an idiot sometimes lol
Josh would absolutely wreck Jake
I would pirate the fight and then donate the ppv fee directly to mythical kitchen.
This episode gives me 4 college students in a Saturday night trying to cook vibes 😂
When I noticed the spaghetti was still on the cabinet halfway through Josh and Vi's second segment xD
tell me why i didn’t see trevor standing behind josh until he turned around 😭😭
Your vision is based on motion, like T-Rex.
I did the same thing lmao he startled me 😭
same lmaoooooo
Mythical Kitchen: (throws pasta against the wall and insults the name Vincenzo)
Italians: *So you have chosen violence*
I’ve never identified with anything more than that rogue, lonely noodle chillin on the cabinet through 3/4 of the episode.
Trevor is slowly becoming just as chaotic as Josh. Soon he’ll be showering in the sink
This video just makes me want to eat pasta for breakfast
This isn't a thing already?
You just gave me a good idea. Time to go make spaghetti
Do it. I did -- macaroni elbows with chorizo, carnitas, bacon, and eggs with queso blanco. You can be a champion too.
It's currently 10:22 and I'm seriously considering making pasta... bc i can...
@@chaiky6556 sameeeee
12:43
wouldn't be surprised if he names his 2 children tony and chachere
I LOVE Myth Munchers! Thank you for continuing to provide entertaining and useful content!
Him: “I’m having a great time!”
Her: “Good for you!” 😂
One point FOR topping vs tossing is preservation (cooling in fridge). Putting tossed pasta in the fridge results in harder pasta and less flavor when reheated together. Separate it's easier to maintain its flavor, reheats better, and the pasta stays fresh longer. I learned this when I had to food prep.
As a broke college student who lives off pasta, I can definitively say that you boil the water first, put some salt in the water, ditch the oil because it's a waste of money, and sautee the thing so the flavour is more uniformed. This is experience speaking. Not opinion. AND I WAS RIGHT!!!
Bravo! Oil not only it's a waste of money, it also prevent sauce from properly sticking to the surface of the pasta.
@@fusadiluna Yeah, I get that. I used to put a little bit of olive oil after boiling so the noodles don't stick together, but the sauce just wouldn't stick to the noodles. It was a pain in the ass to deal with.
@@MonkeBrain07 exactly! The solution is cooking the pasta as last step, so you can drain it and toss it directly into the sauce. Perfection would be drain it one or two minutes before the pasta is cooked and let it spend those two minutes into the sauce, so that they can really become like one thing. Always save some pasta water if everything became to dry.
@@fusadiluna Huh. That's actually a really good idea. Might have to try that out later. The starch should make the sauce thicker. A bit of green bell pepper would go well with that.
Everyone is absolutely glowing this episode. Or maybe I’m also eating pasta while watching this. I am a happy boy watching my happy friends
As a celebrated spaghetti eater for over 30 years, we tend to make a huge amount, and since we add a lot of meat over the course of cooking salt really isn't needed to much. But as a tip we make a lot of pasta and when you drain a lot of pasta and let it sit around it will start to cool and stick. Mix in a little sauce and the pasta will be easier to dish out, I suppose if its just a marinara sauce, consider adding some olive oil. If you want real advice on cooking pasta experience is the best but tasting it a few minutes to when its done is honestly the best method I like. Also we tend to just top sauce and then mix.
I’m sorry the video is super important but can we talk about how gorgeous Nicole looks. She looks amazing!!
Yes dude check out her wedding photos on Twitter!! She's straight up slaying, and her husband is quite possibly the most beautiful man I've ever seen.
I love the fancy episodes where she is just there wearing an evening gown absolutely glowing whilst dealing with Josh and his chaotic energy. Idk how she does it!
But have you seen daddy josh tho
Yes!
Came here to look for this comment, she looks gorgeous and I love that outfit like way too much
Struggling to deal with the fact that I would eat dry pasta as a kid, and still do, and I had no idea that it was a stereotype
I've never eaten salted spaghetti noodles, as far as I know. We just boil the water, strain it, and plate it and then put sauce on top. It's up to the eater whether or not they mix the noodles with the sauce afterwards. For leftovers, we mix the sauce and noodles together.
Trevor and V are so freaking cute I love them so much, them both putting uncooked pasta in their mouth and acting Italian was beautiful
WHY DID IT TAKE 30 SECONDS FOR ME TO REALIZE TREVOR WAS RIGHT BEHIND JOSH THE WHOLE TIME OMG
That’s some “gurd spugurder”
I really like these Myth Munchers episodes.
I cant! The noise Trevor made when slipping absolutely killed me XD
All four of them together is AWESOME!!! More like this, please!!!
20:27 when josh said unboiled i thought he meant raw, crunchy pasta
Again, I feel like they could do a second episode of the same dish. Spaghetti vs fettuccine vs shell. Dry basil in sauce vs fresh basil garnish. Parmesan vs Romano vs asiago. Sauteed garlic vs fresh vs roasted vs the abomination that is powder.
I feel like garlic powder gets unfairly dunked on due to people using it as a replacement for actual garlic, when it shouldn't. I feel garlic powder can be used to enhance the depth and 'umami-ness' of a dish or in conjuction with fresh garlic to further enhance garlic flavor.
@@redSUPERMAN2 Big facts.
@@redSUPERMAN2 also garlic powder (or garlic salt) is a necessary component to a quesadilla with jack cheese and hatch chilies
Powders are important and valuable under the right circumstances, punk!
I didn't even notice Trevor at the background, he blended so well.
Forget being boss/junior colleague, forget being friends, forget being a couple, at this stage, josh and Nicole are 100 percent siblings for life, and I'm here for it 😂❤️
I just lost it when Trevor fell at the end. Legit I cant tell if it was real or not
I bust out laughing too 😂 I think it was real! It looked like Trevor pulled out the bottom drawer and stood on it to be in frame, but leaned forward and it closed right under his feet
Right I was dying😂😂 I hope he’s ok, but like y is no one talking about this😂
We’re not talking about Trevor singing -
That felt like a Josh moment, but it was Trevor. My brain doesnt compute but I am here for it lol
It was beautiful!
It was so good!
Seriously, when's the full concert?
My Italian grandmother stirred a little sauce into the main pasta bowl. Each person then gets their own pasta and sauce to get their preferred amount and the pasta won't even stick together the next day as leftovers. Leftover sauce is stored in a separate bowl from the pasta to keep it from disappearing into the noodles.
Trevor falling at the end had me crying for 10 minutes
I wish they would have looked at boiling the pasta in less water, as seen the good eats reloaded Pasta episode
Josh: I don't want to offend Italian grandmas
also Josh: calls pasta noodles, like it is the same thing
Finally someone in the comments with brains!
"Big hole always, that's what my daddy told me"
JOSH NO 😂😭
I think the salt factor depends on what sauce you're using for your pasta and the consistency of that. Like maybe you want to salt heavily when you're having a heartier, meatier, and possibly blander sauce. And for something light like pesto, you'd do a light amount of salt since the flavor would really shine through.
Trevor: No! I think that’s ridiculous
Everyone named Vincenzo: 😢
im surprised you didnt cook a pot of spaghetti with Tony C's water
Trevor singing so beautifully and then Nicole just being DONE 🤣🤣
Completely with Nichole and the list on this one. Great job guys and gals!
I appreciate Josh's His Dark Materials reference with the Baby names.
Absolutely loving this series, the fried chicken episode made me finally season my cast iron skillet and start using it as my main skillet
Gotta love the dynamic between the kitchen crew
Trevor!!! U falled down n went boom boom! 😭😭🤣🤣🤣 I've replayed that an embarrassing amount of times 🤣🤣🤣
