"Mix till you lose patience" reminds me of the Golden Balance's videos whom I also enjoy watching.

[@joshuaosei5628]

His commentary is heavily inspired

[@jameswheeler815]

Yeah he definitely borrowed that line from him.

[@christiana7743]

That's why he used annotation marks "" to show the line is borrowed

[@cass9102]

garlic powder paprika parsley chili flakes salt

[@Sadreath]

In case somebody else wants to sneak in some veggies in there. Just throw in a bunch of spinach. It is super tasty. You will have to add a little more cheese or cook the sauce a little longer to get rid of the excess water.

[@swaheali]

Just made this for dinner w the spinach, super fire! Thank you for the recommendation

[@Tarpondss]

Made this today!! So simple and tasty thanks for sharing this recipe

[@user-vk2js5js5m]

How much of each of the ingredients?

[@Tarpondss]

@@user-vk2js5js5m click the 3 dots in the corner of the video, and then click "description" and all the actual amounts are listed !

[@Tarpondss]

@@user-vk2js5js5m ive made it like 5 times now and to each their own but i prefer without the chili flakes cause of the texture of them, just my opinion!

[@kanzahuma5270]

His recipes taste amazing

[@Trabsol]

Just made this, tasted great, I switched up the amounts a little though. Made enough for 5 meals by using 850grams of chicken breast and just estimated the amount of pasta needed.

[@saleth9]

I do something similar, but I also add low fat cottage cheese with the mozzarella cheese and sour cream. Thick creamy and lots protein!

[@XunluT]

I cooked it today (just used full fat milk), it was fire!

[@sohaib621]

dude i am literally obsessed with your recepies...

[@slickstrings]

Are you? Are you 'literally' obsessed? Or do you inappropriately use the word literally as an exaggeration because you dont know what it means and you just heard all the stupid teenage girls say it.

[@Slipstream7]

Thank you for sharing this recipe it was fun to cook and wonderful to eat

[@Fwixi]

[@ReginaldAnteel]

[@ix7666]

Tasted so good. I added sweet corn to the pasta as well.

[@kane6529]

your so sassy @ix7666

[@RussianWannabe1]

Just made this tonight and it’s fantastic! My kids (12 and 8) also loved it and wanted seconds!! I’m a pretty seasoned cook and this meal from beginning to end took about 45 to 50 minutes. I feel like this is a reasonably realistic timing for making the meal. Please also keep in mind that I had children interrupting me throughout the process lol. Definitely a keeper! Thank you for making and sharing this recipe!!

[@bigrockman991]

Nice

[@aya8213]

how many grams per serving to get 401 cals?

[@KrakkenXXX]

Yeah would be nice to know the actual measurements..

[@ramenqueen_1013]

Can you please do the sauce from Oodles Noodles Garlic Chicken and BBQ Chicken

[@kevincampbelllopez819]

Pro tip: if u add parmeggiano reggiano cheese, ull increase the protein intake quickly. It has no carbs and mainly protein. If it's too expensive, U may use parmesano (american version) but look at the m as macros to ensure it has no carbs. If ure in Europe, Grana cheese is another alternative (and cheaper)

[@jeremyackley8126]

A little spinach too would prolly be fire

[@1011jdog]

Looks delicious, but really only 400 calories? Lol

[@jps8678]

Can I use Cheddar?

[@shahrammaleki4532]

It is real hard to keep these low fat sauces from breaking. I suggest only heat it at the bare minimum time. Last time I did it came out great. This time the sauce broke.

[@lonzoball997]

Explain again pls

[@elenaostapchuk7955]

did you add enough pasta water to the sauce? it contains flour from the pasta that acts as a stabilizer for dairy-based sauces and prevents them from braking down

[@stanettiels7367]

What pans are you using, friend?

[@theloz]

Looks tasty - gonna try this. Is that 440g of dry pasta or 440g once it’s been cooked?

[@adamiyob1561]

i think once its been cooked

[@junor2713]

Can you keep these types of meals in the fridge for a week?

[@gymnast4358]

That’s what Santa clause needs to be eating😂😂LOL

[@notasalad2833]

What oil did you use in the vid?

[@Sshuyy]

Any bulking meals

[@brandonmcgee2780]

How long do you stir the pasta mines still watery for some reason

[@rhern9988]

Can you substitute the milk for a non dairy product?

[@Spanluver]

I just want to know if these are good for youth hockey players. They need high protein to last duration but also the carbs.

[@zetamdd5737]

How much garlic and onion??

[@Bellywoodstudios_diadance]

Is the whole thing 400 calories or each individual serving (I saw you made for servings) is 400 calories?

[@dorianr5042]

Just finished it. Came delis! 😶‍🌫️

[@deadlyopeness207]

Its pretty good, mine needed more salt. But thats user error.

[@ReneeMason]

I have a texture issue when it comes to onions but I love the taste to it. Could I use onion powder as my alternative for actual onions?

[@misswius]

Using onions just gives it a better taste in the end try cutting the onions bigger so then you can pick them out later when you serve yourself (my boyfriend method😂)

[@user-ey3sq2fv3t]

Tf is a texture issue?

[@Azfa_]

@@user-ey3sq2fv3t I think she meant she doesn't like the texture of the onions

[@westie430]

I would use dried diced onion flakes you find in the seasoning aisle.

[@westie430]

​@@user-ey3sq2fv3tcertain foods people don't like because the texture grosses them out

[@Stormbringer81]

I did 1lb chicken, standard tablespoons of all seasonings, don't bother with parsley it is useless, little less salt. 8oz penne pasta. At the end, before serving, just garnish with italian seasoning blend. Chef's kiss

[@Shinnogo]

How much chopped garlic and onion do you put in the pan? it's not listed in the description..

[@westie430]

However much your heart tells you to use😂

[@DungBeetle462]

Favorite veggy to pair with?

[@lailahofilena2158]

What’s the calories of the paste alone?

[@aaronrose9785]

Please help us spread the message about the issue on our social networking page to the community so that our community is able not to get too

[@fubarace1027]

while this certainly looks good, I've been looking up the macros for some of the ingredients you list and cant see how you hit 401 calories per meal split. That pasta alone, penne, the first box I found online was 200 calories per 56g, and you asked for 440g. When you do all the math using those numbers, the pasta alone is 392 calories per meal. Looks wonderful, but I cant see how you got those macros.

[@allenmaddox203]

It is definitely off

[@Mr.Prezidente]

I've been saying this for most of his videos..

[@cLOPEZ107]

Probably he does it to get the consumer hooked in the video 🤔

[@cLOPEZ107]

Never mind, it says “401 cal per serving…”

[@Mr.Prezidente]

@@cLOPEZ107 ya more like 700-800 calories a meal

[@user-lo3dl1ew7o]

Can you start adding grams to the ingredient list.

[@doudeau1988]

Any dishes without pasta?

[@kostasspiridakis428]

Carbs?

[@matthewarnett2821]

What should I replace to make it more calories I want to bulk

[@stephenbradley1163]

Heavy cream instead of low fat milk

[@jameswatt4924]

The ingredients for the meal

[@heero086]

I’m a very patient man

[@Vezikanary]

I am having trouble understanding why he does not start his sauce with a roux. I'm guessing to keep the fat down? Could someone explain please? Thank you!

[@ijlee1207]

There's not a need for a roux as 1) pasta water thickens the sauce 2) roux adds empty calories

[@Vezikanary]

@@ijlee1207 I see, thank you! ☺

[@k9drwho1970]

It’s ok but no measurements of the ingredients

[@bayareagamer]

It’s always in the description.

I can make 42 gram protein meal with tortillas and cheese

[@evalagerqvist9846]

💯👍👩‍🦽😋

[@Josh-py9rq]

why only 4 I want 5 equal servings MUAHAHAHAHHA

[@thehopefulastronaut9313]

How many servings does this make

[@utopianfollower]

4 dumbass

[@Keese31]

I tried this with the low-fat milk and it did not mix well.

[@DungBeetle462]

9g of fat, my ass. More like 15-20g, at least. this is delish!

[@catshaman7098]

I lose patience at the amount of ingredients not the mix

[@arlenedixon8180]

What pasta is used?

[@littlebanshee]

Penne

[@cantabileloves]

i calculated - it's more than 400kcal tho. am i doing smth wrong here.

[@littlebanshee]

The measurements you use make this more challenging if your from the U.S. unfortunately this didn’t come out so good for me. I also feel you must like things spicy because this uses quite a lot of chili flakes.

[@Binhiding123]

Which pan do you use?

[@Jalalsamfit]

It’s from Hexclad, been loving it so far🙌🏽🔥

[@jsanmiguel0087]

Gotta love all the meal prep channels that give no actual measurement for the meals they make... Nice job wasting my time.

[@smashbrother9301]

Why do you always make three servings out of it instead of four? Oh yeah, I know why, because if you actually make four servings out of it, you're getting like nothing in order to get the macros that you post :/

[@amritpalsingh3730]

Bro, please mention tha quantity of chicken as well, i think it must be per 100g

[@bobjones37450]

I'm pretty sure it's per pound of chicken. I done the math based on a Google search and it seems to work out pretty close

[@fukwatuthink6698]

This is BS. You might have 42 grams of protein but you're closer to 600 calories per serving than you are 400

[@weknowhisvoice9296]

repent obey Jesus

[@phoebemoore1516]

Where are the amounts of everything?

[@TaylorJhz]

I feel like you could get a regular ass spoon n grab a dollop of each ingredient . Eye ball that shit my guy 🤙🏼

[@BluntBlowinn]

in the description

[@chrisr9764]

Way too much garlic and the measurements are not even correct. Onion, garlic and pasta water not even mentioned in the ingredient list.

[@heffe40]

That's more than 400 cal

[@Midsizesurprises]

Per serving probably

[@PACHOUSEFITNESS]

That take to long😂

[@jomaazrag9447]

The chicken yes but not the pasta...if not organic.is notttttt healthy

[@westie430]

My dude, pasta isn't "healthy" no matter if it's organic or not😂

[@Zoggyboyzimmy]

That looked watery not creamy, and you can cook anything and replace it with low fat stuff and it’s going to taste shite

[@westie430]

Amen. Fat is good. Use heavy whipping cream instead😁

[@Tomi-yy3fv]

Mixing this pasta dish till you lose patience is the real workout here! 💪😂

I don’t know how you calculate your Kcal but I think it’s not reeeeeeally accurate and click bait

Nice
