You down with OPP? (One Pot Pasta)

[@thugmonk9837]

Yeah you know me 😂

[@nabokovfan87]

Sounds good. I just would have to see something without mushrooms!

[@marychristensen8596]

I've never done it before. I was a sceptic like you, but now I will have to try it. DH doesn't like mushrooms, so I'll put in some other vegetable that he doesn't find offensive. And use my mushrooms for something just for me! ;)

[@HRoss22]

One day one of my older coworkers was singing OPP and I decided to ask if she knew what the song was about... you know, because we were in an office setting and it may not be appropriate... She looked horrified and said, "This is ZZTop all over again! I thought a pearl necklace was just a lovely gift!" Now I think of her every time I hear O.P.P.

[@Blue-xk8vq]

Never tried it before but very intrigued now!

[@Guariita]

Im a simple man: I see crispy bits in the title, I click

[@CarlaLalliMusic123]

Same

[@marcoglatz6452]

For all fellow plantbased people: Just blend some cashews with lots of nutritional yeast + garlic powder and salt to subsitute the parm and voila, you got the equally delicious vegan version! :)

[@Madisonisnotmynamedummy-tx8xk]

Yuck 🤮

[@ttt0904]

Better than bouillon also has a few vegan flavors and the vegetable one is actually the most universal/best of all their flavors IMO

[@xoch1717]

yes! I love the “seasoned vegetable base” or “no chicken” and “roasted garlic” bouillons

[@emmalee3462]

You read my mind! That "no chicken" BTB base has been truly life-altering for me. @CarlaLalliMusic123 your brothy beans are a total staple (and crowd favorite) in our household w that broth base if any of your other veg fans reading need a spin it :-) (Also been perfect for matzoh ball or no-meat chicken noodle imo)

[@juliadasilva2293]

Literally came here to say just this!!! I love the no beef one it’s so umami and rich would be perfect with those mushrooms

[@hiweslie]

I've made them and I was always pretty "meh" about it, BUT I'd bet money that I used bronze die cut pasta. My main complaint was that it was always glompy and kind of gelled. YOU MAY HAVE SOLVED MY PROBLEM. Such wisdom, Carla. Such wisdom.

[@davidfletcher4449]

🍳So much better than the "One Pot Pasta' dishes you normally see.

[@user-hd8yt1un2n]

Please look into the issues with better help selling client data as well as the terrible ways they treat and compensate their therapists. As a therapist, I’m all about more accessible, mental healthcare, but better help is not it.

[@Blue-xk8vq]

My dad is a therapist and it truly is life saving but yes, but I agree BetterHeIp is not good, very problematic. I've seen a few videos from my favorite creators today and they all had an ad for it, made me sad honestly. They pick content creators with integrity and then use them to sell that service :(

[@user-hd8yt1un2n]

[@ria8894]

i looove listening to Carla's train of thought and info. so therapeutic. also, pasta = therapeutic

[@simashakeri95]

oh this is perfect. my current living situation involves having no access to a proper stove or oven, just one plug in induction burner, so i've been sticking to one pot things, and thus not really had pasta made at home in ages. AND THIS LOOKS DELICIOUS. excited to bring home cooked pasta back into my life.

[@dAfoodie101]

yay for pasta, but betterhelp has been notoriously sketchy!

[@mswynd]

Thank you so much for such detailed thinking aloud! I have learned so much about what to think about and evaluate as I cook. It's made cooking dinner way more fun.

[@LuigiNotaro]

Basically a reverse Spaghetti all'Assassina. Nice.

[@madeline4269]

This is my favorite technique of making a quick dinner for my wife and I ! ❤ love you Carla!

[@meloello]

My husband and I just got married and I am excited to make this for us on a dinner night ! ❤

[@madeline4269]

Congratulations!🎉

[@simtanic8]

I'm going to try this this weekend, it looks just simple enough yet will be so rich and flavorful. Thank you!

[@Bougie92]

I've done one skillet pasta before and it turned out yummy. You've given me a new idea by adding mushrooms. Yay!

[@beccathebee123]

This looks so good!

[@colmkirk8657]

I've been eating Humboldt Fog for about 18 years, and now I love you even more. Can't wait to try this!

[@annedavidson1726]

Great recipe! I’ve done one skillet chicken lemon orzo and also chicken mushroom orzo. Love one pot dishes!

[@jonathanjeffrey6136]

Ahhhh looks devine! Thanks for sharing this Carla x

[@artlesscalamity348]

I’ve been doing one-skillet pastas lately, mainly because I hate washing pots. Was skeptical too but it’s all in the timing. I like to do pasta con sarde, or a basic marinara/primavera. Spaghetti’s great because it’s easy to keep submerged as the sauce reduces. I find with other shapes like rotini or fusilli I have to fuss with it a bit more because the ends want to poke up. Love this roasted red pepper idea, esp. with the mushrooms, looks very earthy and rustic!

[@macaoron]

Steam frying/covered pan-frying is a method I’ve used a lot in the past, especially for pork chops!

[@inMuro]

this looks amazing, thank you!

[@rossjones1530]

BetterHelp is *not* good, they’re really bad for being deceptive and pushy, and they’ve been a bit skeevy with regards to data security…

[@adammarcusable]

Yep! It's a VC nightmare. They sold personal patient info, in violation of their privacy policy and were forced to pay a substantial fine for it.

[@addiehuguenet4027]

So glad to find I’m not the only one who enjoys breakfast pasta! 😊

[@John-by6jw]

Looks great!

[@emberchord]

Hello yes hi, I made this recipe yesterday and it was absolutely stunning. The mushrooms basically melted in my mouth. I also added a generous tablespoon of white miso to the stock, for even more depth!

[@OneOlive1]

Wow, this looks good!

[@ahrieltyson2471]

I love that every ad i got on this video was Carla's 😊 i didn't realize they could do that!

[@user-oh8vr9ce8c]

This was so yummy.. for added protein I added a can of white beans!

[@libertyblueskyes2564]

Ima gonna make this for lunch.

[@moxierower1806]

Excellent recipe! Try adding the noodle a couple minutes before the liquid to toast them a bit. Another dimension.

[@iamkrisan]

i always turn my nose up at a one pot pasta recipe, but i trust you with everything so i KNOW this is good!

[@trayvixk4642]

It's all about the timing and liquid ratio. I was a skeptical with one pot pasta for years but converted after Gabie Kook did it. She was like Carla too, pretty skeptical, but has ended up making a few recipes that way.

[@MariosPhilippou-jl9df]

that looks delicious

[@Johnysrevenge]

You’re the best 💖

[@Mia-ob6ee]

Carla! on your note re: steam- i make your burst tomato chicken from TSSG at least 1x/week, and that recipe benefits so much from steam! It saves me at least 5-7 minutes of cook time on the tomatoes to cover with a lid without losing any deliciousness 🙂

[@freudianslipp]

my dad used to have those same blue fish bowls!!!!! oh my goodness. he passed many years ago and I forgot all about those bowls-- what a nice surprise :)

[@aimeewynhausen9924]

Looks terrific and now I can finally break out my new pot!

[@John-by6jw]

Try Rogue Creamery Smokey Blue. You'll soon forget about the fog. Best cheese I've tasted in years.

[@paulorr4896]

Welcome to the club, Ms. Carla. 😀

[@cheungzane]

Were those GOLD TWEEZERS?! Love it

[@clairewright8153]

Looks so yummy 😊😊😊

[@MrGamerCaptain]

i love one pot recipes

[@kb2023]

I love a good one skillet pasta

[@PoignantSnack]

wait a minute. i’d like to hear more about breakfast pasta

[@fishmeowing]

omg the double carla lalli music ads on the carla lalli music video? u know im watching every second

[@lindalovessparkles16]

perfect timing i have a jar of peppers in my fridge! universal experience?!😂

[@xiaoshuangwu4680]

this lip color is stunning

[@jackoddy3243]

Another day another slay

[@auchhaus]

Carla, you converted me. Love you!

[@dmitrybelyakov]

this is cool and easy

[@markros83]

Now I am a believer.🍝Hi from Costa Rica

[@thelettermegan]

Hey Carla just came here to say I made your any fruit galette with mangos and now my husband is counting down the days until mangos are in season again

[@djodonoghue]

OPP, yeah you know me! 🔥

[@Heybros233]

I’ve been a skeptic like you with the one pot pasta…. I feel like you’ve converted me 🍝

[@catpastor]

You had me at shiitake

[@KB-yl9cr]

or the veggie better than Boullon! it's so delicious. and the mild Mina harissa is excellent as a red pepper puree.

[@lindalovessparkles16]

i just made this - omg out of this world good, the boyfriend said “this is incredible”

[@sunlesb1an]

Thank u for giving me the OPPortunity to use up my sad lonely jar of roasted red peps!!

[@elnavandermerwe5098]

OK, so up until today I thought OPP was for kitchen hooligans and therefore I sneered at it from the side of my nose. You have however convinced me and I shall try it. Your secret is of course starting with flavour building ...

[@MzBenita]

Jollof Pasta 🤔I'd try it.

[@dr.m.h.patterson8121]

CARLA! 2 things: 1) the bold lip - yes ma'am... and 2) you know best, but personally, half the weirdly soothing/ASMR element to watching cooking shows is watching the chopping! I'm not kidding. I'm weird, but watching things get chopped is so relaxing & cool. So I for one would disagree that none of us out here "want to watch you chop" that onion & garlic! It also helps to watch people w/ good knife skills, since I'm always trying to get better. So, chop away, my sister! Just my 2 cents : )

[@brittlink]

Damn. 😍

[@tiffanylyman-olszewski7359]

Great one!! Also, what is the lipstick you're wearing??

[@CarlaLalliMusic123]

I wish I could remember! Makeup turned out good that day!

[@EmmyK0613]

I looove OPP, I loooove Carla and I loooooove better than boullion!! I use it all the time

[@ninaconnors9020]

@CarlaLalliMusic123 what quantities of tomato paste and pepper puree did you use?

[@jordanhawkins1378]

Does anyone know where this red and lavender plaid dish towel she’s using is from?? I’m obsessed but can’t find it online.

[@beedoopboop]

Hi Carla, quick question: what is that metal cup that you pour olive oil into before you pour it in the pan called? This recipe looks delicious; I’ve loved you for years!

[@CarlaLalliMusic123]

it's an OXO mini measuring cup (2 oz)

[@kmd844]

Oh Masterful Carlalla...do you think this would work with fresh pasta as well, or is that a horrible idea? I'm definitely a fan of al dente, so I would want to make sure phreshhh noodles wouldn't get mushy or even dissolve. Thank you...can't wait to try this - love shrooms and love the idea of noodle infusion.

[@CarlaLalliMusic123]

no way! the fresh cooks too fast and it will be soupy

[@IMakeupStuff]

I love ya, Carla, but Better Help sells your info. So just be careful, all.

[@pollysanto5119]

I sooo love your videos, thank you for sharing the beautiful recipes. I have 2 questions: what kind of salt do you use for your pasta water and where kind I find a legit piece of parmesan, I live in middle of south dakota

[@Juansonos]

I believe she usually uses Morton's kosher salt. As for where to find real parm; she's in NYC so I don't think she'll know where to find it in SD, I'm in PA so I would fail as well. But you can try a larger grocery store in your area that may have a wheel or pre-cut wedges available. In my neck of the woods, Giant and Weis would be where I'd check.

[@CarlaLalliMusic123]

I use diamond kosher! No cheese shop nearby or anything??? Try zingermans!

[@lovingthelessloved3679]

i would take a bullet for the "vegetable" better than boullion! its just roasted vegetables but it is life changing. its great for vegans and vegetarians that dont like the "meatyness" of mushrooms.

[@mogator808]

been scared of messing up a one skillet pasta re: seasoning and water ratios, but this gives me some confidence! what other purees might be nice instead of/in addition to peppers?

[@_helmi]

I think tomato puree would be good because we'll get the classic tomato and basil pasta taste.

[@EdgeSlice]

Wooooooooooooo

[@unit--ns8jh]

Is the pepper in oil or vinegar?

[@asprilladt]

didn't expect your partner for this video would related to mental health. appreciate the decision, Carla

[@christinenovack6048]

Looks delicious! I wonder if Orzo would work?

[@Eliza-W]

I think she said in the comments anything that takes 10 minutes will do!

[@artlesscalamity348]

Oh, that’s genius!

[@hlswami]

Hi Carla - is there anything we can use in place of the pepper puree? Can I use tomatoes instead?

[@CarlaLalliMusic123]

defintely. or just use another tablespoon of tomato paste

[@adamisbob]

Uh oh. Not betterhelp 😬

[@AaronRulz]

If I was going to use boxed chicken stock, should I boil it before adding it to the skillet ? or put room temp stock in the skillet ?

[@carolyn7298]

No. You can just put it straight from the box into the pan, but then get it to a simmer/light boil before adding pasta, then bring temp down. Be sure to stir often because it tends to stick to the bottom and can burn.

[@ericaanderson5334]

5:28 Carla do you know where you got that cute colorful plate?

Whoa. CLM has a cat? (Of course I'm making this OSP. Just thought I'd nodded off and landed in Claire Saffitz's cabin.) 😹

[@CarlaLalliMusic123]

Peggy!

[@user-oq2vl8bb8f]

love when it's accidentally vegan (well, not the parmesan, but there are alternatives for that!)

[@longaugust]

a l'assassin; has been around for a while. My issue is the sauce comes out very sticky and starchy rather than smooth and thick.

[@stasjakapitonov5838]

Hi Carla, what brand pan did you use? Is it le creuset?

[@CarlaLalliMusic123]

Yes, it is!

[@victoriadaly998]

Im allergic to peppers, is there a recommended substitute that I could use? Steamed carrot or tomato maybe?

[@haley9635]

I’m not a huge fan of roasted red peppers in some stuff so I have used sun-dried tomatoes instead or halved cherry tomatoes with pretty good success as substitutes :)

[@kaiju_k5042]

@@haley9635 Yes I was about to say the same, sun-dried tomatoes in oil could work :)

Does anyone else feel like they can recite the cypress grove Humboldt fog commercial now?

[@CarlaLalliMusic123]

i definitely feel that way

[@brian2517]

Does anyone happen to know what brand Carla's skillet is? What a lovely blue!

[@chasgoose]

I think its a Le Creuset braiser. Probably my favorite pot/pan in my kitchen. I use mine more than my dutch oven.

[@chelseanyland]

​@@chasgoosekind of looks like the chambray colour in the braiser

[@CarlaLalliMusic123]

this is it!

[@chasgoose]

@@CarlaLalliMusic123 Yay! Is it the 3.5 quart size? Color is hard because often certain stores have exclusives. I can just fit long pasta in there, so it looked that way. Also, can I just say thank you for your work! I can’t tell you how much joy you bring to my life and the lives of those I serve your food to. Your eggplant parm with the thick cut eggplant was truly a revelation and a game-changer! It’s even brought my 68 year old father into the kitchen just to make the fried eggplant on its own sometimes.

[@Yerrik]

My husband is allergic to shitaakes and maybe that's why I don't like them, but I feel like porcinis would go really well with this instead.

[@CarlaLalliMusic123]

100p, use whatever mushroom you like
