I feel like Kendall is feeling more comfortable being in front of the camera suddenly and I’m excited for her because she’s such a delight. She and Alvin are a blast together too.
I think the "made pasta" here is the kind where you open a package and add it to boiling water (I do hope you have done that before or plan to at some point)
@@Straystar1235 wdym, you don't have a resident chemist to boil your water? What next, you're gonna tell me you don't have a resident physicist to drive your car, or a resident biologist to give you a bath?
I so enjoy the variety of personalities, it kind reinforces how all different kinds of people enjoy cooking. Such a joy to watch :) keep up the awesome work. :)
The channel has lost it's soul though. The charm of what made this channel popular is gone I wish he had created a 2nd channel for this content instead of bastardizing what made him famous.
i can't believe it's been two years since we successfully mastered ALL of the fundamentals! thank you, kendall, for making learning a joy every step of the way. i eagerly await more fundamentals to be discovered so we can continue to experience your artful teaching
Way back in the late 80’s The Olive Garden was more fancy. I got a job making both fresh, and dried pasta. I was right behind the hostess station, and had to put on a show. The pay was💩, but it was kind of fun. I learned a lot about pasta making. The machine I used cost more than a car, wish I had access to it now.
I think a grater is *usually* preferred for cheese because a blender/food processor could heat it up and the consistency/quality could change. Also, blending the almonds poses the "risk" of getting all the oils out, resulting in a more greasy end product.
@@emeraldbonsai I depends on the speed and the quantity on food inside, really. And cooling down plastic risks increasing the chances of it breaking. That's why in patisserie labs they use a "refiner" (I'm not sure it's the right translation), essentially a machine with two rollers/cylinders that can crush and pulverize any material without heating it up nor getting out the oils.
In both these recipes, the parmesan is incorporated into a hot butter or oil sauce, at which point a little warmth from the food processor is irrelevant.
@@agate_jcg Ah, but you see, usually pesto is never heated up on the stove, just incorporated into the hot pasta as not to change quality, consistency and taste of the fresh ingredients. But to each is own, cuisine is free!
I'll start with this is my first Kendall video. I'm strictly Babi baby! That being said, it appears I've cut myself short! I'm going to have to try this out. Never had fresh pasta. Now, looking at a few comments, it appears we're not going to hold her to the same standard we do with Babish. I think that means we like her lol she's definitely a delight to listen to!
Great job on this pasta video. Love how she said, "...if you have the time". That is a lot of work. But, I do agree that there is nothing like fresh made pasta. Beats out store bought every time. Happy cooking, UB
I like to get the dough all formed up inside a large metal bowl, that way you have less mess and can work on a smaller work surface, plus you can cover the dough in the metal bowl and let it rest.
My best guess to why the dough ball lightened in color is from the second round of kneading, incorporating air. Some chewy and hard candy making is a similar process, pulling, stretching, and rolling can greatly lighten the color
That was my first thought too, but if that were the case, wouldn't it get larger/less dense? And that didn't look like the case in the shot. My second thought was microstructure coloration (like in many feathers and butterfly wings)--that the changes to the gluten structure cause the reflecting light to behave in slightly different ways. Still just a guess, though.
It might depend on how much air gets incorporated. With the dough ball itself, to be bigger and less dense, it might take more air from kneading. Other than that, I don’t have another answer. With your second thought, that could be a possibility too. I’m not scientifically nerdy enough to know how to answer that, but it sounds pretty cool
ya exactly, they have really thought these other series through and the presenters are all great. sometimes TH-cam channels can release half baked ideas... this is not that, this is still super professional
Having several wood lathes, I made my own pasta rolling pin. Loved the Pasta Grannies channel..... Use Durham flour for the pasta. It is really easy to make your own.
@@TheJipino Very small rolling pins for some specific types of pasta, long rolling pins without handles for rolling a lot of dough around it, thick short rolling pins with handles for bigger and tougher doughs (like for pastries), etc. But yes, in my family old rolling pins become like yard baseball bats for intruders. 🤣
I love that Alvin did the voice over. I understand the ability to sleep anywhere. What is "not a fork gal"? I really like the individual shows Anime with Alvin and Fundakendalls ... I love Basics with Kendall and Alvin. The interaction is so fun and funny.
@@DucNguyen-bd5ir do you mean 15:18 roughly? Cause I'm pretty sure that was Brad, i've heard his voice a lot on some of the other videos like Soy Boys etc. He even filmed & commented on Alvin sleeping during that segment. If that's the one you're talking about ?
I keep trying to finish this episode but every time I watch it it’s before I go to sleep and I always fall asleep before the end 😂😂😂 Kendall is just the best personality to fall asleep to
Reiki is a Japanese technique for pain and stress reduction. I took a class to learn it just a couple weeks ago and it cured anxiety I've suffered with for years, 10/10 would recommend. Think of it like a spa day, treat yourself to going out and getting a massage from an incredibly compassionate person and walk away feeling refreshed
So cool! You really know what you are doing. I have a suggestion. Make dried pasta. Not die cut, but hand made no-egg pasta. My favourite is orecchiette.
dont' worry about your noodles not being perfect. It's one of the best things about homemade. It's all just a touch different and the feel is that much better.
Have to shoutout the Pasta Grannies channel. If you want to see the big diversity in technique, definitely check them out! Makes you feel better about your own technique as you're learning. Also, there's cooking ASMR? That's a thing? Okay, I think I finally get the appeal now. That kale crunching was nice.
There’s an anime airing right now called Deaimon- recipe for happiness. Wholesome little sweet shop anime. They go into detail about many seasonal Japanese sweets and treats. I think it would be a great show to get some videos from. If you guys want to 👍🏻
YAY MORE FUNDAKENDALLS and oooh, pasta without a machine! on account of i don't have one but i do have hands and now i have a rollator i can stay at the counter with. Thank you!
I've not seen the double knead, double rest technique before. Thanks for that. If you are using a pasta machine for the rolling, would you alter any of the prior steps?
Nicely done! I almost never make pesto with pine nuts anymore. So expensive and I often like the flavor of pecans/almonds/walnuts in my sauces more anyway.
I feel like Kendall is feeling more comfortable being in front of the camera suddenly and I’m excited for her because she’s such a delight. She and Alvin are a blast together too.
Delight is the exact word I would use to describe Kendall. She just seems like a ray of sunshine.
it amuses me how Alvin pops his head around the door frame after being called like a dog or sweetheart. just like, "food?"
I am on-board with the 'FundaKendalls' as an ongoing series.
Ditto
I also vote for a FundaKendells series!
Agreed
YES!
So say we all!
9:24 "It tastes healthy in a way that is not bad." That makes sense without making sense. Thank you, Kendall.
“Are we done with the Asmr?”
“Yeah we can be done.”
“Ok.” *immediate cut to a loud food processor* 😂
I’ll admit it: completely charmed by Kendalls personality.
Drew Barrymore vibes abound.
Please sir may we have some more Kendall?
Drew Barrymore wishes she was as charming as Kendall.
Stan kendall
That's who she reminds me of, it's been niggling away in the back of my mind. Thank you.
with Jennifer Lawrence's fingers.
The reason the dough got lighter is because Kendall brightens everyone’s day
Brave of you to assume I've made pasta before. Will I make pasta after this? Probably not, but this is eye candy for me.
I think the "made pasta" here is the kind where you open a package and add it to boiling water (I do hope you have done that before or plan to at some point)
@@Trekki200 tbh I don't remember
@@Trekki200 “Boil water”? What am I, a chemist?

Kendall: "Look how easy and fun it is to make fresh pasta!"
Camera pans over, revealing Alex crying in a corner, mumbling something about dried pasta.
Kendall has such a motherly presence to her, I enjoy videos with her a lot.
The best way to describe this video is platonically sensual… like a friend braiding your hair or painting your nails
Yeah, I get what you're saying. I feel very platonically attracted.
Kendal is so soft spoken. Perfect ASMR voice.
Way back in the late 80’s The Olive Garden was more fancy. I got a job making both fresh, and dried pasta. I was right behind the hostess station, and had to put on a show. The pay was💩, but it was kind of fun. I learned a lot about pasta making. The machine I used cost more than a car, wish I had access to it now.
I didn't realize it was possible to say "Olive Garden" and "fancy" in the same sentence. A lot has changed.
Kendall is lovely! Everyone on this channel is lovely, but I really, really love this series. Please keep it going (: Thanks for the video!

If we’re now getting a FundaKendalls series, we better get a Botched by Kendall series to go along with it! Can’t wait to see more

That ASMR parody segment while the dough was resting was awesome
I had no idea the food video host could possibly be more adorable than Andy. Like Molly Baz times Claire Saffitz-level adorable! I'm here for it.
Simone Giertz also advertises KiwiCo and now I think that she and Kendall are the crossover event that everyone is dreaming of.
🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

All I can say is "I love the Babish Culinary Universe".

Ditto..(again)
Kendell is a delight and this video was exactly what I needed today. Thanks to everyone involved. Brad I love your voice.
I like the different people coming in and doing some dishes, of course babish is babish. But this stuffs great aswell.
ya exactly, they have really thought these other series through and the presenters are all great. sometimes TH-cam channels can release half baked ideas... this is not that, this is still super professional
Kendall has such a gentle calming vibe that I just can't get enough of. Love listening to her voice while she guides us through all this!
Having several wood lathes, I made my own pasta rolling pin. Loved the Pasta Grannies channel..... Use Durham flour for the pasta. It is really easy to make your own.
The rolling pin in Italian is "mattarello" and usually every single household has got at least one (possibly more depending on the use).
"Depending on the use"... self-defense?

@@federico3652 you Italians take food and violence very seriously

I liked Kendal and Alvin. I love Kendal by her self. You should make both a regular series as the Babish Universe expands.
I love that Alvin did the voice over. I understand the ability to sleep anywhere. What is "not a fork gal"? I really like the individual shows Anime with Alvin and Fundakendalls ... I love Basics with Kendall and Alvin. The interaction is so fun and funny.
I believe the voice over is Brad 😊
@@DaniJHollis No there is a section where Alvin steps in because Kendall was to busy making fun of him to voice what she was doing.

@@DaniJHollis You are correct ... Alvin more than likely would not have referred to himself in the third person. Thank you.

I was just thinking of a new fundakendalls episode yesterday, and I’m glad it came sooner rather than later.
we love to see kendall having fun
Kendall's voice is so soothing and encouraging 😸
I love learning in this kitchen. I think the BCU has taught me more about food than I would have out in the wild.
Kendall needs to start her own ASMR Channel
Such a lovely vibe and video! Im sooo down to see this go into a series ☺️🥰
Kendall is just about the most adorable Gelfling I've ever seen. Love this series.
For the record, Babish also made hand-made pasta. It was his second ever video where he made hand-made pasta for his Il Timpano dish.
Reiki is a Japanese technique for pain and stress reduction. I took a class to learn it just a couple weeks ago and it cured anxiety I've suffered with for years, 10/10 would recommend.

The BCU seems like such a happy family and such a great work environment at the same time.
I love the addition of Kendall, Alvin, and Brad as a new Babish Culinary Universe dream team
I like Kendall a lot. She has a very kind, gentle, welcoming presence.
I love the way the BCU is shaping up. And I would love to see more from Kendall in the future.
I’m so excited to see a pasta recipe I could actually do!
Also, as a bass player, I really appreciate the use of “The Elephant” piece between scenes!?
Am I the only one who wants the Kendal and Alvin tag team to take over basics? I feel like they’re such an entertaining duo.
Please please please keep making these!!!!!! I LOVE these so much. They are so genuine and wholesome and funny and educational!!!!
*cries in Uncle Roger* use mortar and pestle to make pesto, HAAIIIIIYYYYAAAAAA
Love you Kendall ❤️
Can I request MOAR Kendall? :D I think I'm in love. Wha? With her way of explaining things!
I tried to do this at the beginning of the pandemic, some days where wins, and some where loses. It is a long learning process.
Amazing 😍 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a great day everyone 🌻
Kendal has definitely found her presenting the show vibe and I'm so here for it! ❤❤
on a more salacious note
5:21 😊
also 6:58 🥴
Pine nuts are super expensive. Thanks for recommending the almond substitute!
Kendall is such a sweet person, we need more FundaKendalls.
Solo Kendall episode? Awesome!
What are u talking about? That’s Jennifer Laurence!
It feels so warm watching her♥️♥️♥️
On board for this, but now curious as to how to make veggie pasta.
HoW hAs ThE FuNdAkEnDaLlS bEeN gOiNg On FoR a YeAr?!? I only just found it and I'd been hoping for more Kendall on the channel.
I think it would be a great video idea to show how you clean your cutting board/workstation between uses.
Kendall is a mood changer I went from fustrated to relaxed just listening to her 😌
Yes! More Kendall! We need more Kendall.
I appreciate Alvin's ability to take a nap anywhere.
This series seems like another winner, she is delightful!
"I'm kinda feeling like jojo for this one..."
...This gives the dough rolling a whole different context
So... would you knead it with ORAs, DORARAs or MUDAs?
I am loving this series! More Kendall on screen!
Bread flour is great for many kinds of pasta. It has almost the identical protein percentage as the classic double 0/semolina blend.
Kendall should do the voiceovers from now on; that was such a killer voiceover.

17:14 Prime opportunity to scream "ALLLLL-VINNNN" like Dave Seville, missed.
Looks like ya boi is making some pasta today 😤🙌🏽
legit everytime i watch babish's vids its so enjoyable

I am literally the exact same age as Kendall and am absolutely loving content from my fellow gen Zer!
How old is she?
She said in a few videos ago that she's 23 but I may be wrong!
Wow, literally exactly?? Jeepers maam, that's really precise!
Yay Kendall finally has a series?!
I honestly enjoyed this with every being of my soul.
This was so fun to watch going to give this a try thank you kendall
Cut!!! Bring in Jeniffer Lawrence’s hand double! lol
The way Alvin peeks around the corner 😂😂😂😂
I'm really happy you released this the week after we found out my wife has to go on an elimination diet and can't have wheat for 8 weeks.
