How to plate spaghetti in more interesting ways

Secrets From My Kitchen is now Easy Peasy Kitchen! Sign up to my newsletter at www.EasyPeasy.co
===========================================================================================
In this video we explore different ways to plate spaghetti. So often we default to simply putting it in a bowl, topped with a sauce and maybe a small garnish, and putting it on the table… but how can we plate it to make it look more exciting and appealing?
In this video we start with a pot of cooked spaghetti, and 3 different sauces. Then we go on to create a variety of different plates, twirling up the spaghetti and making it more exciting and appealing. We also explore ways to use garnishes to add that special finishing touch.
I hope after watching this video you're inspired to try plating your spaghetti differently. I'm sure you'll be surprised with the amazing creations you can come up with.

2:31 I love the contrast of red and green. Perhaps it would be a fun dish at Christmas.

[@EasyPeasyKitchen]

So true. It could make a great starter for Christmas dinner!!

I’ve never seen the horizontal plating of pasta before but what a great idea - so effective! Thank you for sharing these spaghetti plating secrets Taryn, I’m definitely trying the horizontal spaghetti. 💕

[@pamelataylor3537]

These look fantastic, it’s always nice to do something different it stops it being boring old spaghetti. I haven’t eaten it for a long time but now you’ve made me want to try eating it again. The older I get the more the way it’s served is important, to me anyway. Plus I don’t eat a lot so the smaller portions plated nicely make me want to eat, when a lot of food is just put on a plate Willy Nilly it turns me off and I can’t eat so thank you for your ideas Taryn, they make a huge difference to me now. I’m so glad I found your channel. Have a great week.

[@EasyPeasyKitchen]

[@peterplantec7911]

Yes I do add a drizzle of lovely high quality un filtered Italian olive oil to pasta and on my pizza as well. I like also topping with a nice fine chiffonade of basil along with zest and capers. You do a nice job here. Thank you.

[@Ranma90814]

Your presentation ideas are nice and appealing 😊 I just grab a heap of pasta and sauce on a stained plastic plate 😂

[@EasyPeasyKitchen]

Nice to know how to be fancy when you want to be, but nothing wrong with plain when you don't need to be fancy 😉

[@pegasus846]

Yes, we do use olive oil for flavour and garnishing

[@EasyPeasyKitchen]

That's great 👍

[@Macmerck12]

Great stuff!!! Keep putting out new videos. Can you do something with sweet potatoes

[@EasyPeasyKitchen]

Thanks for your comment! I love sweet potato it's such a delicious and versatile vegetable. We've got a video with a sweet potato puree coming out in a few weeks and also another older video with 3 different things you can do with sweet potato. Here's the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHKqk5mpeLl8q7c

[@wayner9765]

One question - how do you keep the spaghetti hot whilst plating up?

[@EasyPeasyKitchen]

If you have all your components ready before you start your spaghetti will stay warm. Just plate one or 2 portions at a time and use warm plates too 😀

[@SanjibDas-nf6of]

Very nice

[@EasyPeasyKitchen]

Thank you 😊

[@satryaadiputra]

Can you tell me ... What size the Ladle use ?

[@Lubo54]

Super 👍👍👍

[@EasyPeasyKitchen]

Thanks, I hope you enjoy trying something new when you next cook spaghetti 😊

Love your accent

[@EasyPeasyKitchen]

Haha thanks

[@deviharpalkaur7792]

With all the styling how to you serve the food hot?

[@EasyPeasyKitchen]

Practice makes perfect. Make sure all your components are ready before you start plating and that your plates are warm. Each portion should only take a minute or two if everything is prepped and ready to go on the plate. If you're plating more than about 5 or 6 portions you might want to have someone to help you 😜

[@SlavZgrabczynski-ns7ye]

I think one of the presentations what you called carbonara with cremy sauce. My opinion this is just pasta with creamy sauce. Where is the black pepper lots o black pepper and cheese pecorino romano optionally parmigiano cheese??? Pancetta is OK but the best option is guanciale (pork cheeks) however the plate looks nice and fancy 👍👏

[@EasyPeasyKitchen]

Thanks for your comment, please keep in mind that the point of the video is not in the recipe as such, but more the tips for a better presentation. You can make your own recipe to your preference and implement the presentation tips 😉

[@FlexNiko]

what accent is this? i dont know if i ever heard it 😊

[@EasyPeasyKitchen]

Haha I was born in South Africa, but have lived in New Zealand for 27 years ☺️

[@FlexNiko]

@@EasyPeasyKitchen ah okry might be new zealandish, idk 😂

[@larissatamiresoliveirajord7478]

1:50 would be the ideal. I guess that we could use regular thongs to serve it like that as well? Many thanks

[@EasyPeasyKitchen]

Yes, regular tongs should work fine.

[@mooopy4887]

first time i watch one of ur videos and honestly i thought you would have more subs just because of the quality of the video lol ur getting far :D

[@EasyPeasyKitchen]

Aww thanks, we're slowly working our way up...
