It's not about the flavor of the alcohol. It's about separating alcohol-soluble flavor esters from their ingredient matrix and once some alcohol has evaporated it leaves the esters free to be tasted straightaway.

[Jacob-Vivimord]

It's not for emulsification. It's a solvent. It's for flavour. Not the flavour that it brings by itself, but the flavour that it brings out of the other ingredients.

This one had old school retro Babish vibes from the music to the intonation in the narration. Loved it.

Kenji's extensive testing indicates that added correctly it sweetens and smoothes the sauce and makes the dish more cohesive

[jordanloux]

I always heard that the alcohol draws deeper flavors out of the tomato sauce

watched this and then made it in the office kitchen today, took me about 40 mins but i also had to clean as i go and clean up afterwards before I could eat it, but it really is simple to throw together and comes out great.

Really is a super power to be able to show 2 variants, with such detail, all under 6 minutes…

My family use to make this for my birthday every year! Thank you for sharing this recipe

I’m glad I’m not the only person making pasta at 8 am lol. Except mine consisted of leftover crockpot Buffalo chicken and Great Value alfredo sauce…

[hellbach]

I appreciate an actual basic video. I really feel like the basics recently have been not very basic

[WitchyRhia]

hey i didn't see anyone talking about this but just so you know it's not for emulsification it's a solvent, nobody had mentioned that yet so i figured you should know

[matthewnelson]

I just made the second version of this for dinner and doubled everything to make enough for the family and needless to say there was no left overs

[Greenscyth]

I usually add pepper in at the end, but that's pretty spot on.

[francescogiunchi]

I'm Italian and my gradman wouldn't have done that better, looks great!

[JackEFC]

My girlfriend made this for me once and added cream cheese. Sounds absolutely crazy but it’s an amazing edition that I add myself anytime I make it now

[radicalturtle]

It would be really interesting to see Babish try and make Gumball's sandwich from The Amazing World of Gumball

[chrisgreen]

Ever consider displaying on screen the measurements in metric? these would be much more useful if instead of 1/3 cup tomato paste or 3 oz cream it showed 40g tomato paste or 85g cream for the rest of the world.

Lord Alton says tomatoes have alcohol soluble flavors

Would love to see you make Steven's Complicated Donut Order from Steven Universe episode, "Sadie Killer"

[stevenwhiters]

Tequila does give flavor tho idk about other liquors . Tequila lime shrimp a cheat code
