WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, I'm Italian and no one ever said you can't put cream in pasta. You don't put it in the carbonara but that's about it. There are many dishes where cream is added, for example pasta with peppers. So in Italy there are dishes with cream <3

This episode felt way more like classic Josh Weismann unlike the more recent episodes with big gimmicks and challenges etc. Very nice change.

Italian here. Nothing wrong with one pot pasta dishes. Sometimes you're tired after work and don't want to clean too many things. If it's good, who cares the how?

I really liked the editing in this episode! For a while many videos felt catered to a younger audience (being louder and more flashy). This episode seemed calmer and more about the food, like how the channel started. And starting with opening the cabinet again! yay!

garlic but no fresh black pepper on the carbonara? 🥺

Hey, not sure if you've ever heard of it, but "spaghetti all'assassina" is a very traditional one pot pasta recipe from Bari Italy, and it tastes delicious.

Basically you start by frying the raw dry spaghetti in olive oil with a very small amount of garlic. tomato paste and chopped fresh hot pepper (traditionally peperoncino peppers, but I've substituted other peppers or even red pepper flakes before.) In another bowl take a can of pureed or crushed tomatoes diluted about 50% with water (or less traditionally, chicken broth) and salt the watered down sauce to taste. Once the pan has sauteed for a minute or two with the dry pasta and other ingredients, slowly add the watered down tomato mixture little by little like your making a risotto. Each time you add more liquid, let the liquid absorb into the pasta completely, and let the spaghetti start to fry slightly before adding more liquid. Your trying to intentionally let the spaghetti brown a little bit more before adding more liquid each time. You keep going until the pasta has your desired level of doneness. If you run out of sauce, but it's still to dry or too hard, continue the process with plain water until it's finished.

I don't like cooking, so quick recipes like this are beautiful to see - thank you.

Edit: Funny enough, I do like watching people cook. Weird how that works.

It's not technically 1 pot, but spaghetti all'assassina is theoretically traditional and puts raw spaghetti in a pan. It's pretty good too.

I started teaching my 4 kids to cook at a young age so they could cook/eat at their dad's house. We found your channel and we love to watch your videos together. I bought your cookbook and pre-ordered your new cookbook for my 14 year-old son that loves experimenting in the kitchen. Thank you for making such great videos the whole family can watch!

If you hear a knock at your door, it’s the Pasta Police coming for you for putting garlic in your carbonara 😆

Using heavy cream is not a heresy. It is included in some pasta recipes, such as vodka pasta, scampi risotto or heavy cream tortellini (duh). Even if I seldom use heavy cream, I would still eat a pasta dish containing it because it is likely to taste good. It must be said that in Italy in the '80s heavy cream was way more popular than it is today.

the first recipe is a great cold dish for the summer. my grandma always made this dish, when it was hot in july/august and she knows it from her sicilian grandmother.

but since the other other ingredients aren't cooked, it'll be way better flavorwise

Joshua, congratulations on your wedding! Happy Day!!! Also, I'm glad to see the kitchen cabinet opening back. I missed it while it was gone.

I just made the second pasta version and i have to say that your recipes DO NOT disappoint

[enricobregni]

Fun fact us Italia love cream in pasta, it’s often used with mushroom and it’s amazing. We just get pissed at people using it in carbonara cause it’s not necessary if you prepare it correctly. Also we never have pasta with chicken, don’t ask me why😅

[Ancofy]

I made the second dish for my family today and everybody enjoyed it.I added a little twist to it where I added some cyprus cheese on top which made it really nice, since I didnt add any salt in the dish, that cheese made it come really well together. thank you joshua for a new dish in my making palate for pasta.

Nice to see you make something simple great job🥂

Italian here. Also, used to be a chef.
1) Nothing wrong with cream in pasta. We have fettuccine alla papalina (which, ironically, is basically the wrongest carbonara ever), tagliolini limone e panna, and a lot more recipes like that.
2) One pot pasta is actually really good, I always make it that way because i don't like water waste, but the best way to prepare it is to drop your pasta in the pot already filled with boiling water (use a 1:3 pasta to water ratio);
3) Look for Davide Scabin's Amatriciana, it's really good, 100% italian and totally sacrilegious.

Josh: This one pot pasta has no flavor
Also Josh: I felt like this was too many tomatoes, I used half
