Heat up sauce in pan, add non rinsed pasta to the pan and coat together. Don't just glop the sauce onto the pasta.

This. Also add a spoonful of the pasta water to the sauce.

You lose the risk of having any portion of any bite be without sauce.

Unless you are that one person who enjoys the flavor of plain pasta, this is a good thing.

What if the people eating the meal dont all like the same amount of sauce?
I mean, I get it, but its not that hard to mix it on your plate.

The heat-cooling down in the pan also allows hollow pasta to suck in the sauce iirc.

Don't all the pros not quite get the pasta to al dente and finish in the sauce itself? That's obviously the ideal way, and you can help the uncivilized not destroy the pasta with too much sauce

Haha, I didn't realise this would be so controversial.

I normally mix it in but thought it would look better for the photo if I didn't.

One of the best burgers I've ever eaten, let alone made by myself. Self-made garlic mayo, crunchy bacon, nice medium beef paddy, pickles, and pickled onions. Not a clean meal, to say the least.

Not that good of a picture, but Bucatino A'l Amatriciana would be quite different if the pasta was not tossed in the sauce:

Also to jump up a step for something that isn't obvious to a lot of people, you need to choose the right pasta style for the job

Ahh that makes sense. Figured there was something I was missing.

Speaking of burgers, thoughts on adding stuff like worcestershire sauce, bread crumbs, beaten egg, salt/pepper, blue cheese, diced chilis to the ground sirloin before shaping into patties?
Is that considered heathen?
Because it tastes really good imo.

Unless you want to make really thin burgers you dont need any binding so skip the breadcrumbs and if you really want eggs on the burger just fry them on the side. Everything else is fine especially blue cheese imo.

anyone have a favorite pizza dough recipe I may have not come across online? NY style. I've done kenji, AB, and a few from pizzamaking.com

i'm going to be making a bleu cheese foam (which I've done before), but this time I want to possibly infuse celery into it.

Would blending the celery first and then squeezing the water out of it back into the blender with the other ingredients work? I'll be making it in my whipping siphon. I don't want a strong celery flavor. Just curious what you all might think?

Excellent bread by the way JL514

I made some pizza this week with Kenji's Neopolitain recipe. The mix seemed pretty dry compared to my usual dough mix. It didn't rise v much and stayed pretty dense, though I think this is bc I used old yeast. Still tasted great though. His sauce recipe is great.



I didn't realise there was much variation in difft. dough recipes, but I have never looked into it tbh.
