@@chromeaces Nobody. It just seems like people in the BA kitchen look down on Brad, especially Chris. They roll their eyes at him and make pretentious comments. Brad is more down to earth and it doesn't look good for the usually infatuated new-yorker I guess.
Everytime I watch one of these I think "Oh, Carla's my favorite". Then I watch a Claire video and I think, "Oh no, Claire is definitely my favorite". Then of course I watch a Chris video and I think, "Nope, for sure Chris is my favorite". Now, within 15 seconds of this video I'm right back to Carla. Which, long story short, leads me to believe I just love them all and this is my favorite TH-cam channel. ♥️
that fancy French chef would tell anybody to use a bench scraper, not a chef knife. or at least use the back of the knife. Scraping with the blade down dulls the knife very quickly. I was surprised she did that, one of the rudiments of cooking is to NOT scrape with a knife blade.
Made this last week. Some tips: - Don’t salt the water as much as Carla does (sorry). Use a relatively small amount of water so it gets really starchy. - Near the end of cooking the pasta, put about three cups of cooking water in the sauce and whisk really well - Set aside an additional two cups (yes). Walnuts have incredible thickening power - Do the mixing part for 5-10 minutes, then let it sit. After that stir in more water gradually. Keep it hot on the stove instead of the counter. - Definitely use a sturdy pasta like bucatini because the mixing will cause finer pasta like angel hair to break up and get gross - add a dash of butter - For God’s sake temper the chocolate
Sounds like a line from the Waitress musical! "She is messy but she's kind, she is good but she lies... she is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie"
As a South East Asian person I would say every household do have mortar and pestle, probably all of Asia to be honest. So it might be a better way to promote pesto in the asian communities 😂
PSA: When pushing whatever you chopped from the board into the bowl use the top edge of the knife - you get the job done and you don't dull your knife by scraping the edge along the board 🔪🔪🔪
I really love how Carla just explains everything so like if you're actually going to do it you'll get the same result as she has and i think that's lovely and she really is a great chef as well as every other BA chef/producer ❤
Other than saying that this channel is probably one of the very few that does not mess with Italian recipes (because they are most of the time really well explained and correctly done), I have to specify that, the pasta pack you’re holding (Benedetto Cavalieri spaghettoni) is one of the best brand and quality made pasta in Italy (pretty hard to find even here) so I was pretty surprised to see it in an American kitchen (recognised thanks to the blue stripe on the top), so I wanted to congratulate for the ingredient selection, and to thank you for choosing Italian certified brands, (as you did with parmigiano checking from the curd) because by doing this, you do support our local industries instead of foreign illegal unofficial suppliers. Suggest to all of you to buy that pasta. 😊
Ken Alexandre Meridi the Italian Parmesan always costs a little bit, and the curd is marked with fire (Parmigiano reggiano consorzio) those who don’t have a marked curd are not official, and comes from contraband.
For ricotta I heat up the leftover whey from another cheese with a bit of milk and vinegar and then simply drain the curds. Check out Garvin Webber’s Videos on how to make cheese, they are pretty helpful!
I have a mortar and pestle, but it is wood. And small. Absolutely beautiful burl, handmade, but not that useful. How many things can you stick in your Amazon cart?
i literally ran into the kitchen to make this and it turned out AWESOME. used the bottom of a sturdy olive oil bottle to pound and smash the stuff together inside a metal bowl. worked like magic and smelled amazing. used fresh hyssop (zaatar) i/o oregano. thanks carla!
Just made this tonight, and wow, was it salty!!! Wife and I both eat a lot of salt (probably too much), but neither of us could eat more than a few mouthfuls. We will 100% try this again, but massively reduce the salt in the pasta water.
They've said in other videos that Diamond salt is a lot less salty than Mortons or other traditional salt. They should probably mention it more often, though.
Carla, I am actively looking for more ways to utilize my mortar & pestle! I petition for the golden boy, Andy Beraghani, to have at least 10 more videos of mortar & pestle action!
I made this dish for my family and everyone loved it! The dish is so tasty. The lemon tastes really fresh and the walnuts add a really nice crunch. Thanks so much Carla!
@@АнастасияМакарович No its smaller salt crystals than kosher salt. Meaning that there would be more salt crystals in a 1/4 cup of table salt than there would be in a 1/4 cup of kosher salt.
What Claire goes through is probably closer to the frustration level of reality :) I would not want to be a professional cook, high stress, not high pay, even if you own a restaurant they've got low margins and are highly likely to fail as a business. I just enjoy the videos
The awesome thing about this channel is not JUST the great recipes, explanations, information and demonstrations that inform and grow you... But the complexity of entertainment both in the videos and then the comments TOO!?!?! who needs cable? Funny funny stuff!
Can someone tell me what on earth angle hair is? Is it some kind of pasta only known in the US? I see it all over the comment section but I had never heard of it before..
I very much appreciate Carla’s ability to anticipate common questions or pain points and address them such as with adding the oil, and adding the pasta water. I can’t wait for her cookbook to arrive on my doorstep soon.
True: IKEA do an excellent mortar and pestle for 13 Euros (in Germany) - it’s marble, it’s heavy, it’s not too small, and the pestle fits the mortar perfectly. The cheapest Microplane grater comes in at 16 or 17 Euros.
This recipe is awesomeee!!!! I just made here for lunch and my family loved it! Carla u rock girl and bon appétit thanks for exists you guys makes my life happier ♥️
I do it!! Not before I cook, but I do use EVOO on my skin. Same brand too--California Olive Ranch. It is hands down the most delicious olive oil I've ever had by a mile. ♡
I'm glad long-form videos aren't dead! Love a deep-dive into something, really getting to know the topic, especially something like food that deserves it! The longer it takes to make a pesto, the more delicious it will taste when you finally take a bite!! (or I guess this is a medium length video, but BA has the long stuff too!)
I love how she started with putting olive oil on her hands. I do that before washing dishes, and put olive oil in my nose during the winter. Everyone thinks I'm crazy lol
Yay Carla. I have my grandmother's pestle and mortar that is only occasionally used for grinding indian spices. Now I know what else to do with it. This just looked so delicious.
"... with or without the pestle, not be confused with pestilence, which was also a thing that ran rampant in the olden times... " Carla with her nerdy jokes 🤣🤣
I just made this and it was fantastic! Just like she said in the video it was very zesty from the lemon, filling and at the same time creamy. A lot less heavy than an Alfredo, but still plenty robust. Next time I will add some crispy pancetta to even out the zest from the lemon. LOVED the recipe!
I love how Carla focuses on the process of doing things while patiently explaining each move to us. I'll definitely try this recipe just to see the sauce getting thicker with the labour of my own hands
brenton reddrick I’m making spag bol tonight, and my mum loves angel hair, but I HATE it! She just had back surgery though so I got angel hair to please her hahaha
Laura Westenra she just doesn’t like it haha. She said so also in her shrimp scampi video. I guess it doesn’t hold sauce well? And maybe has an undesirable texture and taste by itself, which is important if you’re a chef who thinks every piece of the dish should be good on it’s own. That’s all I can think of.
After months of contemplating and dreaming about this sauce/dish, I finally made it (with some alterations) and it was A-MAZING!!! Had to switch walnuts to an almond-pine nut mix cause partner is allergic to walnuts and I didn't have enough almonds. Added more garlic cause we love us some garlic in this household. And switched ricotta with mascarpone cause we had it available and honestly I think when they're cooked, it's not the most serious difference. Used all of the pasta water to texture the sauce, Carla is definitely right about it all. And it's super delicious. Make that sauce!!!
Carla: "She is a creamy emulsified magic mess of beauty and realization of handmade goodness"

@@tyskstil That's the best thing about these videos. They are unscripted and off the cuff. You only get these people's personalities.
So what i’ve gathered from Carla is: to cook food, you must become one with the food. Douse yourself in olive oil because *YOU* are the noodle.
You are the Good Noodle
😂😂😂😂😂 yes that's the lesson here isn't it???
"first, you must realize the truth."
'what truth?'
"there is no noodle..."
If you are well oiled, the pasta can no longer sense fear. Or is that the dough???
JHolidayB in the BA kitchen, everything senses fear. You can never be too safe, keep your olive oil and wooden pizza spatula-thingy on hand at all times
Carla's recipes always rely on at least a half a cup of blind faith and I'm living for it.
Annie She’s all about “a wing and a prayer!”
I just made this! Damn, I was doubting that the sauce would come together. I doubted Carla, but it came together. Lesson learned: NEVER doubt Carla.

Hold up. Scraping things off the counter and into your mixing bowl is fancy?? Dang, I never knew how bougie I was!
Bingo bango
it's straight out of ratatouille
I think I’ve noticed most of them scoop with a bread cutter thing so I’m guessing that’s a cooking school thing
@@pickles2791 Bench scraper. You can also just use the back of the knife… NOT the cutting edge like she did. That’s bad.
Brian Bock bench scraper, yes. I knew what it was but couldn’t get it to my brain.
"but what if it's the same, it's just more convenient?" gosh, i love carla so much

SO attacked right now.
Attacked aggressively
Lern to stand it when other people have differing opinions
@@nicksande6880 Lern to stand it when other people make jokes
Claudia McManus considering todays amount of 'im offended reeeeee' this isnt that obvious of a joke here...
@@nicksande6880 You're being offended for them. That's worse than the "reeeeeeeee" you speak of. Have a great rest of your week.
I'm amazed by how much these videos enhance my quality of life 💆🏻
I love how Carla focuses on the process of doing things while patiently explaining each move to us. I'll definitely try this recipe just to see the sauce getting thicker with the labour of my own hands
every video brad’s job description changes😂 another recipe by miss carla music i will definitely try👍 thanks ba!

Vanadium and i oop-
brenton reddrick I’m making spag bol tonight, and my mum loves angel hair, but I HATE it! She just had back surgery though so I got angel hair to please her hahaha
@@TheNikkilvlogs gotta have some cae sal too
Carla: for the love of God don't use ..
Me: please don't say angel hair
Carla: Angel Hair
Me: fml
I know right? What's wrong with angel hair?
maybe it would break apart or get overcooked when it's being tossed with the pasta water? I think that's why.
Laura Westenra she just doesn’t like it haha. She said so also in her shrimp scampi video.
I guess it doesn’t hold sauce well? And maybe has an undesirable texture and taste by itself, which is important if you’re a chef who thinks every piece of the dish should be good on it’s own.
That’s all I can think of.
@@laurawestenra there's nothing wrong, it's just made for soup, not for sauces.
Carla is so cool and down to earth, also great chef! I'm here for it 👌
After months of contemplating and dreaming about this sauce/dish, I finally made it (with some alterations) and it was A-MAZING!!! Had to switch walnuts to an almond-pine nut mix cause partner is allergic to walnuts and I didn't have enough almonds. Added more garlic cause we love us some garlic in this household. And switched ricotta with mascarpone cause we had it available and honestly I think when they're cooked, it's not the most serious difference. Used all of the pasta water to texture the sauce, Carla is definitely right about it all. And it's super delicious. Make that sauce!!!

this is the type of niche humor I appreciate
As much as I love these ppl, I feel like I'm gaining too much weight with these amazing recipes. And my daily work out can't keep up
"You are just going to have to trust me."
Oh, Carla I do trust the Crazy Lady.
Tried this recipe today and it was delicious, easy, and super quick to make! The only thing I would do differently is salt the pasta water a bit less.

people @ bon appetit: mmmmmmhhhh pAsTa wAtER
