Pasta is delicious but it is not always the healthiest option on any given menu. So, I wanted to see if there was a way to change that. Can we make our pasta healthier by doing the LEAST amount possible? Call this a hack, but I think I've found the SECRET to healthier pasta. What is it? You'll have to watch to find out!

As someone who struggles with their carb intake and is studying biochemistry, this video was not only super enjoyable to watch, but so informative! Awesome video 🥰

I worked at Olive Garden for 6 months and that beginning bit was a perfect representation of my worst nightmare 😂

[TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

I can't help but wonder if MatPat is actually in Olive Garden's most wanted list

As some one who worked at the olive garden, I can say rest assured your pasta is reheated every time you order it.
The cooks go in early in the morning boil there pasta for the day. Weigh it bag it and when it's ordered it's reheated. Enjoy!

It was such a relief to learn that we don't need to eat cold pasta to be healthy. Cold pasta always tastes exactly like sadness.

[collinvickers]

I used to work at Olive Garden. All of the pasta you're eating there is cooked, chilled and reheated before service (except in rare cases when they run out of ready pasta and have to make more on the fly). This protocol is pretty commonplace in restaurants, actually.

The implication that mat pat can single handedly tank Olive Garden stocks is such a mood

Pasta is supposed to be shocked in ice water anyways to prevent the pasta from continuing to cook after being removed from the stove. As such, it’s the sauce that you add to the pasta that should be served hot with cold noodles. Hopefully, this will slot well into the idea that reheating pasta will increase the resistive starches.

My dad used to always make cold spaghetti. Olive oil, dill, feta cheese, kalamatas, squeeze of lemon, Chopped parsley. Probably my favorite way of making it.

Me : oh new food theory on pasta “as I sit down to eat my lunch for reheated spaghetti”
Me afterwards: I’m eating healthy today

[Spooky_is_quite_silly]

My dad told me about reheating things like potatoes makes the carbs healthier just like what you said about pasta

[unlimitedfunlol]

That’s actually awesome, because with my ADHD, and being a life long pasta fiend, most of the last ten years I’ve been making extra pasta to have leftover the next few days, either chilled or reheated. Woo hoo :)

My daughter is a type 1 diabetic. We always reheat her pasta because it helps to stop the spikes that just heated pasta does. It's nice to know this is the reason why it works :)

[krissypyne]

Considering my family always cooked enough pasta for at least a few days it's good to know my love of leftovers was always the correct approach to eating my favorite foods, thank you mom and dad for teaching me to not waste food.

[pattycakes]

Im so happy i found this channel! My wife has hypoglycemia and now we know when she is feeling low she can just cook and eat hot pasta you're a life-saver MatPat!

Your intro reminded me of the first time the Unlimited bowl was offered at the Olive Garden nearest our home. I chose that as my birthday destination and ate hearty...

But not as hearty as my uncle. Who got us kicked out because he ate beyond their unlisted limit. And he and the manager argued and got us tossed out. He had his dad (a lawyer) OFFICALLY mail the corporate office from his office, got an executive payment card (AKA anything he and 1 guest orders is on the house for life) as well as the bill (for over a dozen people) refunded and a handwritten apology from the manager (who was immediately fired) and the owner of that location. All that to avoid a lawsuit.

One of the reasons I love Olive Garden, we kicked their butts for their own problems

MatPat: You're eating pasta wrong!
Me, an Italian: *_are you challenging me?_*

[Kolateak_]

Wait, so you're telling me when I'm lazy and decide to make pasta ahead of time I was just being healthy
