Tell me when to stop. Don’t stop. Keep going. This is a war of attrition. Welcome to Mythical Kitchen where dreams become food. What the hell was that? That was weird. We’ve never done that before. You told us to do it. Pretty seamless if you ask me. Everybody needs a go-to pasta recipe at home for those Tuesday nights you get home, you’re tired, you don’t want to cook so you just toss some crap in a pan and it ends up being tasty and nourishing. So we got three professional ish chefs right here and you’re gonna be a fly on our walls in our kitchen today cooking our go-to weeknight pasta recipes. We’ve broken the recipes down into like the recipes. You can snag the time codes right there. We also got full written recipes that work baby down below. Check those out. Let’s get cookin’. Quick and dirty weeknight pasta. Put 15 minutes on the clock. We’re gonna do this live. Cajun chicken fettuccine Alfredo, it is a staple at the Chili’s. It’s a staple at the TGI Friday’s, The Cheesecake Factory. They can’t be wrong. Also, this is like stuff that I always have in my home. Nice. You excited for this? Yeah, who wouldn’t be excited? We’re droppin’ some fettucine in there. Nicole, you’re gonna be my cook woman. I’m gonna start prepping, trying to go fast for people who can actually cook stuff at home. Boneless, skinless, chicken breast, got the most protein out of any meat so I always have it. Okay. Even though like it doesn’t have a lot of flavor. That’s why. Oh my God. Tony Chachere’s. I mean legit, I always have these ingredients in my house. I have a ton of Cajun seasoning at any point. I always got stuff like paprika, butter. There’s always a half an onion in a bag and no one quite knows where it came from or how old it is but it’s cool cause it’s an onion so nobody cares. I’ve been there before. Except I always get shamed for it. If you put 1/2 an onion in a bag, it’ll keep for up to six months. I believe that too but I get shamed for it. Like doesn’t it like harbor bacteria or something and I’m like- We’re boiling it in Cajun seasoning, dude. All right, so we’re just gonna get the chicken breast cooking in there. Yum. Hear that sizzle. God. Screw it, I’m gonna dice an onion. Always got onion, always got garlic. If I was actually making a Cajun chicken fettucine Alfredo, if I was really putting some effort into it but again, weeknight pasta’s not where you wanna put your efforts. I’m only gonna use 1/4 of an onion. Also if you’re chopping an onion on the raw chicken cutting board, it’s getting cooked. It’s getting boiled in sauce. You’re gonna be totally fine. We’re gonna get a bunch of butter. Yeah. Bunch of butter, yum. There we go, it’s goin’. It’s goin’. Everything’s cranked to high? Yeah, I mean, that looks like it’s on the 6. All right, great. We’ll get our onion chopped. Always got garlic again. Garlic lasts forever in your fridge so like that’s always there. We’re gonna get a couple cloves of this cooking and then we’re gonna make a basic like legit Alfredo sauce. Hey I’m here, what’s up man? What can I do for you? What can I do you for? I was just talking legit like the legit Alfredo recipe is actually Italian. Yeah. It’s from a restaurant in Rome and there was no cream in it. It was just butter and pasta water and also grated parmesan. You ever been to Rome before? Dude, no, I’ve never been to Italy. You’ve never been to Italy? You’ve never taken me before. I’m so glad you’re not making me really do anything other than just observe. Well, you’re gonna be doing stuff. You know the butter’s melting, we’re building a roux with the butter. How much time on that? 15 minutes. I promised a 15 minute recipe. You promised? Well, like to myself. Taste test the pasta. See if it’s done. I don’t think it’s ready yet. Yeah, it’s been three minutes, so eat the raw pasta. You seem like you were a raw pasta kid. No, I was not a raw pasta kid. I was an overcooked pasta kid. Oh yes. And now I’m an al dente adult. I was gonna say, you’re like, you’re like the queen of undercooked pasta. I showed you your pasta yesterday to prove to you it was undercooked. And you’re like that’s how I like it. Under cooked, al dente, I think it was perfect. All right, so you’re gonna take your garlic, your onions, and the rest of that raw chicken on there. Lots of raw chicken residue. We’re not making a salad. If you’re making a salad, don’t use a raw chicken cutting board. Your butter is browning ever so slightly, getting a little nutty. Can you move it? Appreciate you. No problem. A little bit of browning on that butter never hurt anybody. No, of course not. I think brown butter’s a beautiful flavor. Here, hold that there. I’m gonna toss in, boom. Great. Boom. So we’re gonna start sweating out the aromatics. Okay. And then while that’s going, anytime you’re adding spices to a dish, I’m gonna drop in a ton of paprika ’cause that’s gonna give you that lovely red color. Also paprika, it’ll last 15 years in your pantry. It’ll lose flavor after two years. But you’re not in there for the flavor. You’re in it ’cause it’s red. Would you like me to flip the chicken? Yeah, flip the chicken. How we doing on that chicken? Yummy. Looking lovely. That’s gorgeous. Yeah, well you flip the position in the pan so the other one cooks ’cause you see it’s hotter. Is that better? Yeah. I have this. It’s your special… Yeah, this is the wooden spoon that I like. Everybody has one wooden spoon that they like. Yeah. In their kitchen. And one burner they like. We really have one burner that we like. Yeah, one burner we like and one spoon we like. All right, so we’re gonna let the chicken finish cooking. We’re gonna get those aromatics starting to sweat out. And then we’re gonna add some flour to it and then like hit that with the rest of our ingredients and start building the sauce. Exciting. We’re gonna add some flour to our butter aromatics. Ooh, nice. Yeah, doing a nice little roux action. This is like kind of like a base of a bechamel. It is pretty much the base of a bechamel. Yeah. And like again, if I was doing this like more legit, I’d probably have celery and bell pepper in there. Oh yeah, Cajun trinity, yeah. Cajun trinity, better than mirepoix. Oh yeah. But I never have celery on hand unless I’m doing some like French chicanery. Chicanery? Chicanery, you know. I’m like bacon, like, oh, I wanna make some boeuf bourguignon. But other than that I don’t have celery. Can I do something with this? Do whatever you want. You are… It’s called deglazing a pan and that is how I cook at home. That is just the truth. That was some menace to society. Sorry. Now what you’ve done is kind of made a blackened chicken stock in there and then you’re gonna add that. Wow. To your sauce. Check that out. That was cool. Cookin’. I feel like I’m on a cooking show more than I usually am. Or even working for a cooking show for like three years. No, no, no. This like speed at which we are creating with now is like real like- This is it. This is like, what is it called? “The Chew” energy. Yeah, is that what it’s called? “The Chew” or “The Kitchen?” With Geoffrey Zakarian. The Kitchen. Although Geoffrey Zakarian, dude, he’s getting hotter. Yeah. Geoffrey Zakarian, come on the show. We see you Jeff. Man, you’re out there. I watch his workout videos. He’s a daddy. He’s a daddy, dude. We love you, Geoffrey Z. All right, boom. This Alfredo sauce, we just wanna let this reduce. It’s gonna thicken from all that flour in there, that little bit of stock. How’s that pasta doing? It’s goin’. I’m trying to make this Mormon mom pasta. Mormon mom pasta. So there’s a couple levels of pasta, cookery of doneness. You have one, al dente that means to the tooth. That means there’s that little bit of white on the inside. It’s very sort of like toothsome and a little bit hard. I’d say it’s undercooked. And then you have the American style, just a little bit squishier. And then you got Mormon mom, which is that you hardly have to chew the spaghetti. It just dissolves in your mouth. And that’s how I like it. Yeah, I’m trying to get you to the Mormon mom levels. Heck yeah. Chicken’s done, we can cool this. No, no, no. Not on the raw, this is where you don’t put it on the raw cutting board. The sauce looks honestly, looks gorgeous. Look at that. Kind of a deep dark red that is. Let me taste it. Is this up to your Mormon mom standard? Holy shnikes, that’s great. How’s it goin’? Not yet? Another 20 minutes. Nicole, drop the pasta in there. Show them how it’s done. Show ’em how it’s done. There it is. Yeah, all of it. And then you gotta jimmy it. What’re you callin’ jimmy? What? No, just jimmy it. There it is. While you’re jimmyin’, I’m gonna grate in some parm. Oh man. This is a dirty pasta and I like that. Yeah, dude. When we say dirty, we mean like down dirty, like, you don’t have that much time. You don’t have that much energy. You’re just here to get sustenance in your body. Your body is predisposition to love, like fat, salt, carbs, and flavor. And that’s all this is. That’s all this is. Tell me when to stop. Tell me when to stop. Don’t stop. Keep going. This is a war of attrition. Honey, I don’t know nothing about war but I could have done more parmesan. Let me tell you that. Okay, wanna plate it up? Let it keep going for a sec. I’m gonna do like a nice like these little slices on a bias on this chicken breast. This is a lot of pasta for a little bowl, young man. Wow, that is such a gorgeous cut. Keep going. Dude. We got two minutes, bro. Its only been 13 minutes. Are you kidding me? I feel like I’ve been here for three years. Keep going, that looks really good. It’s kind of good, right? That looks really good. All right, open up the last one. Boom. Chicken’s actually cooked. I was worried about that a little bit. I will say technically this is a portion for four people but if we’re being like real about it. Sometimes you’re four people. Wait dude, where’s our garnish? Oh my God, Nicole, get something green. So anything green? Anything green. Anything green. Dude, it can be dried parsley. I don’t care. Dried what? A dried parsley. How about some basil? Basil, eww. You can take some extra sauce. Okay we have basil or spinach. Which do you want? Oh, spinach. Dude, this is a great hack. I’ll teach you a great hack. Check this out. If you don’t have any fresh herbs in your house but you want something green, just take anything green. It can be iceberg lettuce, it can be spinach, and you’re just gonna chop it. How much time I got? 10 seconds. Plate wipe, plate wipe, plate wipe. Time. Wow. No one asked for there to be a timer except for me. But we did it. I feel like I’m at The Cheesecake Factory and I mean that in the best way possible. You are at the Cheesecake Factory. Can we get a bunch of like weird Egyptian kind of things in here? Nicole, please dig in. Do you do the fork, spoon, twirl method? Yeah, of course. No way. When you eat pasta, that’s how you eat it? Yeah, I try, I try. I love that. I just gotta do one of these really quick. I eat all noodles with chopsticks. All? Yeah. Every last one? I make spaghetti at home, going chopsticks. I make Cup O’ Noodles at home, I’m going chopsticks. That’s too big. If I make coleslaw, I use chopsticks. That’s just cabbage noodle. It’s just so satisfying to like get a large thing of noodles and then just like… there we go. Speaking of satisfying, way to go. I’ve grown immune to it. Mm. People are like, why don’t you react? God, that’s good. I’m dealing with this. Mm. That’s good. I like the texture of the sauce. He’s not listening. And I like the spinach hack. I think actually the little brightness of the spinach really helps tie it all together. It visually makes you think that you’re eating vegetables. Quick, dirty. Nicole, what you got in your bag? You’ll see in a little bit. Spicy. Actually you won’t. Trevor will. Oh. We’re about to get into my triple s rigatoni. But before we do that, Trevor wants to tell you guys about Vote Like a Beast. Yes, Vote Like a Beast, so November 8th, the midterm elections are coming up and I know that we have fans all across the United States. And a lot of you are gonna be in some really key areas for important elections so if you wanna go over to votelikeabeast.com, you can check it out. And there’s resources to check your voter registration status, see if you’ve already voted. And a lot of tools to just keep yourself informed on the elections. So definitely go check that out. Votelikeabeast.com and vote. It’s important. Yeah, vote or die. That’s what P. Diddy said. What does the triple s stand for? Great question. Rigatoni rigate is my favorite pasta shape in the whole entire universe, right? These ones. So the triple s is, it’s sexy, it’s sultry, and it’s spicy. So it’s basically like a tomato sauce with a little bit of anchovy. And we’re gonna put some yummy stuff on it too. I don’t wanna give it all away. First thing we’re gonna do is salt our water and then throw our nubes in. And then Alexa, set a timer for 8 and 1/2 minutes. What can I do to help you? What you can start doing is making a little paste. So go ahead and take the garlic, the Calabrian chiles, and some salt. All right. And you’re just gonna scrape them along the board. Okay. And make a little paste and then add some salt for a little bit of abrasive. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is one of my favorite tips in Italian cooking is creating a paste with your garlic. It allows the flavors to really meld and kind of disappear into the oil which is what we’re gonna start doing with some other things. I’m gonna add some butter and a little bit of good olive oil. And just let that get nice and hot. Good olive oil? Yeah, none of that cheap stuff. None of that cheap stuff. Honestly, sometimes the cheap stuff’s delicious. I’m not gonna lie. All right, so this is a secret weapon in all of my pastas. I add anchovies into my pastas. Now how do you feel about anchovies, Trevor? I love anchovies and I’m definitely someone that will like ask for anchovies on my Caesar salad. Totally. Like, ’cause they don’t do it. They don’t do it all the time. And I want anchovies. I think whenever you treat them the right way with respect and dignity, they make for a delicious add into any sort of dish. I don’t have a spoon to mix with. You don’t have a spoon? Get her a spoon! Chop and scrape, chop and scrape, chop and scrape. We’re using Calabrian chiles which are this delicious little thing. Can you remind me to not touch my eyeballs? Sure. Are you an eyeball toucher? Can everybody in here remind me to not touch my eyeballs? Are you an eyeball toucher? Like a chronic eyeball toucher? Yeah, chronic eyeball toucher. Oh no. Love touching eyeballs. No way, ew. That looks beautiful. We got our butter nice and foamy. And now we’re gonna add our shallots. Shallots are like onions and garlic if they had like a baby and then they sent the baby to boarding school ’cause he was being a little bit naughty. You know anybody that went to boarding school? What? You sent the baby to boarding school? Yeah. The onions and the garlic? Yeah. I’m gonna add some tomato paste. Let that get nice and cooked out. Fun fact about tomato paste, if you cook it, it can actually get rid of that tinny tomatoey flavor and it turns into a really, nice deep, sultry, tomato flavor which I really, really like. Sultry? Yes, sultry. You keep using this word to describe food. I wish more of my food was sultry. Well let me tell you after you eat this pasta, you’re gonna try to make sultry food all the time. Yeah? Yeah, go ahead and throw the mash in there. It looks beautiful, Trevor. In where? In here. Thank you, nice flop. Thank you. I really want touch my eyeballs. Don’t touch ’em. You can wash your hands. How about that? You wanna go wash your hands? I’ll wash it. Go ahead and wash your hands. I’ll wash it. Yeah, I’m gonna add some cherry tomatoes. I do love the way cherry tomatoes taste in this pasta in particular. And a little touch of salt. We don’t want to oversalt. Too much salt with anchovies makes it really, really gross. But just a little touch to help brighten everything up. And maybe just a little pepper. That’s a lot of burrata. Is all that going on top? Yeah. There’s no pepper in this grinder. I love pasta. I’m a pasta freak. You’re a pasta freak? I’m a bit of a freak honestly. Freak in the morning, freak in the evening, freak every time you want. When I was in high school when I first got into cooking, I mean I got into cooking like earlier than high school, but a lot of the cooking I did when I was younger was baking. And then I was like, I started cooking meals for myself. The amount of times that I would just cook noodles, put butter in the noodles, and like a little bit of olive oil and then just like dried Italian herb mixtures in a bowl. Oh yeah. I ate that so often. Dried Italian herbs get a bad rep. But let me just tell you- They do, they’re fire. Delicious. It doesn’t matter how long it’s in your pantry. Oh no. I probably have spices older than you in my pantry. Older than me? Maybe, you know. So they’re aged. They’re heavily aged. So I’m gonna take the back of my spatula, you can actually do this part. You can actually squash them in. You want me to squash them? Yeah, squash some maters. We wanna get some seeds in there. If they don’t squash, it’s okay. They’re so freakin’- They’re so flimsy. They’re just, they’re so, it’s like when you’re trying to, oh I got one. Nice. It’s like when you’re trying to grab like an egg shell when you crack an egg and you accidentally get a shell in there and you can’t pick it up. That’s what this feels like. I know all about that. That happens to me a lot more than I care to admit. But you use the same strategy ’cause you just push it up against the side. No, you’re right, man, you’re right. Our tubes are looking good. Go ahead and toss ’em up in there, Trevor. Give him a nice toss. Beautiful. Very nice. And now here’s just a touch of pecorino. Do I get to eat this? Yeah, of course. I’m so excited. A little bit of pecorino. We’re gonna emulsify this into our sauce. Splendid. Let it go, Trevor. Now give it a nice mix. Very, very nice. Absolutely incredible. Very incredible. What is this accent, we’ve started doing? Absolutely incredible. A little bit more pasta water. Give it a nice shimmy shake jimmyjam. Very nice. Okay, freaking fantastic. Let’s put a little bit of this in there. Splendid. Splendid, it looks gorgeous. Gorg. Look at that. Sign me up. We could just leave this pasta like this, right? We could. But we’re not gonna do that. No. See there’s one thing you should know about me, I don’t let things just fly. You know, I want ’em to be as fancy as humanly possible but still accessible. So I’m gonna take my burrata and I’m just gonna split it right down the center, okay? Yeah. And I’m gonna take some dank olive oil, squiggle that over the top. Oh great heavens. A little bit of… Oh. Pep. Scrumptious in fact. A sprinkle of salt and some basil leaves. Wowsers in me trousers. That is a pasta. And there you go. All right, Trevor, here is the triple s rigatoni. Can’t wait. Dig in. I’m just gonna kind of scooch some of the stracciatella inside. Okay. And pick up a few nubes, try to get some maters. Yeah, get some nubes and some maters and some cheese. Mm. You understand why it’s called triple s now? Yeah. You understand it? Oh I’m feeling all three of those s’s. Does it make sense? In my mouth right now. Damn, that burrata just ties it all together. It really does. It’s so good. The Calabrian chili’s so good. I love Calabrian chili because in this dish it’s not too spicy. ‘Cause one time Josh made me eat a Calabrian chile out of the jar and it was really spicy and I cried. Sorry about that. Calabrian chile, their chilies that are grown in Calabria. They’re really good. Just pop one out and try one. They’re not hot. They’re pretty hot. You lied to me. But like this when it’s actually cooked into a dish, it’s really lovely. Yeah, it is. It’s really, really delicious. Please make this. Please make all of our pastas. But Trevor, what do you have cooking up under your sleeve? You know I’m a bit of a bacon guy and so I’m gonna use the fancy Italian bacon, pancetta to make a little creamy pancetta. I’m so sorry I made you eat that Calabrian chile. No. Everyone deserves to feel safe at work. It was funny. Weren’t we making like Olive Garden something? Yeah, the Calabrian chili chicken sandwich. That was a good sandwich. Yeah, I tricked you. Right when you ate it I felt regret. Yeah that’s okay. Well I got pancetta here. Pancetta is Italian bacon. I believe unsmoked but heavily cured. Heavily cured. Yes, that is correct. And I love it and it tastes good. So I’m gonna put it in. This feels like a lot. That’s so much pancetta, dude. Save some, we’ll make omelettes tomorrow morning. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hold on let me just grab, let me just grab a handful and just, oh pan’s not hot. That’s all right. Actually pancetta in a cold pan, like I start baking it in a cold pan ’cause it helps sweat out. And then you get some of that, even if like steam happens, then it’ll cook out. This is the best smell I’ve smelled in a long time. It’s a nice smell. It’s the garlic. I added garlic. I was scared because Nicole said she believed that there were like three really key ingredients in like Italian cooking and I’m using none of them. Which ones? She said olive oil. Nah, not that. I don’t like that. Did you say butter, Nicole? She said anchovies. Then she said anchovies. The fact that Nicole made the claim that anchovies are like a building block of Italian cuisine is pretty nuts. Yeah, pretty insane. You said that and I was like, we’re gonna let it fly. It’s a pretty nuts thing to say. Oh I love this. Okay, so you’re getting a little bit of this like crispety, crunchety down in the bottom of the pan. Yeah. You love that ’cause we’re gonna deglaze it with a little bit of this pasta water afterward. And that’s gonna add extra flavor to the sauce. Yeah you know they call that in bass cooking, I believe they call it socarrat which means soul of the pan or no valenciana from… You could be lying to me and I would’ve no idea. It’s like the paella term for like the bottom of the pan. They call it the soul of pan, socarrat. You’re the only person that would know that. You could suck at these nuts. I thought you were gonna say that. I’ve changed. I can grow. You haven’t deez nuts me in a while. Yeah ’cause I’ve grown up, Josh. I’m a more mature person now, okay? I’ve gone to therapy. Dude, is that what they told you? Yeah. They said stop deez nutsing your coworkers and you’ll be a lot happier. Like do you think that deez nuts are really in here the whole time and then you start crying and they’re like, that’ll be $900. Deglaze this once you get a little bit of browning on it. Yeah. That way the pasta water ’cause pasta water, right? You’re getting what are called particulate emulsifiers. Yeah. Which is like the flour from the pasta is literally inside this. What does that look like to you? Lemonade. Dog semen. So we’re gonna add some of that and then if you add it a little bit at a time and really stir it, really agitate it, you’ll see it actually kind of becomes like creamy because the little particulates in there, it’s almost creating like a form of a roux, right? So you’re seeing that and that’s pretty freaking cool. It’s pretty freaking cool. Trevor, now that’s a great technique. Tell the people why you took the pancetta out of the pan. Because I felt like it. Okay, there it is. Can I not just feel like doing something? You can, dude. I don’t want soggy pancetta. When you and Nicole were cooking together, everything was so smooth. Sometimes I think the problem is me. When have we ever been smooth together on a cooking show? You can see how we’ve got all that fat and oil on the sides. It is gonna mix into the cream and it’s gonna be really delicious. Now I know what you’re thinking. Trevor, that looks like poo. I didn’t The people out there, not you Josh ’cause you know how to cook. I made something once and somebody said it looked like goose . Trevor tell ’em what kind of cheese this is. This is Parmigiano Regiano. That was the most beautiful thing I ever heard. It’s Parmesan. This is generally how you make like a simple cream sauce is just cream heated on a very low heat with a bunch of cheese melted into it. Yeah, yeah. That’s how you make a classic cream sauce. This is kind of what we’re doing. Like if you made like a fettucine alfredo, that’s basically what it is, just cream and cheese. Pretty much. I did a roux. I did like a flour based roux with milk with mine but that’s just ’cause I always got milk in the house and I rarely have heavy cream in the house. Yeah but if you’re a baker, you’re probably makin’ a lot of whipped cream. I make a lot of whipped cream. Have you heard the term schlag? Schlag? Schlag? No, explain that to me. Schlag is like, it’s an Austrian term for whipped cream I believe. What? Nobody else has heard of schlag? That’s what they called it at Peter Luger Steakhouse in New York. They call it schlag? Like you want some schlag? If anybody ever asked me if I wanted schlag, I’d probably call the cops. I’d be like, how much? Wait. Pause. How much for this schlag? What was the hand motion you did? It was this. It was the greedy money counter. The sauce is looking really nice and thick. I’m gonna crack some pepper in there. I’m gonna turn the heat off. Do you put a lot of pepper in it? Yeah, I’ll put a lot of pepper in it. I really like a lot of pepper in my pasta. Is that just for you? Yeah. Just for you. All right, I’m gonna put a lot of pepper. I’m gonna crack it in. Cream loves pepper. I’m not gonna go too overly heavy on the salt because pancetta is very salty. Do you want to fling it in there? I’m holding this. There it is. And then do you wanna put the- I don’t have a good tool to… Do you want me to put this back in? Introduce, reintroduce the pancetta? Yes, reintroduce the pancetta. Okay, I’m gonna keep it a buck 100 with you. Yeah. I normally would’ve let the pancetta get crispier and then I take it out because I don’t want it to sit in the cream and then get soggy. And then you have little crispy pancetta bits. But then I deglazed it with the water. But then you deglazed it with the water and ruined everything. It’s just fine. I’m kidding, I’m kidding. It’s still gonna be good. This looks lovely. When do you want me to squeeze the lemon in there? Once we plate it, Josh. It’s a half a lemon. ‘Cause we gotta put it on the plate. Exactly one half of a lemon. For having like five ingredients, this took a long time. All right. You want me to lemon it a little bit? Well I was gonna do the lemon on top. Did you want to mix? Well this is your dish, man. Why am I taking over? Because I trust you and I’m scared cooking by myself. Yeah? Yeah, yeah, go ahead. Yeah, like right at the end so you’re not getting like the heat on the lemon, you know, but you’re just, you’re getting it incorporated in there. And then if you want some extra lemon on top, you can also do that. You can give it a little toss. Give it a little jimmy. There it is, yeah. This is an American carbonara. That’s what it is. I know Italians like no carbonara must be raw egg. This is American carbonara. This is what we call carbonara. Put some peas in there. I don’t have tongs. Can we go to the store and get some damn peas? Should I just dump it? Yeah, yeah, yeah, dump it. Dude, lovely. Boom. This looks very Japanese. Yeah, okay. Get some cheese on there. That’s good. Thank you, thank you. And then just a little. Pasta should also be 30% wetter when you plate it then when you expect to eat it. That’s a real thing. That’s a restaurant thing. Because noodles just soak up moisture so fast. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, it’s done. Do you want to eat it? I would love to eat this. Yay. Josh, you ready to dig in? It’s all done. I’m excited. The sauce didn’t break. It looks really nice, really creamy still. You know what this looks like? What? This looks like the Olive Garden carbonara which is a compliment. Is it? You could work at the Olive Garden. I mean the sauce looks really nice. Heavy cream is a finicky mistress but she seems to have been nice to us today. Hot damn. That’s tasty, man. Just absolutely complex. It’s really good. A very few ingredients like black pepper and lemon do a ton of the carrying of the flavor against that pancetta. You wanna know something that I didn’t talk about earlier but I’m gonna talk about it now. Go ahead. No, the noodles. Did you notice anything about the noodles? ‘Cause these are store bought noodles, Josh. Holy. I know, right? I didn’t roll out fresh spaghetti, but these are actually way better than normal. And we got it from, we asked Sporked what their like favorite noodle was ’cause they did like a whole store bought pasta taste test. Why are you doing hand motions like that you weirdo? Oh I don’t know man. We asked them what their favorite store bought pasta was and they said, I think I have it here, Rao’s. And I wasn’t surprised ’cause Rao’s makes really good product. Also cheap. Rao’s spaghetti sauce is like $10. Their pasta, this is like $2.50. Feel this noodle though. It’s so different than like normal. Coarse, nice, hefty, durum wheat. House milled semolina flour. They mill their semolina flour in house. Go check out Sporked. Unreal, yeah. Trevor, this is a delightful dish. Thank you for showing me your soul. I’m gonna take one big bite and let you do the- I feel, I’m so full. I’ve been eating so much pasta just doused in butter and cream today and I’m having a great time. For real Trevor, thank you.

Corrine made her wifey the spaghetti Napolitan from Japan. She said that her wife doesn’t typically like Italian pastas ’cause she’s not a big fan of tomatoes. So getting a little bit of the ketchup in there with Napolitan taking it outta the Italian canon into the Japanese canon which is actually a pretty cool metaphor for how like you know, different cultures transpose different foods to different tastes. That was a really good dish. I’m glad they made it. Like more people should make that. It was yummy. Corinne and wifey, y’all rule. Thank y’all so much. See you next time. Hey, you cook up your own feast while wearing the Mythical Kitchen apron. Available now @ mythical.com.
