Food Lab Basics: POV Cacio e Pepe (Roman mac and cheese), in about 12 minutes.

Here's how I make cacio e pepe, the classic Roman dish of pasta with cheese and pepper. Traditionally you'd make it with just olive oil, black pepper, and pecorino romano. I like to add just a little butter. Sorry.

Makes a great midnight snack.

While making Roman pasta:

"People are going to crucify me for this"

ah good he isn't actually locked in his restaurant

[eddieisales]

Kenji: everyone will criticize me for this

Me: lift your head king, your GoPro is tilting

We’re really getting spoilt with all this Kenji at the moment

"Easiest pasta dish around"...*Cries in Babish*

[dArk-ewtd]

Bruh I don’t know what kenji is talking about I’m just happy he’s doing POV cooking more

[Lavaeolus]

As an Italian I can confirm that the only thing that matters about food is the friends you made while raging about it

I tried cooking my dry pasta this way recently on your advice and won't be going back to a giant pot. Noticed no difference in the eating but a big time and water saving in the making. I also made your ultra smashed burgers. Got some time on my hands recently. Anyway it all turned out great, thanks for the tips.

After the latest botched by babish, Kenji bringing this dish together looks like straight up magic

[rksb]

I think Italy has more things to worry about than some butter in a caccio e pepe

[piotrwalczak]

Kenji: "Looks like I only got bucatini"
*_angry Italian noises in the far_*

Absolute legend, giving us quality stuff to watch while we're all stuck in our homes.

Smart man. Everyone’s holed up in their houses because of the Coronavirus with nothing to do, so he uploads damn near daily to maximize views. IQ: 200

(I’m definitely not complaining though, love this channel)

I would probably watch Kenji cook every single meal he makes for his family. I'd also watch a POV trip to the market.

Yesterday: fastest pasta recipe
Today: easiest pasta recipe

Kenji, tonight I used the methods from this and the other Roman pasta videos to make a Shrimp and linguini dish with parm and black pepper. It was amazing. The sauce became a sauce from the super starchy water, the pasta just drank it up in the shrimp sauce. The sauce didn't break and it was luscious and tasty. Thank you for these videos, they are helping the masses. Or at least my wife and I. Cheers and stay safe.

I'm super here for the return of FPC -- I kind of love the Goldeneye 007 "sweep into first-person view" intros.

[Somesortadog]

2:47 That feeling when Kenji washes his hands properly without making a big deal about it. Not all heroes wear capes.

[zip-untz]

My gram used to make me this when I was a kid in her restaurant and I haven't had it in a long long time so thanks Kenji this video really made me happy

[peepingpetersons]

I love to watch and rewatch all of the first person cooking videos. I find the experience relaxing and very satisfying, so I was hesitant about speaking in the newer videos. I must say I am delighted with the new formats! I really have not found a better way for me to learn how to cook and relax at the same time!
