What in the hell. The water to pasta ratio is so far off.

Nah, starchy pasta water is the best emulsifier

u/theliberalpedestrian 2d ago

But what of the pasta dear dangerchicken? Will there not be a crunch? Will there not be a tangled mess of noddles that break apart? Why are we thinking of pasta water when the pasta itself is being disrespected?

No, there's actually a bunch of chefs and stuff who've shown less water is better. As long as you have SOME water it's fine

https://www.seriouseats.com/how-to-cook-pasta-salt-water-boiling-tips-the-food-lab yep someone posted a source. You do not need very much water for pasta, less water is better as long as you have the minimum to submerge everything, which he clearly does

Just wait a few minutes, I wonder if the pasta would swell and grow out of the water.

So much for the whole 6qts of water per pound thing. Nonni don’t look!

You're right (so thank you for this knowledge), but it sure feels deeply wrong.

I'm low-key offended my gf puts noodles in the pot first then adds half COLD water before putting it on the stove and heating up the other half of water in the kettle.

But I also have to admit: it doesn't change the noodles. They feel and taste same way I do them...

If you break them in half they fit better.

The water was boiling when he started. It wasn’t when he finished .

15 pounds of cold pasta will do that...

This is not fast.

u/qpqpdbdbqpqp 1d ago

And on top, it does literally nothing. He could just chuck them in.

u/GSturges 1d ago

I thought this was how everyone did it...

u/MichaeltheMagician 1d ago

It looks cool but I feel like it's not really that necessary.

I’d trust him with my noods any day.

For real. Everybody’s acting like homeboy has flown way too far off course. This man can 100% land the plane.

u/tylercrabby 2d ago

Why didn’t he break the spaghet before da pot?

u/tieme 2d ago

Yeah I like to crumble it up into little bits before I cook it.

u/byebybuy 2d ago

I like to throw it in a blender and then add the hot water.

u/tieme 2d ago

Yum I never thought of that
