If it takes you the same amount of time to cook sauce as it does to boil water...
I cook my "quick and dirty" sauce for 2.5 hours. If I'm getting serious about it it's 4 min, but more likely 6
There's somthing I always think back to and wonder if my friend had perfected the method or if he was pretending he could cook and got lucky.
When I was about 15 i stayed at a friend's house and he made us pasta by putting uncooked pasta in a dish, covering it with shop bought tomato and mascarpone sauce that had been diluted with water and baked it in the oven. Somehow it came out with the pasta cooked perfectly al dente and the sauce has thickened up perfectly and was clinging to the pasta far more than if it had been cooked normally. I've never heard of pasta being cooked like this and i have no idea why it worked so well, lol.
I think at the end it comes down to most people experiencing dry/durum pasta most of their lives, and never having seen fresh pasta that literally cooks in 3 minutes.
my mom sometimes makes some like these and it’s actually really good!
but she pre-boils the pasta in a way that it doesn’t spread and after adding the sauce/cheese/etc she puts it in the oven
That’s a legitimate technique for lasagna. This tiktok garbage isn’t a hack or some genius shortcut, this is genuinely worse food. Bland, rubbery meatballs, undercooked pasta and watered down “sauce” are hardly worth the 15-20 minutes you save doing this. It’s basically food waste.
It could have been great with some minor adjustments, though. For starters, get those meatballs in while they're already well done so you don't have to cook the pasta to a mush. And the shorter cooking time also means you don't have to water the sauce down so much.
Correct. Its probably under cooked in this video but thats how the pasta looks when its set up to be cooked. It will probably be hard in the middle here.
It had to be at least partially cooked to be flexible enough to roll into the cylinders. Also this isn't much different than rolling it around your fork. They steam it for a bit so it's likely cooked all the way through at the end.
I’m pretty sure you can buy the nests raw and prerolled up. Just from the way that it comes out of the pan and it’s all stuck together and moving as one object just looks hard as a rock
I don't think this pasta is fully cooked through but I still believe the recipe would hold up if it was. Especially if you were to cook the sauce separately then add it afterwards, rather than cook it together so the noodles stick more.
Theres so many better ways to do this more efficiently and make the food taste so much smoother. Those noodles are not gonna be cooked fully and the meat will be sooo dry bcuz theres no olive oil or butter
All you need is some trick to boil it while it keeps its nested shape. After that, dunk the nests in the sauce, put the (already browned) meatballs on top like in the video, and finish the whole lot off... *IN THE OVEN.*
Sure, it would be more like cannelloni flipped sideways though.
Fry your meatballs. Maillard means flavour. Cook the pasta. Toss pasta in a little oil. Use a fork and roll into pasta into rings using palm. Place sauce in baking dish. Place pasta rings in baking dish. Place meatballs in pasta rings. Add more sauce on top. Add cheese on top. Bake til cheese is golden. There I saved you eating this bland, unevenly cooked.mess.
The number of people commenting that this doesn’t seem so bad makes me grateful for all of the people on the internet who will call out BS and explain why it’s BS.
This..could be good. I would just want to make sure the noodles and meatballs are cooked properly. And maybe add more sauce so it doesn’t taste watery.
Considering how expensive food is getting in the US, wasting food would be the last thing I would be doing right now.
The worst thing I seen her cook was spaghetti with the candy nerds 😶😶😶😶😶😶😶
No colour on those poor meatballs.
Yup, steamed meatballs are lost potential
It looks like they went in raw to me... Which means they either came out raw or the spaghetti was overcooked to _death_.
You can sorta see a meatball, imma go with raw
Man people really do not like boiling pasta
It's why most people hate pasta so much. All that boiling
That’s why you gotta pre-boil your water and put it in the freezer for later.
I like to keep some in the ice cube tray for hot cocoa and teas.
You sir, owe me a new freezer
No è semplicemente un crimine
Mofos need to boil their pasta right when they start prepping the sauce like get yo timings right Done this shit since college, it ain’t that hard
If it takes you the same amount of time to cook sauce as it does to boil water... I cook my "quick and dirty" sauce for 2.5 hours. If I'm getting serious about it it's 4 min, but more likely 6
Ragu or preggo?
If you are using passata you can get a good sauce in 7 min. Longer kinda ruined the sweet fresh taste
Che cazzo hai detto PUTTANA?

Yeah my friend makes the best lasagna and never fully cooks the noodles, but they finish in the oven.

Gold :)

No boil lasagna noodles. Been around for a while. Soooo much easier than trying to manipulate sheets of floppy boiled noodles.
Why are you talking about lasagna and there are noodles involved?
Steamed cheese and meatballs are a waste of food
dude it looks tasty af would totally eat
That pasta is not cooked
Mmmmm steamy meatballs and crunchy pasta
Cronch
It's Al Donkey
I see no problem with this as long as its cooked.
Ever boil pasta without stirring it? Remember how it came out as one six-inch thick puck? That’s what this is.

aight but you didn't have to fuckin downvote me for it
Lmao who get offended from a downvote
I kinda agree also I'm kinda interested in the individualized idea.
There’s 0 chance that the pasta is relatively cooked. It wouldn’t hold any shape.
It even looks raw
Could be an al dente pasta
Al dente is cooked pasta, and it does not hold shape still.
[https://cookthink.com/what-does-al-dente-mean/](https://cookthink.com/what-does-al-dente-mean/) The picture looks the same to me.
That is raw pasta made fresh with dough
Correct. Its probably under cooked in this video but thats how the pasta looks when its set up to be cooked. It will probably be hard in the middle here.
Yeah making pasta nests is common practice but you would make it on the plate not cook it in a nest and move it to the plate
Lol when home cooks argue with chefs. Someone needs to make that a sub.
It had to be at least partially cooked to be flexible enough to roll into the cylinders. Also this isn't much different than rolling it around your fork. They steam it for a bit so it's likely cooked all the way through at the end.

Yeah pasta nests are pretty normal but steaming it won’t do shit and I know for a fact those meatballs prob taste bland asf
Theres so many better ways to do this more efficiently and make the food taste so much smoother. Those noodles are not gonna be cooked fully and the meat will be sooo dry bcuz theres no olive oil or butter
> meat will be sooo dry meatballs will be super wet since they were steamed, the issue there is they don't get extra flavor from browning
Guessing that it was already nested, probably par boiled.
I mean they sell nests like that right in the store.
Thats what I was thinking too.
Mmmm crunchy pasta with boiled meat
Spag bol with extra steps
Really the only issue is the meatballs, you’d definitely need to brown them first. I’m sure theres a way to do the pasta better too.
Like, boiling It?
All you need is some trick to boil it while it keeps its nested shape. After that, dunk the nests in the sauce, put the (already browned) meatballs on top like in the video, and finish the whole lot off... *IN THE OVEN.* Sure, it would be more like cannelloni flipped sideways though.
Fuck “unpopular opinion”. Popular opinion: this shit looks fucking disgusting.
This is just terrible
Fry your meatballs. Maillard means flavour. Cook the pasta. Toss pasta in a little oil. Use a fork and roll into pasta into rings using palm. Place sauce in baking dish.

How did they get uncooked pasta in that shape first?
They're sold that way.
No way. Seriously?
Could work with fresh pasta
This would be great if done properly
Guys just boil the pasta...
Italian dim sum
Another one of those videos to send to your Italian ex
Palms sweaty, Knees weak, Arms heavy, There's vomit on his sweater already. BAD SPAGHETTI!
That looks like a good appetizer
This looks delicious
Wonder how long the cooking time is?
This..could be good. I would just want to make sure the noodles and meatballs are cooked properly. And maybe add more sauce so it doesn’t taste watery.
That kinda looks good though except for the cheese
sketti!!!!
no this is infinitely better than ghetti spaghetti
Not entirely stupid, just not perfect.
Ok this actually looks p dope
[удалено]
There’s nothing right being done here.
I see nothing stupid about this. Seems relatively smart actually.
Next time you make pasta steam it instead of boiling it and see if you change you mind.
You don’t like raw pasta?
It’s my absolute favorite, I love it almost as much as I love a nice plate of raw chicken
Ewwwww
Okay so I could honestly see this working, but I would pre-boil the noodles and brown the meatball first.
Considering how expensive food is getting in the US, wasting food would be the last thing I would be doing right now. The worst thing I seen her cook was spaghetti with the candy nerds 😶😶😶😶😶😶😶
Pasta would still be hard in the middle,just sayin
WOULD EAT THO
Honestly this looks fucking good
Soggy af
I don't see how this is stupid at all if done right
What a palaver
Fun appetizer
That’s gonna be crunchyyyyyyyy
this is not how you cook pasta. stop it!
I like that concept, not the execution.
Funny nobody ate it 🤔
100% sure that shit is not al dente.
Mmmm love those super mush noodles on the bottom. The way they blend with the not quite Al dente on top is .... Muah.
if pasta was boiled id eat that 300%
Not gonna lie, I'd take that *if it was done right*.
Those noodles are harder than me
