Pasta Al Limone | Basics with Babish

What's better than pasta aglio olio? Very few things, but one of them is its saucy cousin, pasta al limone. Traditionally a creamy emulsion of oil, lemon, and pasta water, this simple but indulgent dish can be amped up a number of ways. Let's lemon! Or something.

As a college student living alone and buying her own groceries for the first time, these videos are mega helpful. And that no cream version? My lactose intolerant self thanks you from the bottom of my heart.

"We don't want the pasta to have any kinks."
"Use the paddle."
"Quiet, you."

The oven seemingly shutting itself at 6:11 startled me more than I'd like to admit

[alexwolfe]

Babish-“It has been a really tough week.”
Me: Yes gurl it has

[BlackOctoberFox]

Let's start with the American version:

*immediately throws in a large knob of butter and lots of full fat cream*

Seems about right.

For Thanksgiving, make all the dishes from the dinner banquet that appeared in Shrek 2: turkey, lobster, roast pig, fondue, etc.

Optional: Get a few people to recreate the dinner argument and play the roles of Shrek, Fiona, Harold, Lillian, and Donkey

Babish : *So now is the American version*
Me How exactly
Babish : We will add Butter and heavy cream
Me: Ok

Italian Police squad : *Your mama di las Mia*

Butter is a traditional ingredient in al Limone, not an Americanized addition. Also try adding fresh mint instead of or as well as parsley, It goes better with the lemon. Also pecorino is a better cheese since it stands up to the strong lemon flavour better than Parmesan. 👍👍

Made this today!
Took me 2 hours, I burnt the garlic, added too much chili and the pasta became so thick, my whole family will be constipated tomorrow...
Andrew is a greatly skilled cook, and this made me realise how greatly unskilled I am 😂
Love the videos! Keep 'em coming, and I'll keep learning 👍🏻

Just wanted to share that I made this tonight (I went with the egg version!) and it was one of the most satisfying things I’ve ever eaten! And so easy for the amount of payoff you get!

[MuffinYoBusiness]

The moment you said Americanize I immediately thought “he’s gonna add butter and heavy cream too it...”

[DiplexHeated]

The problem with the american version is that mixing lots of lemon with cream almost turns it into sour cream, if that makes any sense. some chemical process, I guess.

You should try to make the butter dishes that were seen/mentioned in The Looney Tunes Show episode, "Bobcats on Three", for Thanksgiving

“We could all use a lot of pasta” Truer words have never been spoken.

[Flackon]

As Chef John would say: "And remember, you are the boss of your pasta"

Chef John would say something that's also relevant: "And remember, you are the boss of your parsley"

Babish is the only person who can make the word "slurry" sound appetising.
