Not Spaghetti Carbonara - You Suck at Cooking (episode 138)

I set out to really not make carbonara but I ended up accidentally mostly making carbonara. Everyone makes mistakes.

It's late and I'm tired so remind me and I'll write out the recipe complete with very approximate amounts of things that go in it

Okay thanks for the reminders:

Recipe:

A few pieces of bacon chopped up into pieces that are smaller than the whole strip
Cook the bacon in your pan on medium until it's getting close to crispy but not quiet
Take some egg yolks...for two people maybe three? Or one whole egg if you're feeling risky?
Grate pecorino (or parmesan if you like) into the yolks and beat until you get Cadbury cream egg filling. Or go buck wild until you have putty
Cook 156 pieces of spaghetti until it's el dente inside a bucket of salted water
Or you can put your finger and index together and use that much spaghetti for two people, if your'e using my hand to measure
Take your bacon off the heat until it's not sizzling and a bit longer.
Add a bit of pasta water to the egg and cheese mixture until it's a nice smooth sauce
Take your spaghetti straight from the bucket into the bacon pan and Wangjangle
Add in the sauce and keep Wangjangling, then add some spaghetti water with your pan on low and continue Wangjangling until it's creamy but thickens
Hide somewhere and break one piece of spaghetti in half to feel like a badass
Once the sauce is how you like it, eat it immediately. It's not really a dish to store and eat later so start eating and don't stop until it's done.

This is perfect, I've never seen someone dodge the carbonara trap so elegantly. The song really hits home

I'm italian. I'm crying. Not for angry but for feels. I love you man. You made my day with this.

My Italian Grandpa was one of the spaghetti craftsperson’s in our area. Unfortunately, he died quite early as he accidentally stepped on one of the noodles and broke it in half. The police came and we never heard from him again. miss you nonnuccio.

Rule of thumb: If you ever make italian food, dont ever show it to an Italian. He will find something his grandmother did differently and he will judge you for it. Trust me.

Just be careful not to make real carbonara by mistake, i recommend garlic to be on the safe side.

[SHGNY]

You know what's the greatest part of being an adult? Is I can watch a video about spaghetti at like 10pm and get really hungry for spaghetti, and I can just make it
I don't need to ask permission, nobody's gonna come by and be like wtf why are you making spaghetti at 10pm? I can just make it, eat enough to feed a small family, and die fat and happy knowing Im in a good place right now

[Lavaeolus]

As an italian I ABSOLUTELY love how you're roasting how annoying we can be with our dishes lol

[gabrielebusnelli]

As an Italian who's spent six years in the US, I'd say this is the BEST video about the complicated relationship between our different ways of cooking. Your irony is always on point, but I can also see how much you love Italian food.

BTW, your carbonara is way better than most Italians would ever be able to make - unless you're the one person who lives in that apartment, in that building, in that block, in that neighborhood in Rome.

Remember: even if you have Guanciale, if your Italian hand gesture drops for even a second, it stops being carbonara.

Due to this and several other factors, some Italianologists believe that carbonara is a myth and has never actually been made

[SmegulonPrime]

If you use minced horsemeat in Italian cooking it is actually spaghetti bologneighs

[tameyoshi]

That outro ballad was just so beautiful, I cried tears of pasta water

[raulendymion]

As a board certified Italian American, familiar with traditional carbonara and it’s freedom fighting cousin, your video has earned a 10/10 broken spaghetti noodles rating.

[LogsMaggot]

You’ve picked up wonderfully the sentiment of a lot of my compatriots when they get all angry about this. As an Italian myself I always love to see their angry faces when I tell them I love to spice up the guanciale with some garlic when cooking it. Don’t knock it till you try it

[gwennorthcutt]

preparing the egg in a side bowl is actually really useful. i always stress out about timing and hot pans so that makes it so much easier for me to make Not Carbonara

[thegodofpez]

I never get tired of how good this guy’s editing skills are. Seriously next level.

[bdavidson]

Things we totally aren't doing today:

1) Making carbonara.
2) Playing with those wonderful puppies and kitties YSAC buys in bulk.
3) Failing to enjoy another great episode.

[ciscoortega]

hit me with the italian opening and I just know it's gonna be a good episode!

[guillermoelprimero]

“Since noodles are made of wheat this is essentially a bacon sandwich” HAHHA I LOVED THAT ONE

[TheBlrp]

Smart. Making legally distinct pasta to avoid the Italian lynch mob.

[guilhermemalkut]

Instructions unclear, i accidentally made Carbonara.
