Hi guys! Me and the FoodTube family together with our friends the LV are here to help you guys out.
-
You've told us what your biggest cooking headaches are, so together we'll show you our secret tips and tricks, which will change the way you cook forever.
-
Here is Gennaro and his method for cooking perfect pasta.
-
People really get wrong how to make a pasta.
-
Pasta is so simple to cook.
-
You need that really large pan to cook pasta inside.
-
First, you need plenty of water.
-
And then the water had to be really babbling.
-
Look at that, the way they're babbling.
-
The pasta... you need to do bouncing, you need to move it around! Aaaah, freedom!
-
Next tip I'm going to give you is to use very, very good salt.
-
Don't go by those packets with salt.
-
So fine, that it looks likes dust or sand.
-
That is no good. Just give me about 10 grams for each of liters.
-
Look at the way the water is now, look at the way it's moving the water.
-
Water crawls out, see, goes a little faster.
-
The salt is inside when you grab a little bit of pasta.
-
Put them all together. There it goes. Keep it!
-
And just slowly, just gently,
-
started to press it gently, you can see... Look at the pasta the way it goes in.
-
Nicely, nicely. Don't worry, you won't burn it,
-
but don't put your hands inside because you'll burn it.
-
So the pasta... Look straight inside!
-
Now, you cover...
-
bring back to the boil, 10 seconds, remove it.
-
Look at that, look at the way it's bobbling.
-
Get a fork.
-
Stir it.
-
Because you don't want the pasta to get stuck.
-
And don't forget: on the side your packet of the pasta.
-
Initially say 8 minutes, 10 minutes.
-
But the Italian way, you want that pasta Al Dente – undercooked little bit.
-
Grab a little bit.
-
So when you put it inside your mouth,
-
you have to chew it longer.
-
While you're chewing longer, you taste the lovely sauce you put inside.
-
This is done. Look at this!
-
Look how wonderful it is.
-
A perfect pasta. Now let's serve it.
-
I've done a fantastic pesto early on,
-
and let me show you how to use it.
-
If you want to see my easy pesto recipe, just here is a box – click here!
-
You'll always need for a large bowl. It's about 1 tablespoon.
-
For 300 grams that would be enough.
-
You grab the pasta straight away or you drain it.
-
Look at that!
-
Just put them inside, this is enough.
-
Actually, I'll need a little bit more for me.
-
And don't forget to use the pasta water – pasta water, where the pasta has been dancing inside!
-
That is the best flavour. Also a little bit of salt as well.
-
See, just have a little bit, put it on top.
-
Stir it.
-
Okay, pesto, stir inside the pesto and let them algamate.
-
And when you pull the pasta you want to look nice, always stir it.
-
The fork inside, and give it a lovely lift.
-
Little Parmesan.
-
Little Basil.
-
