  • @brixomatic
    @brixomatic Pƙed 3 lety +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:

      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.

    What a great summary of cooking Pasta, thank you for this video Vincenzo!
    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.
    Happy cooking...

    Vincenzo, can you please tell me what you mean by a large pot? What is the average size (or litres capacity) you use to cook the pasta?. Thanks!

      I typically use a pot with a capacity of around 5-6 liters to cook pasta. It allows enough space for the pasta to cook evenly. Happy cooking! 🍝😊

    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.

      That's wonderful to hear! 🍝🌿 Homemade sauce really elevates the flavor of pasta, and using real Parmigiano or Pecorino cheese will take it to the next level. Enjoy the journey of cooking and savoring authentic Italian flavors. Have a fantastic day! 👹‍🍳🇼đŸ‡č
