00:00 Intro
00:04 Pasta al Tonno
01:53 Pasta Amatriciana
03:55 Pasta Nerano
05:50 Spaghetti Aglio e Olio
08:26 Pasta Alfredo
Aglio e Olio:
4 cloves minced garlic
chopped parsley
Salt and boil our pasta. Save a cup of pasta water before you drain it and now we make the sauce.
In a frying pan that’s large enough to hold all the spaghetti later, drizzle in ¼ cup of olive oil and let it get shimmery on medium heat. I’ll add all the garlic in and let it cook in a single layer, just until the slivers get golden brown. If you want this a little spicy, you can also add some chili flakes too. So once it looks how you want it and the garlic is nice and fragrant, we’ll add 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water to stop the frying, and it’ll get the garlic nice and soft and create a sauce that will cling to our pasta.
Once the sauce has reduced a bit, we’ll add our cooked pasta in, along with ¼ cup of parmesan cheese, our parsley. Turn off the heat and mix mix mix. Now we just simply plate and enjoy the pasta either as a side or a main.
Spaghetti: 66 cents
Garlic: 40 cents
Olive Oil: 50 cents
Parsley: 10 cents
Parmesan Cheese: $1.50
Chili flakes: 10 cents
Total: $3.20 / $1.10 per serving
Pasta Al Tonno -
I have some cherry tomatoes, about 1 cup of it to help with the sauce. Just slice it in half and set aside. Now to get cooking, we’ll drizzle in a couple tablespoons of olive oil, add some crushed garlic, and our cherry tomatoes. I’ll let them sizzle up and cook for a few minutes and then we’ll add our canned tuna, some chili flakes if you want it spicy, 2 tablespoons of your favorite marinara, and 1 tablespoon of fish sauce.
add a little bit of pasta water and your cooked pasta. I’m using rigatoni this time because the tuna gets into the tube and you get everything in one bite. Let it all simmer for a few minutes and then we plate. Sprinkle it with some fresh basil
Tuna: $2.19
Rigatoni: $1.00
Olive Oil: .25
Fish Sauce: .50
Cherry Tomatoes: 1.00
Marinara: $.40
Basil: .50
Total: $5.00 per serving : $2.50
Pasta Amatriciana:
shallots that we’ll chop, and then canned tomatoes.
Now to cook it off, I’m going to start with the pancetta. We’ll render the fat and let it cook down until it’s nice and crispy, then I’ll take out the pancetta and set it aside.
Now in the same pan, i’ll fry up our shallots until it’s fragrant but not quite golden brown. If you need a little more oil, go ahead and add it. Then we’ll add our crushed tomatoes, a little salt and pepper to taste, and we’ll let the sauce cook down for about 10 minutes to absorbe all the different flavors here. In the meantime, cook your pasta - i’m using spaghetti again here but bucatini is a popular choice for this dish. Drain and reserve some pasta water.
Add the spaghetti with ¼ cup of pasta water and the pancetta back into the pan and let it simmer for a few minutes before serving. Serve and add pecorino and chili flakes.
At $3.50 per serving, this is a little more on the pricey side of this video but definitely worth it.
Pancetta: $5.00
Shallots: $.20
Spaghetti: $.60 cents
Tomato sauce: $2.00
Parmesan: $.30
Pasta Nerano
I’ll start by slicing our zucchini into thin rounds. Get a large pan, add ½ a cup of olive oil, and fry up our zucchini slices in batches, remove and drain on a plate lined with paper towel. Salt the zucchini while still hot and repeat the steps until you’ve gone through all the zucchini.
In the meantime boil and cook your pasta
take half of the zucchini and we’re going to mash it down. I’m using an immersion blender to get it nice and creamy. Now into the same pan that we cooked the zucchini off earlier, add 1 tbsp of butter, 2 cloves of minced garlic and fry them up for a minute, then add the blended zucchini, our pasta, and a bit of pasta water to thin out the sauce. Let it warm through and now we add the rest of the zucchini in along with some torn basil. Mix it well and let’s serve. Only $1.70 per serving
Zucchini: $1.50
butter: .20
Garlic: .20
Spagthetti: .60
Parmesan Cheese:.20
Basil: 30
Olive Oil: .60
Pasta Alfredo:
Slice up baby bella mushrooms and fresh parsley
To cook this, I’ll add a tbsp of butter, let it melt then we’ll cook up our mushrooms, season it with salt and pepper and once it has sweat down a bit, we’ll add the garlic, 1 1/2 cups of whole milk, plus 4 oz of cream cheese. Let it come to a simmer for 5 minutes and stir everything together so it could become a nice sauce.
add in our cooked pasta, add ½ cup of grated parmesan or pecorino roman o cheese, some pasta water
Hit it with some fresh parsley we chopped up earlier and this is a comforting dish that will only cost you $1.85 per serving.
Milk: .50
Cream cheese: 1.20
Mushrooms: $1.00
Garlic: .20
Butter: .10
Parsley: .20
Pasta: .75

As an Italian woman I throughly… I have a tip for the garlic and oil pasta.. instead of letting ur oil heat then putting ur garlic in, I add both my garlic and oil together then slowly bring them both up to temp.. it will give u a better flavored oil with more depth… also don’t add the cheese at the end, let the simplicity of the dish speak for itself.. just something to try if u would like

[@honeysuckle]

thanks for ur tips!! i’ll try heating up the oil with garlic next time . a nice infusion of flavors!

[@megan-te2bu]

i do this too!

[@rachaelrachael6787]

Sometimes i use garlic butter (instead of butter/oil & garlic)!

[@rosiealmy3388]

@@rachaelrachael6787 yes! because the butter evens out, as not to burn the garlic easily

Thanks for the quick and easy recipes! Your face when you dropped the cheese bowl 🤣 Question on mushroom prep: Do you recommend washing them before cooking?

I usually brush off any debris but I learned I shouldn’t wash cause they absorb a lot of water

Fried zucchini. The cheese should be Sorrento's own Provolone del Monaco, a large, semi-aged, It may be hard to find outside of the region, so Parmesan or caciocavallo (or even better, a mixture of the two cheeses can be use. Garlic, you see, is not quite the staple of Italian cuisine “Fettuccine alfredo are not a thing in Italy,” but in the US it has become a staple in many restaurants that brand themselves Italian. In Italy, to what Italians call pasta burro e parmiggiano (pasta with butter and parmesan cheese). Italians eat this, but at home. Your way of making pasta is often referred to as Pasta del Cornuto - which translates as “Cuckold’s Pasta” Serving pasta Alfredo in the US - with chicken -Mushrooms is beyond imaginable.

[@devleenadutta]

which pan r u using ?

[@risasklutteredkitchen1293]

You have to look for real San Marzano tomatoes from Italy because in the U.S. some companies put the name in the can too get more for the can. They may be the San Marzano breed so they are technically the real thing but not from Italy so they aren't actual San Marzano.

I feel like the pasta water makes it too watery and makes it look less appetizing. But if that’s the way you like okay! 😅

[@honeysuckle]

def use less if you prefer! i like mine sauceyyyyyyyy 🍝🍝🍝

[@krystalynnemarie1262]

Yes agreed, I feel like dishes are more saucey without the water lol. Adding so much water makes it look like there’s no sauce

[@krystalynnemarie1262]

All of these recipes look delicious but I feel like wayyy too much pasta water is added in these recipes. For example, a classic authentic Alfredo is known for being creamy and thick, and this Alfredo turned out very watered down.

[@honeysuckle]

It was creamy enough and still light, as you can see in the plating. And this video is about healthier alternatives rather than authentic recipes

[@krystalynnemarie1262]

@@honeysuckle I see where you’re coming from, I’m just saying the sauce looked perfect before adding a bunch of pasta water, and to be fair adding starchy water doesn’t make a dish healthier anyways. Everyone has a different palette though! I just personally wouldn’t add as much pasta water.
