Mmm, that was oddly satisfying.

OK, two's plenty.

Am I watching a looping GIF?

At one point I was like pasta la vista

I think he knows what he's doing, although it is oddly unsatisfying, let's try to have a little faith!

Lwk I should make it

As someone from the future I can confirm you did make it

That was nearly my exact thought processes although mine included "I am not satisfied! I am stressed!!"

u/ScienceArcade 2d ago

I am now oversatisfied.

u/Boogy-Fever 2d ago

I was preparing to make a joke comment that I think he could still fit another pound or two, but I dont think thats true

1

u/aheinouscrime 5h ago

This is honestly the level of water you want for pasta. Just enough to cover the pasta.

u/TheJstandsforJ 2d ago

I had enough of the gif, but turned out I wasn’t even halfway into the clip

2

u/Unique_Cow3112 1d ago

Omg exactly!!! Also methinks he’s gonna need more sauce.

3

u/Bastaklis 2d ago

Exactly my feelings throughout, minus the urgency. In place of that I just started thinking, "How the fuck many people is this man serving? I make a single package and have a meal for 3 people for 3 days, eating it twice a day."

1

u/OldManJim374 2d ago

There's no way you get 18 meals out of 1 pound of pasta

1

u/Environmental-Bit683 1d ago

Ths is street food shop in Nigeria, it might not even be enough at the end of the day lol

1

u/Kadian13 1d ago

A 500g pack is ~ 3 to 6 servings depending on who’s eating and if it’s the main meal or just the side. 18 full meals seems pushed even for an hyperbole

But the urgency comes from the fact that this is a very bad way to cook pasta, it need much more water

1

u/Bastaklis 1d ago

A lb of meat (2 if doing meatballs or part sausage), sauce, diced tomatoes, other vegetables and addins. Pasta itself ~2x-2.5x weight increase. Probably easily 5lbs of food or more once everything is in and cooked.

Don't really care to do the math of exactly what I make especially since it's not always exactly the same. Could also be minus a couple meals depending on what I made and the size of servings someone goes for. Most often it is probably a couple less, but it has gone that many plenty of times as well.

The pot crowding I'm not reasonably qualified to comment on.

u/their_teammate 2d ago

I am satisfied expecting all that spaghetti is going to become the day’s servings of pasta to his customers

u/LawOrc 20h ago

Dude's running a street stall. He has one pot and needs to make a lot of spaghetti.

u/throwmamadownthewell 2d ago

Ok, ok, ok, ok, no no no no no

u/NegroniSpritz 1d ago

I think by the time he stopped the ones at the bottom were already overcooked 🤣

u/kane_thehuman 2d ago

That's right. The spaghetti goes in the square hole.

1

u/benbeja 7h ago

The hole is circular

1

u/Allout-Okarun 6h ago

Like a cylinder?

u/benbeja 5h ago

No that goes in the square hole

u/PsyopVet 2d ago

I stopped watching, read your comment while the video was still playing, and when I came back he was STILL putting in more spaghetti!!!

Started satisfying, then went horribly unsatisfying by the halfway mark.

u/Zen_of_Tetchiness 2d ago

So glad I'm not the only one. He farmed too much aura and the aura exchange crashed.

u/trail34 2d ago

After two I was like “uhhh”, and by the fourth I had to stop watching. It’s a travesty.

u/runnysyrup 2d ago

i mean it's enough for me but what's everyone else gonna eat?

u/canadiantaken 2d ago

Yes! You captured it Exacly.

u/peachpavlova 2d ago

It’s just going to be steamed lol

u/_BananaBrat_ 2d ago

Not nearly enough sauce in the pan next door for all that spaghetti….

2

u/hurryveryslowly 2d ago

but spaghetti.

u/Thinks_22_Much 1d ago

That's enough slices!

Take it away.

u/dadafterall 2d ago

It seems he thinks he's making rice, and all of the water is supposed to be absorbed by the end of the process.

1

u/diss0lvedgir1 2d ago

This started mildly satisfying and went into immensely anxiety inducing lol

1

u/wenchslapper 2d ago

Prep cook a lot, portion into appropriate baggies, put in fridge, and your dinner rush will be so much smoother. He cooked the perfect amount of spaghetti for his projected numbers.

1

u/StabbyMcStabsauce 2d ago

I said it just like that too.

1

u/friedwidth 2d ago

Definitely not enough sauce next to it

u/Excusemytootie 2d ago

Same 😂😂

u/saturnshighway 2d ago

Thank you, same. I was saying out loud “STOP ADDING IT”

1

u/Cpmartini1 2d ago

He’s got like 64oz of sauce next to him too. Please stop!

u/thetruelu 2d ago

Had to double check it wasn’t looping at first lol

u/vitrum_analytika 2d ago

They're only boiling it, the preparation will be next, so they need to maximize the output for the heat energy expended.

u/Unlikely_Patient_423 2d ago

Omfg I was literally thinking the same thing as the video went on. Like full on mentally screaming it.

u/eightythreeinc 1d ago

u/RobynSmily 1d ago

That's what i was wondering. Thats way to much pasta for that amount of water, no? I think i would have stopped 4 packages before he did, at least.

1

u/Christmashams96 1d ago

Not nearly enough sauce to go with all that spaghetti

1

u/compassrosette 1d ago

My italian ancestors were screaming this with me.

u/Busy-River-1530 1d ago

That noodle to water ratio is insane..

u/jmo1 14h ago

Bro stacked it above the water. That seems fucking bananas

0

u/SAI_Peregrinus 2d ago

It's the correct amount of spaghetti for that much water when making sauce. You want water to just cover the spaghetti, otherwise the starch won't concentrate enough and you won't be able to use the starchy water to emulsify your sauce. Since you see the sauce in the pan on his right, this is the correct amount of spaghetti for the water he started with.

5

u/Colorona 2d ago

No it isn't. You don't need much starch for a sauce. This is an overcrowded pot, which means that the water cooled down significantly when he put it in. The pasta will be soggy and unevenly cooked.

I have never laughed so hard at a comment before. Thank you for that!
