    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.

      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

      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.

    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. 😊

    I love Carla.
    She’s just the stern but loving mother/grandmother with a passion. And a little crazy.
    She’s just so fun to watch.
