It's so funny that Babish did a Botched episode since his original carbonara wasn't "authentic" enough, and now here he is, throwing caution to the wind with all these carbonara riffs. No fear of judgmental Italian commenters.
Looks like he is deleting comments
@@kristinehansen.
Kinda doubt it. Odds are it's the CZcams algorithms deleting them. They tend to filter out specific words and auto-delete comments.
@@Jason_Ultimate maybe. Just lots of popular comments fram Italian people.
I can already hear Vincenzo's cringe lol
Once you've proved you *can* do it right, you have more freedom to do it however you want
"Cheese cheese cheese, I love the cheese, I'm a cheesy boy" -Thomas Jefferson
You've well and truly earned your like today, Babby.
He should start a miniseries called "Will it Carbonara"
As a man with 100% Italian heritage who has lived in Rome, I give Babish completely culinary freedom to offend my people
I value you immensely as an Italian who isn't so full of themselves about food
Are the Italians really offended by "bad" recipes of Italian-inspired food? I only ever see this type of comment where they're either joking about it or support it.
@@cam4636 I sent an Italian girl a picture of Spaghetti I made and she was not impressed.
@@TheGuyWhoIsSitting LEAVE HER!!
@@cam4636 Few unironically really offended if you dare to make a spin of their traditional cuisines even just adding one extra ingredient. Pretty hypocritical when in Italy alone there are dozens of variations of the same dishes. Borderline xenophobic imo.
Best you can do it laugh and ignore them.
This video is the perfect mix for generating views; both from making delicious and easy recipes, and creating inevitable controversy from angry italians by calling them 'carbonara'.
Not only angry Italians, there are more of us all around the world
I knew as soon as i started watching that there would be some angry idiots shouting "impure!", and "its not carbonara". It always makes me laugh when food purists do this. Especially as they have no valid argument. But , I was pleasantly surprise that most comments are positive.
Not sure about the macaroni version, but the blender idea is def one i will try.
Well the valid argument is that there is a dish called pasta alla carbonara and there are specific ingredients for it. If there is something else in the dish or something is missing, it can't be called pasta alla carbonara. As simple is that.
I'm not Italian and I'm also angry.
@@mauroj28 seek therapy
Now THIS feels like old-skool Babish, "here's a thing, let's see all the ways we can push it to teh very edge of still technically being the same thing"
Gotta embrace the chaos of "carbonara is just pasta made with breakfast foods, anyway here's my denver omelette carbonara"
Like many villain stories this one started meaning well. The classic "villain is the hero in his mind". In the second act we see his decline, when compromised wrong choices start to lead to a dark path that might still be redeemable.
Alas, in the third act the steep fall into madness and pure evil is on full display when wrong turns taken lead to absolute unrestrained carnage.
Wut.... Oh come on I like macaroni and cheese done professionally and this proves it
First dish: Masterwork
Second dish: Vegan Options = Excellent
Third dish: Oh... oh no... no, No, NO. NO! It felt like watching someone go mad. :P
@@joshrzepka4139 No worries mate, I would happily eat all three dishes. Even the third one. But my Italian food superiority complex wouldn't let me not make fun of him.
Fun fact, I actually used the blender method last time I made carbonara. It just works perfectly. :D
wow that is a fun fact. i'm so amused by that fact. thanks for bringing the fun
5:59 Possibly the most eloquent statement from one of our nation's founding fathers.
Chef Luciano Monosilio may be crying right now but I'd still happily eat all those dishes with relish. Especially the mushroom version. I've used the blender trick before when I want an almost whipped, very light cheese sauce for certain dishes, it works well.
I see someone else that watched Alex' dried pasta series
Yeah it looks amazing!
@@ScareBarley Busted eh!? 😆
> Chef Luciano Monosilio may be crying right now
Oh no, whatever shall we do? Surely we can't disappoint chef monosilio!
i feel like relish might be a strange addition to carbonara
Mushroom carbonara just sounds delicious. I’m going to try that this weekend. Thank you, chef!
not a chef
it does not
My housemate always makes carbonara with mushroom and spinach (but also bacon) because she is near terminally low in iron
I made this last night. I didn't have miso paste but soy sauce is a substitute. I will definitely be making it regularly. It's absolutely delicious.
I don't think he ever appreciated being called a chef.
Thank you for doing the vegan experimentation. I love carbonara but am violently intolerant of egg yolk and am delighted that the vegan egg substitute works.
Serious question - was it not an oversight for him to use standard pasta? Surely that has egg yolks in it?
@@FumBingerer Store-bought pasta doesn't have egg in it (check the ingredients on the box to make sure).
@@FumBingerer Most pasta does not have egg. Egg noodles are usually labelled, and they do have egg.
@@FumBingerer Dried pasta usually only has flour and water. Fresh pasta might have egg as a binder but that's not what Babish used.
Before watching the whole video... Desert Carbonara should be easily doable and technically accurate
I mean it would just be a riff on bread pudding wouldn't it?
There's an old Bon Appetit video where Sohla makes a dessert carbonara
What would you think to substitute for instead of pasta?
@@jasonbonham2057 theoretically you could make a chocolate pasta by making a different sort of dough, maybe that'd be worth trying
@@jasonbonham2057 I mean at base pasta doesn't really have a flavor, and some cultures put chocolate and/or sugar on rice so it's entirely possible to just use the regular pasta
The theme song for basics makes me beyond happy. Watching basics during the height of the pandemic in 2020 was literally the only thing that gave me peace. Now the theme is a beautiful nostalgic sound and i love it.
I've been making mac and cheese "carbonara" for years. I love it!
Trying it tonight. Wish me luck!
I made in a microwave with a whole egg and the sauce didn't break I was very impressed
Makes me think of schnitzel. I make schnitzel with pork, but the prep and cooking method works with theoretically anything. Used fish, sausage, chicken, beef, heck I could probably make fried ravioli schnitzel if I wanted to (may actually have to try that later...)
Sliced eggplants!
Fried ravioli is a thing sssssomewhere in the US, either Boston or Chicago
@@TheNomnomnommer they call it toasted ravioli but it is a thing in st. louis
The original German word just means "cutlet". So yeah, you can make any kind of cutlet you want. Even breading is optional (in German Naturschnitzel "natural cutlet") when you get down to it.
Funny that you mention sausage
Because the east german version of "Jägerschnitzel" (which is actually a schnitzel with a creamy mushroom sauce) is a thick slice of Jagdwurst (a cooked sausage containing chunks of lean pork) that is breaded, fried, and served with noodle and "tomato sauce" (actually watered-down ketchup with onions and thickened with a roux).
Literally perfect timing, I was grating parmesan cheese when i got this notif, thank you Babish
My brain totally stalled, because it's 8:30 in the morning for me
Graded Cheese Types + Butter + Pealed Shrimp + String Noodles (or on rice) + Lime... ... ... Heavenly.
222 likes and 2 comments wow
So, were you just grating parmesan cheese for the heck of it? Just casually?
I just stumbled across this guy and he's quickly becoming one of my favorites. I love that he show mistakes and how to correct.
I was so close to closing out the video at 2:57 to search for a vegan carbonara recipe, but two seconds later, I was met with a beautiful recipe I will be cooking today!! Thank you for incorporating more recipes for vegans!
The reply above is a scam. Don't trust it.
As an Italian, I actually find spins and novelty on traditional recipes to be interesting.
That´s the spirit. Every traditional recipe started as a spin of another recipe, so...
Dottore? ma che curioso trovarla qui
"This time im making sure im using exactly half a pound so we don't have any more embarassing *pasta pullout* situations"
6:33 is an Adam Ragusea-level sponsor transition. Well done.
What's an Adam Ragu sauce?
I love that you're making carbonara again, your recipe from your master of none video has been my favourite meal for years!
It’s been a joy watching your channel over the years and it’s been wonderful to see how it remains the same but evolves over time. The additions of other food personalities has been wonderful. Just wanted to give a quick thanks to all the peeps and the effort that goes into all these videos!
The true essence of cooking is taking what you have learned from making other dishes and then making something that is your own. It doesn't have to be something mind-blowing or original, just your own take on the foods that you've experienced.
Oh how perfect I've been binging Basics with Babish since yesterday
I see what ya did there. 🤣
Haven't you basically been binging with babish?
@@Luffy-su1ho indeed i have Luffy
Well what about basing the binging with babish?
Love the vegan recipe! Definitely trying it this weekend. Thank you!!
Plan was to make carbonara tonight, will definitely remember to pull out the blender
Just not traditional
@@kerittheone5160 yup but I believe it’s in spirt with Italian cooking either way
@@kerittheone5160 "Traditional" carbonara is less than 100 years old, in Italian years that's yesterday's leftovers
So this looks awesome! Definitely gonna try the vegan one too. Love mushrooms and might be *slightly* healthier? Any idea how long making the sauce bases ahead of time would keep?
No stream tap to retry
I’ve been making it this way for the past few years and it works great 👌🏻👌🏻
Speaking as a mushroom forager, your supposedly hen-of-the-woods (grifola frondosa) mushrooms look an awful lot like pleurotus ostreatus (oyster mushroom) to me, having rounded caps rather than wavy ones.
Yeah definitely look like oyster
As a kind of mushroom forager myself, I can confirm that they're definitely not liberty caps.
Came here for this. Totally oyster and not hen.
Also maitake would have been a better choice.
the babish has been busted
Chill vibes after a slightly chaotic morning. The timing was perfect.
The pre-emulsify is definitely going into my future carbonaras. Brilliant.
“No stream
Tap to retry”
So I’m not alone
When Babish said you could make a carbonara out of anything I thought "What about mac & cheese?" and lo and behold he made mac & cheese. Gotta try this sometime.
"Cheese, cheese, cheese. I love the cheese. I'm a cheesy boy." ~ Thomas "Cheesy Boy" Jefferson
When you think about it, this technique is the fool proof version of Luciano Monosilio's technique. Same way you would use the blender technique to make hollandaise instead of using a bain Marie (double boiler). Well done Babish, i'll give it a try!!
I really appreciate when you put the ad right at the start instead of burying it. Makes it easier to skip ;)
Your recipes are contagious AF!
I use techniques I've learned from the Italian cuisine almost everyday when cooking. So while it isn't carbonara, you can make tons of dishes using the techniques
My twin is vegan, but I'm specifically *not* going to send them this just so I get the opportunity to surprise them and make them this :)
That's so cute!
Hope it goes well :)
i've lost count how many times i revisited this video, ty so much
Holy carp this works so well! I'm making mac and cheese this way from now on.
“No Stream Tap to Retry” 😭😭😭😭
I wish everyone had a nearby Kendall.
Been watching your channel for a while. But I gotta say, nothing feels better than seeing that even you cannot transfer pastas without some falling out on the stove. Lov u dude !
You did this one definitely better than the one I saw in the other video, there is no comparison. BRAVO !
Yum love all the versions, I think Mac and cheese would be my favorite because it’s Mac and cheese
consider using pink oyster mushrooms as a bacon replacement as well! i use them with eggs sometimes, they taste remarkably similar to your standard ham steak
Too easy! Love it 🙌
cavatappi for mac and cheese is a game changer, Single noodle is enough for a bite, holds sauce better than basic elbows, it's fantastic.
Please do the Italian Beef or Cola Short Ribs from ‘The Bear’!
*It's all fun and games until Carbonara becomes Carabiner.*
Yes pls 🤤🤤🤤 my favorite Italian dish. So simple but so delicious
It seems by the comments that some people have watched this. Wondering why mine says, “No stream Tap to retry” and it doesn’t work 🤷🏽♀️
Alex (French guy cooking) did an episode involving Carbonara and went through an entire recipe. It looks luxurious. Just figured I'd recommend you try that recipe (Luciano Monosilio) for yourself. It's more of a modern Carbonara with a silkier sauce.
Great video though man, I'll definitely try the tactics you used here!
As an Italian, from Rome, I approve. I'm sure any of those dishes would satisfy me greatly. Love it, and I'll give it a shot
Carbonara is my all time favorite pasta! Gonna have to try those tasty variations!
great transition into the ad at the end!
This is so chaotic I love it
He's gonna need simply safe for the Italians after this video 🤣
Amazing that you doy most favorite dish ever, love you amd your videos✌️💗
Carbonara is my favourite dish, thank you!
As guanciale (or pork in general) is not common here, one of my favorite replacements is merguez sausage. Result has a very special meaty spiciness to it, highly recommended :)
Andrew's gonna need that security system when the Italian's come looking for him.
Thank you for the vegan option! It looks delicious.
It’s not playing?? :o
I could use a little foolproof in my life! You had me at vegan…the meat-n-cheese-laden creations look pretty crave-worthy too😋 🍻
Perfect timing since my husband has been in a mood to make it lately 🙂
That looks beautiful 👌
Something is wrong with the video it keeps saying “no stream tap to retry”
Is the video not playing for anyone else? It just says ‘no stream tap to retry’
Same
@@chronic_bronchitis ok glad it’s not just me
Mine says “no stream tap to retry”
Same for me
It played fine for me, but I didn't try to view it right after it was uploaded.
Add soy sauce to the mushrooms for more rich saltiness. Thanks for another great video.
*That's cool!*
Some Italians would have added bacon to the egg and cheese mixture altogether.
I don't think I can make this. I don't have a "nearest Kendall" in my kitchen.
Use what(who) you have available. The home cooks' motto.
Those looked like blue oyster mushrooms rather than hen of the woods. Looks great though
I needed this video two days ago when I made carbonara 😩
ohh i love that shallow white bowl!
Hit up ☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️I have something for you
“No stream, tap to retry”
Got that same thing as well.
Mine says no stream
Killer soundtrack besides the mouth watering recipies!
Thank you
No stream Tap to retry
I get the same thing
Video isn’t working
Thank you so much for the vegan option too
Where can I find those plate/bowls?
they look awesome
I feel like I'm getting pranked... vid won't load but everyone else commenting has clearly been able to watch?
Vegan carbonara 🤤
Hi Vlad hope your wife is ok
I just subscribed today. I can’t believe it took me so long! I love your content! A soothing baritone, a dash of humor, easy to see and follow and hear recipe, and TONS of realism (accidents, reminders, friendly notes, etc.). No one holds a candle to you!
I never felt confident in my own cooking, even though I can make simple things enough to fill a month of something new every day. But as we all know, you can only make chicken, beef, steak, fish, etc in so many ways, and slowly you get bored! So many delicious and easy recipes, I can’t wait to bring them to my table!
Thank you for all you have done so far, and I can’t wait to see more!! ❤️
Can we make a carbonara with no egg? For folks with egg allergies
Hey Babish, thx for your videos, it helps me get through tough times, i just dont know what to do... 😕
I'd love to see you make Sequin Milkshake and Bow-Tie French Fries from SpongeBob SquarePants
when was that?
@@nymphicus404 the pretty patty episode
It was mentioned in brief during the pretty Pattie’s episode, with Squidward and Mr. Krabs mocking SpongeBob’s innovations by suggesting sequin milkshakes and bow tie French fries as other additions to his pretty patty creations. I’d definitely be curious to see how Babish can make these novelties vaguely edible though lol
@@darkninjafirefox ah
@@darkninjafirefox I remember
Saw this video and immediately went out to buy mushrooms. The vegan carbonara is incredibly delicious, such a fantastic recipe and was so easy.
not carbonara though
@@mryannickgilbert That’s your problem lol
wow. I first saw you in Architectural Digest and was so intrigued, I came to this channel. Cooking is sth I struggle with for years. Not that I totally despise it, but many associations, many stories later, I simply dislike it. I do appreciate that skill - that art - in other people, but seem to be unable to force myself to do it. Even though I know I should do more than eat pasta + canned corn for the third time in a week XD
And now, here, I feel there is a chance even for me. You make it look so.. normal. Like both the art and a thing available to lesser mortals :)
Thank you
@Babish Culinary Universe I like your approach to the vegan carbonara. I have someone that has a dairy allergy so they cannot have any cheese or any dairy. With that said, what would you suggest to substitute for the cheese part of the emulsion?
tbh I never have any parmesan around because its too expensive so I just use cheddar when I'm making a carbonara. it works well and gives that dish a sharp taste.
Why isn’t this playing?
Huh, I was planning to make carbonara tonight. What a happy coincidence!
Tried the blender method and it was PERFECT!! Thank you!!
I always add a little Dijon mustard to my carbonara sauce. Dijon has a way of making cheese taste cheesier
