Why has Brad been MIA. He is one of the reason you have so many subscribers still. Have more collabs with him to ease us with the new cast instead of forcing them upon us.

[@jamestrotter927]

It’s so sad that we can no longer have middle eastern chefs on Bon Appetite. Poor Andy got lumped in with us, no good whites.

[@rebekahbristow9355]

Zaynab’s pasta in a pan has quite honestly revolutionised the way I make pasta. It’s so easy and fast and turns out really creamy and flavourful. I’ve made this 4 times in the last few weeks, changing it up a little every time depending on what’s in the kitchen but always with lots of chilli paste. I even mixed it with Chrissy’s recipe and threw in a punnet of cherry tomatoes haha. Next I need to make Chrissy’s pasta properly cos that looks incredible.

[@lucastavares5872]

the technique is called 'pasta risottata' since it cooks like risotto. I would suggest you use boiling water instead of cold water. A dish I love making that is super simple is: on a very hot pan add cherry tomatoes cut in half with the flat side down give them a nice char with the heat cranked up once they got some color, turn the heat down and add garlic and basil (or parsely) stems (save the leaves for the end) once the garlic (I prefer thinly sliced) has become golden, add your water and pasta. I prefer adding water just so it covers the pasta and then add more as I go (a kettle is perfect for this). as the pasta cooks (I really like angel hair for this, it takes 3 minutes tops), I like to squeeze the tomatoes add salt and chili flakes, keep stirring once the pasta is al dente, add the basil leaves and some pecorino Romano (Locatelli is the best you can find at the store) and a drizzle of evoo idk if I wasted 10 minutes of my life but I hope you give it a shot and let me know what you think

[@dilshaad_23]

Meanwhile in simpler terms --- '1-pot pasta' 😂

[@kn1cshe1]

Brad basically going with fancy Spaghetti-O's is the most on brand thing ever.

[@theouthousepoet]

The second I saw them I thought the same thing. Though I also have to mention that when I first read your post I read "on-brad" instead of "on-brand" LOL Which works perfectly so I'm keeping it

Also, he has an interesting way of counting to 5. 1) parsley 2) terragon 3) EVOO 4) Cheese 5) Shrimp 6) Tomato

[@kayfay2535]

He could’ve replaced the parmesan with garlic, i cant imagine this tasting that good

Me, 4 chefs into this video: “oh I can totally do these” DeVonn: “okay, now grab your cuttlefish ink…”

[@raymacklem4527]

Amazingly underrated comment right here!

[@almostremembered]

Zaynab nailed the mission - anything with 5 ingredients should be simple and easy. Hers was the epitome of that. Great stuff.

[@asma-mushtaq]

Agreed

[@riseandshine5706]

most Italian dishes use very few ingredients. It’s the technique and experience that makes the dish stand out.

[@dylanhunzeker6802]

I make this literally once a week and sub out the Calabrian chili paste with red pepper flakes as I can’t find any paste!

[@liambrennan-burke1104]

I make it all the time now after discovering it here. Everyone I’ve made it for loves it.

Question for you all! Did she really mean 2 and a quarter water for 6oz of pasta, or 16oz of pasta?

[@cixeau2449]

Devonn is so fun to watch, and I enjoy that Brad was probably very proud of him for using a salt-cured egg yolk.

[@bethhelminiak5063]

@Miss Wellness I agree - it's probably fine, but I feel like I would mess it up and make myself or someone else sick!

[@MC-ml3cn]

I'm glad they made him tone it down. Don't need a strip show in my cooking vids XD. Great recipe👌

[@vandalg282]

Of course he had to be a queen about it. Its not hard to splash anything with squid ink, honestly, it tastes horrible, he just wanted to be overtly different. Garbo.

You can also buy them as passata, I love it. ♥️

[@turrahh]

You can use the little pear-shaped orange ones too! They’re just as sweet.

[@nukesimone6772]

@Brian It only appears to be more oil because she did not add butter or cheese or fatty meat like the others did. Her dish Is VEGAN. Fat content is likely about the same if not less.

I feel you on that. Love hearing people describe something they love.

That was the one I really wanted to make. Looks delicious!

[@TheCupcakeslover]

[@garrettpreszler7857]

I've been doing pasta like that probably a couple times a month this last year and it is fantastic! It's basically like a risotto. Letting the pasta starch create a sauce. I know she was hindered by the number of ingredients, but using some sort of stock in place of the water makes it that much better! And so easy to do. Highly recommend!

[@theouthousepoet]

Honestly! And those capers and calabrian chiles! SO flavourful, so easy, and SO italian (even if they would 'never' cook pasta in the pan)

[@robinburrell4421]

Just ordered the chili paste!

[@lindagsanchez5]

Chrissy’s pasta looks so good!! Definitely making that

[@MegaLeDuff]

Devonn killed it! I’m all about Brad because I relate but Devonn was as descriptive and fun as the best of them. Look forward to seeing more of him.

[@chrissyd4279]

If I understand correctly, Chrissy is entirely plant based and so any video featuring her will be completely vegan!

[@SLCliving]

I missed Brad so much! I love his videos, and could watch them all day! The rest of the crew is delightful as well, don't get me wrong Yall are a blessing in my life and I learned so many great ways to make pasta today!

[@sheepparadise]

tried panchetta and peas, it was very tasty, thanks for the tip.

[@bdellovibrioo5242]

Chrissy's recipes are always so visually stunning (and taste great to boot).

[@eclecticexplorer7828]

I would go with Zaynab's as my first choice, followed by Chrissy's. I thought Zaynab's one-pan approach was interesting, but you have to really make sure that you get the right amount of water. If you have too much, you would perhaps have to pull out the pasta for a little while while the sauce reduces to prevent winding up with limp, soggy noodles.

[@vandalg282]

Brad's us easy, filling, and incorporates classic mixes, everyone else had no idea what real pasta dishes are.

[@rebekahbristow9355]

I’ve made it a few times now and get more relaxed with the water every time. Just make sure it’s juuust covered and then you can add more to water as you go, like risotto

[@marisaanna]

[@smileyriley1001]

My pantry pasta is shallot, red pepper flakes, capers, thyme, and lemon juice/zest. I also use butter, why wasn’t that one of the freebies 🥲 And IF I have cream then I’ll add a teeny splash at the end with the pasta water. But that puts me above 5 😬 4:54 Definitely gonna try the calabrian chili paste instead of red pepper flakes like I normally do!! Thanks for the tip ☺️

For cold tomato sauced pasta, we put it into a loaf pan, well compacted, and slice it for later. Saute a slice in olive oil/butter and top with an egg for a zippy breakfast. Use a slice cold topped with a salad of bitter greens, herbs, olives etc. Stick a slice in a sandwich. We've been doing that as long as I can remember. Love it. Give it a try.
