Dear Italians and lasagna experts, I apologize for probably not making this the correct way. Please do not yell at me too much even though I might deserve it. Sincerely, a boy who has sensitive ears
Alvin, your production quality amazes me. I know for a fact how hard it is to make a good cooking video and you took it to another level. There must be an insane amount of work behind a video like this one and you seem to really care about all the little details in every single one you make. Hats off to you and congratulations on your beautiful channel.
I'm Italian and I'm amazed. That's not just one of the very BEST lasagna I've ever seen... he also made it by following one of the most traditional "ragù" (the red tomato sauce) recipes ever. It's the almost the same ragù recipe my father used to cook for Sundays' lunch using whole short ribs instead of grounded meat. Kudos to this great "italian" chef!
@@jheric0ol The lasagna pasta always need to be cooked in water before being placed in the baking pan with meat and cheese sauce. The lasagna pasta is like normal pasta.
@@jasonross7343 I was gonna say this sounds exactly like my dad. always starts cooking when its time to eat, and then keeps saying it will be ready soon
My daughter and I made this over spring break. Estimated amounts on what you did. Got it pretty close. Freaking decadent. Short ribs were a revelation. Sit time in the fridge was the icing on the cake. Congrats sir, this was amazing!
I have terrible insomnia and so many nights when I'm up all alone in a still house while everyone sleeps, Alvin's videos are the only thing that helps me nod off. Thanks for your amazing cook and relaxing work. You've created adult bedtime stories.
I made this for my boyfriends birthday last year. Now we're married. Thanks Al - making it again today, I will let you know in a year if its a boy or a girl ;) Edit (scince comments get lost sometimes): It's January now and I am 14 weeks pregnant
There's a lot about the "film-making" process of this video that I hope a lot more people can appreciate. 1 - The choice of no voice over, but just the most impeccable music selection paired with really crisp ambient SFX. 2 - The timing of the subtitles is just so perfect, as well as the humorous writing of them, itself. 3 - The gorgeous cinematography, lighting, colors; the use of super tight close-ups and mediums. 4 - And to tie everything together, the magnificent editing that encapsulates everything so well. Regardless of if one actually gets to taste the food involved or not, this is truly therapeutic viewing; whether through it's near perfect runtime, that allows one just about enough to sit back and relax, or through the combination of all the above elements, making for almost cinema like viewing 'for free'! Some of the very finest that TH-cam has to offer. Bravo, Alvin. :)
its very common among asian food youtubers!!! you should try and watch more, although a lot of them are based around either desserts or asian food, its still the same vibes
I highly recommend to take the sauce to the next level, buying 8-12 roma tomatoes and stewing them and blending them with some salt, sugar, and basil to create your own tomato base. Love the video!
I made this lasagna for valentines day and i was so so so happy with the result! It was the best one I've ever had in my life, thank you so much for the recipe and it was super relaxing to cook with you :)
@@starlsma2000 @Starlsma Wrote this as he was speaking but half way in I decided to type it then write it on my shitty old phone. Auto correct and grammar messed my hands up this bloody trash phone. Here goes everything: Friday 4 pm 7 ribs (beef), small cup of pancetta, 1 (big?) Carrot, 1 red onion (also called brown onion), 1 cucumber. Add oil a moderate amount. Then cook the vegetables separately. 1 table spoon of tomato paste. He adds in wine but im not using it (religion). Something like 2 jars of tomato sauce. Adds the ribs then puts it in the oven. I assume its low heat. Friday 8 pm. Takes it out. Gets rid of the bones in the ribs. Adds 1/4 of a chunk of cheese mozzarella or cheddar (very likely white cheddar) by grating it. Lets it cool down near the window. Ok nvm its Pecorina (romano) cheese but its your choice to pick one. Puts the pot in the fridge for 3 days. Sunday 10 am: heats small block of butter in a pot. Medium stove on full heat. Adds 3/4 of a (small bowl) bowl into the pot. 500 ml uses half so 250 ml of milk. Stir quickly whilst adding de milk. Adds nutmeg+pepper. Whisk then add 1/4 grated cheese.

Place all 11 eggs on the flour then adds sugar or salt (not specified), pops eggs then mixes eggs separately then with the flour. Proceeds to cover it all with flour the beat the sh8t.... jk he massages it into a ball. Cuts balls in half. Uses tool called pasta roller machine to thin the ball he straightened. After doing it a few times thin enough he takes it out and cuts it into rectangular shapes. Places it into a pan of hot water for maybe 1 min or less. Im guessing he uses the egg whites to brush on the pasta. Warms up both sauces (tomato and cheese). Gets tray and places in order of tomato sauce-pasta-tomato-cheese (sauce)-pasta-tomato-cheese sauce-pasta-lastly lots of cheese sauce. Wraps it then in de fridge it goes. Tueday 4pm Gets tray out then grates cheese on the lasagne (not too much). Place it in the oven. It should come out light brown.
This is one of the most relaxing videos I've ever watched. The thoughtful camera angles, color grading, beautiful sound textures, and choice of music made this an absolute treat for the ears, eyes, and soul. Wonderful work! I'm so hungry now. Edit: The part where you cut into the finished lasagna is nearly in perfect sync with the beat of the song, and that is so satisfying.
Alright, ive tried my best by watching the video to approximate a recipe guide for this amazing looking lasagna. I approximated ingredients amounts, but cooking times and exact temperatures are something i couldnt get from the video, so look up similar recipies for those(for the cheese sauce, look up bechamel recipies and for the finished lasagna look up lasagna recipes and use the relevant times/temps from those) Hoping i got this right, i'll definitely have to make this in the future. Meat sauce: 1 large white onion, chopped Equivilent ammount of celery and carrots, chopped Olive oil 6-7 beef spare ribs, bone in 1/2 cup of pancetta, diced 1 heaping tablespoon tomato paste Red wine, chateau fort lignac, pour around 3 seconds 2 jars tomato sauce Pecorino cheese 3/4 cup Cheese sauce: 2-3 tbs of butter 1 cup of milk 4-5 tbs of flour Pepper 1 tbsp of nutmeg 1/2 -3/4 cup of pecorino cheese Noodles: 11 eggs, whites removed 3-4 cups flour Salt Melted butter, or olive oil Cooking instructions: Brown beef spare ribs in a large pot with olive oil. Remove. In the same pot, add your pancetta and brown it. Chop one large white onion, and an equivilent ammount of chopped carrot and celery. In the same pot, saute with olive oil until softened. Add tomato paste, and stir. Deglaze with red wine, cook off the alcohol. Add jars of tomato sauce (or equivalent of homemade if desired) and spare ribs. Bake covered low and slow for a few hours, until the beef is fork-tender. Remove ribs to a separate dish. Remove the bones, and shred with a fork. Add the beef back to the sauce along with 1/2-3/4 cups of pecorino cheese. Cover and chill until needed. The next day, melt and brown the butter in a sauce pot. Add 4-5 tbs of flour and cook until it now longer smells raw (smells like cooked pie crust) Quickly whisk in milk (tip: cold milk, hot rue, no lumps) Add 3/4 cup pecorino cheese, nutmeg, and pepper. Cover and chill in the fridge until assembly. The next day, seperate the yolks and whites of 11 eggs. Pour 3 1/2 cups of flour on to a work surface, making a well in the center. Place the egg yolks in the center, lightly salting. Break the yolks wih a fork and stir gradually into the flour until you can no longer stir. From there, knead the dough until a smooth supple dough ball forms. Wrap in plastic and rest for around 30 mins to an hour. Divide the dough in half, and using either a pasta roller or a rolling pin, roll out each half of the dough thinly. (For a pasta roller, gradually roll from the thickest setting to the 2nd thinnest. For a rolling pin, roll until about 1/3rd to 1/4th of an inch). Cut into noodles appropriate for the size of pan you are using. Boil the noodles for a minute or two until they are al dente Lay them to the side and brush with olive oil. Assembly: Warm up both sauces in a low oven. Meat sauce first layer, then go noodle, meat sauce, drizzle cheese sauce until you reach the top noodle layer. Top with a thick layer of cheese sauce. Cover and chill overnight. Grate additional pecorino on top before baking, approx 1-1 1/2 cups. Garnish with parsley after baking.
@@mxthxisbetter6463 well, thats the annoying part. I didnt make this myself, this is purely my best guess of what his recipe is. Whatever flour is commonly used for lasagne noodles i guess.
Anyone else notice the music after the transition to the first evening? He went to play Zelda and comes back with a Zelda's Lullaby remix. Genius my man.
@@michaelhackman3195 oh I’m sorry I completely misread your comment. I thought you were asking what it was a remix of. I think he might have credited the person in the description, though if he didn’t, I don’t know
Y’all probably don’t see how much work and effort this took behind the scenes from cinematography and editing, keep in mind every shot he’s moving the camera and it is not easy to move the camera every time. I respect your hustle man keep it up ❤️❤️
not sure but it is possible he has multiple cameras and edited them together. im dumb so im prob wrong, but the effort he put in is still definitely alot
Oh how I miss these videos. Alvins episodes on Andrews channel are very nice, but this format with no voiceover and just the peaceful sounds of cooking and a bit of chill music is a whole different level of wholesome that I need back into my life!
i’ve been making the lasagna for years now, and it’s always been a hit in my family. it’s a holiday staple at this point, thank you for sharing your wonderful recipe!
I didn't intend to watch the entire video, but I was instantly drawn in by how well produced this video is. Major props to you, and your friends are very lucky
I watched the VOD of you reacting to it, I could only understand 30% of what you were saying (i took a few years of spanish) but it was hilarious! Thank you!
I feel like when Alvin goes to restaurants he takes a bite of food, smacks his lips a couple times and says..”it’s okay, but not...... ~ o l d ~ enough”
"I know it's weird, but I like talking to my food" No, I think it's sweet, in general if you treat everything as if it has feelings you will probably get better results because you take better care of whatever it is, it also makes this video a lot more interesting to watch
@@ellienorling4017 At what point is the meat sauce and cheese sauce starting to spoil? These ingredients are already 4 days old before he bakes the final product. At 3 days, I throw out leftovers for safety.
@@heresthething....4685 yesss meat sauce expires quickly we talking about 3 days, so good call. I wouldn't do this recipe because some ingredients would of expired when it becomes cooking time. I would rather slow cook lasgnana then do this.
@@heresthething....4685 short rib and cheese are high in fat which acts as a preservative, shelf life usually is a week. If you freeze it, about 3 months
This video i already a month old, so, I don't know if you'll see this. But I just gotta say thank you. I've been going through a weird little bit with how to move forward as a cook, and trying to make that my art and my career. This video has seriously inspired me though and it hurts to say that I can't fully relay exactly how much that means to me. Thank you.
Between the filmmaking/production skills, the chef skills, and the music taste, I am in art overload. This video is layered with beauty just like the lasagna
Alvin's videos are soooo calming and reaxing, i really love the vibes here so much, and the way alvin talks about everything his friends and life and stuff. also the talking to food thing is endearing, i really love this place
I mean this in the best way possible- I have terrible insomnia and can’t even take a nap without my heart feeling like it’s going to explode with anxiety. When I watch Alvin’s videos, I feel so peaceful and happy that I fall asleep and take a nap. That sounds like I mean the videos are boring. They are NOT boring. They are lovely, so soothing, so comforting. I could watch a million of these videos.
Agreed, you made a very nice ragu that would have been brilliant on its own or served with papadella. BTW I roll my pasta thinner and don't pre cook it, it cooks just fine in the sauce. Also I like to have thinner layers of the ragu as my pasta is thinner and have more layers, It gives it a lighter texture. Just personal pref, yours looks excellent.
I think this is my favorite food video on the internet, everything about it is so absolutely cozy and emits a comfy vibe, from the little commentary subtitles to the sounds Alvin makes in excitement, sasuga recommended section, you have struck gold, amazing work Alvin.
"A better cook could probably make it faster..." No, no sir... The time, energy and love that you put into your dishes makes you the BESTEST cook. Love your work, and always looking forward to new videos from you!
So a few things to point out :- 1. This is probably one of the most relaxing cooking videos I have ever seen 2. The captions are HILARIOUS and ADORABLE 3. The kitchen looks like it belongs on Architectural Digest 4. I cant wait to get my own apartment so i can cook while I drink wine and listen to music by myself
@@doctordoom02 I know! he claimed he burned the edges “a bit” but he burned them a lot and the cheese got too hard up top it seems. Pecorino actually its a bit stretchy when cooked properly. But I bet it was still super good.. way better than cheaper lasagna.
@@everythingyousayiscorrect first of all the last layer has to be covered with sauce, THEN you put parmigiano on it. Second: he added parsley. That's blasphemy for us. Third: he added "raw" parmigiano (or whatever it was, actually I doubt he used the real one) after cooked. The fourth: I don't remember it but if I re-watch I can. Plus: he didn't make it properly but I can accept other "poetry licenses" he used but stll they're aren't "canon". Anyway it probably taste good but good as my first lasagna when I began university, not good as my mom and grandma (and every other italian woman 😁) do.
@@dx87gaming31 it means tht by the time he made the lasagna, the lasgna as house warming gift for his friends new house , will become an old house by then
actually there is a common thought exercise among vegans about lasagna. Basically, if you are vegan and go to your grandma's and she offers a delicious vegetable lasagna but with cheese, because they didn't know that vegans dont eat milk products, would you refuse or eat it? many pragmatic vegans think it is best to eat it, because grandma made the effort even it is not perfectly vegan
Veganism isn’t about just eating something because someone made it for you. It’s an animal rights act, not eating anything from animals because we care for them. Also, vegans would get sick eating dairy again... especially if it’s something that already made them sick. It’s fair if someone doesn’t want to eat something that came from inside an animal.
One of the greatest food videos that I have ever seen. A wonderful reminder that cooking is not always about how quickly and accurately you can make something and hope that it comes out fine. Even with the editing, this is a perfect example of how much better something can be with a little more time, work, and passion. The same thing can apply to a miriad of other things. A truly spectacular video overall, something I have never thought I would have enjoyed this much. Never change your style.
Alvin, your videos are seriously THERAPY. The peaceful music, the scenes of nature, and most especially - your calming presence. The commentary is adorable, and the food, of course, makes the whole world wish they could smell and taste it. Honestly, though, I would watch your videos if you were building furniture or grooming dogs or reading the phone book :)
Es de las primeras veces q miro tus videos, en mi humilde opinion creo q retratas de manera fiel el sentimiento que poseemos las personas que disfrutamos y amamos cocinar. La musica, el hablar con la comida, ser criticos sobre nosotros mismos, pero haciendo todo con un amor y conexion mas fuerte. digamos casi en trance.
Alvin: “ I’ll steal a piece, i hope my friends dont mind.” If you actually give them the 100 hour lasagna with a missing piece and they mind... They are not good friends
I like coming back to casually watch these to chill, especially since Alvin's been on Babish so much lately I love watching the videos that are his roots.
rekt´d without a moments hesitation. To be a chef you need to have a stone cold heart to commit atrocities at any given moment, second thoughts and tentativeness can be the mistake that leads to your demise in this profession
Dear Italians and lasagna experts,
I apologize for probably not making this the correct way.
Please do not yell at me too much even though I might deserve it.
Sincerely,

It still looks great
*Lasagna*
DW Alvin, i think we'll be fine.... it's probably still a kicka** lasagna! :DD
As an Italian, this looks great. In Italy recipes changes wherever you go, so as long you don't say this is the og recipe you will be ok 😂
It is lasagna at the end of the day
The way he edits is therapy, the way he talks to his food is therapy. Food is therapy too. So thanks
100 hour lasagna = 5 hours cooking + 95 hours carefully placing camera, lights, composing shots and editing this incredible video.

Absolutely. The animation in Ghibli movie cooking scenes is God-tier animation. And Alvin's films give me the same warm, happy feeling.

At this rate, Alvin's going to be raising his own chickens and growing his own wheat soon for the 1-year lasagna.
Hopefully also making his own red wine for the sauce, I would definitely buy that!

@Slow Motion I agree! The flavour from a Mutti sauce bottle is exquisite!
The diced Carrots does the job of Sugar.
sugar and tomatoes dont belong together
@Slow Motion do you know how much it costs?
can we just appreciate the fact that he was wearing a white shirt and didn't get any sauce on it? that's skill.
i found that very impressive, considering that you can see every lil speck of anything on white shirts.
He probably has many white shirts
meanwhile me: wipes sauce on shirt by accident
@@sledgetable172 accident?
Its called growing up
My theory is that Alvin only eats every 100 hours, eating only coffee and brown butter until his meal is complete.
I think it’s brown butter with caffeine in it
That's like.......... Five days
Doctors hate him! see how this one man became immortal on 100 hour lasagna and caffeine!

Y’all probably don’t see how much work and effort this took behind the scenes from cinematography and editing, keep in mind every shot he’s moving the camera and it is not easy to move the camera every time. I respect your hustle man keep it up ❤️❤️
I noticed that as well. Cutting an onion probably took him 15 minutes lol.
yes, this is so true! i can't imagine how much patience went into this ❤
Yeah well, he does have the time while cooking it lmao. It came out fantastic
not sure but it is possible he has multiple cameras and edited them together. im dumb so im prob wrong, but the effort he put in is still definitely alot
I come for the filmmaking and stay 100 hours for the food
Oh how I miss these videos. Alvins episodes on Andrews channel are very nice, but this format with no voiceover and just the peaceful sounds of cooking and a bit of chill music is a whole different level of wholesome that I need back into my life!

Make me food
Alvin none of us are falling for the “I’m making this for my friends” every time. We know you just want an excuse to make these foods
Lol yeah
I enjoyed how this was like a cinematic experience, this had drama, suspense, some thrills.
It's a movie
Looks to me like it was shot in a murder house tbh
Between the filmmaking/production skills, the chef skills, and the music taste, I am in art overload. This video is layered with beauty just like the lasagna
Imagine spending 100 hours making the lasagna and just to give it to his friend, God thats so wholesome
There's nothing wholesome about the dough he made from over 1 million views.
He deserves every penny. Him making money off making awesome food content doesn't make this any less wholesome

Alvin every video: “I know its weird, but I like talking to my food”
Alvin's videos are soooo calming and reaxing, i really love the vibes here so much, and the way alvin talks about everything his friends and life and stuff. also the talking to food thing is endearing, i really love this place
therapy: expensive
alvin's cooking: free
I mean this in the best way possible- I have terrible insomnia and can’t even take a nap without my heart feeling like it’s going to explode with anxiety. When I watch Alvin’s videos, I feel so peaceful and happy that I fall asleep and take a nap. That sounds like I mean the videos are boring. They are NOT boring. They are lovely, so soothing, so comforting. I could watch a million of these videos.
yeah that crazy cuz i was like ight and literally took a nap idk if its from the video or not.
As an Italian, you don't have to apologize, you showed that lasagna much more respect any other lasagna ever was
Agreed, you made a very nice ragu that would have been brilliant on its own or served with papadella.
BTW I roll my pasta thinner and don't pre cook it, it cooks just fine in the sauce. Also I like to have thinner layers of the ragu as my pasta is thinner and have more layers, It gives it a lighter texture. Just personal pref, yours looks excellent.
@@Slainte-Mhath thicker cheese layers are always warranted imo, but that's the case for anything, not just lasagna

@@doctordoom02 I know! he claimed he burned the edges “a bit” but he burned them a lot and the cheese got too hard up top it seems. Pecorino actually its a bit stretchy when cooked properly. But I bet it was still super good.. way better than cheaper lasagna.
@@everythingyousayiscorrect first of all the last layer has to be covered with sauce, THEN you put parmigiano on it. Second: he added parsley. That's blasphemy for us. Third: he added "raw" parmigiano (or whatever it was, actually I doubt he used the real one) after cooked. The fourth: I don't remember it but if I re-watch I can.
Plus: he didn't make it properly but I can accept other "poetry licenses" he used but stll they're aren't "canon".
Anyway it probably taste good but good as my first lasagna when I began university, not good as my mom and grandma (and every other italian woman 😁) do.

*alvin spends 100 hours making a lasagna*
his friend: "sorry i forgot to tell you but i'm vegan" 🧍
"100 hour new friends"
Vegans never forget to tell you that they are vegan
@@leonharder4846 lol so true
actually there is a common thought exercise among vegans about lasagna. Basically, if you are vegan and go to your grandma's and she offers a delicious vegetable lasagna but with cheese, because they didn't know that vegans dont eat milk products, would you refuse or eat it? many pragmatic vegans think it is best to eat it, because grandma made the effort even it is not perfectly vegan
Veganism isn’t about just eating something because someone made it for you. It’s an animal rights act, not eating anything from animals because we care for them. Also, vegans would get sick eating dairy again... especially if it’s something that already made them sick. It’s fair if someone doesn’t want to eat something that came from inside an animal.

One of the greatest food videos that I have ever seen. A wonderful reminder that cooking is not always about how quickly and accurately you can make something and hope that it comes out fine. Even with the editing, this is a perfect example of how much better something can be with a little more time, work, and passion. The same thing can apply to a miriad of other things. A truly spectacular video overall, something I have never thought I would have enjoyed this much. Never change your style.
no cap my favorite part of the video is when Alvin ''makes excited Alvin noises'' and when the flavor ''intensifies''.
