Honest Try: Jack's "Lazy Man's Pasta Dinner"

[@GreyManFaustus]

This is one of those frustrating moments where the dish just needed to be executed in a slightly different way and it would be really good.

[@HonestTries]

Excellent way to put it!

[@Trahzy]

It's pasta, there isn't really a way to mess up pasta.

[@THISTSHIRTISBACKWARDS]

not lazy enough, you have to use your wife to chop everything and use just one hand

[@HonestTries]

Absolute KING move! I'll let her know.

[@ehcmier]

Somewhat-lazy man's pasta meal. Self-loathing man's pasta meal.

[@gilese4]

It's hard to choose, jack recipes are always good, but king cobra is fascinating

[@bigdaddydons6241]

Jack seems like willful ignorance, jorbsh is just clueless

[@HEALORDER]

cobra’s are diabolical and so fun to watch what that man puts together for a meal

[@Loozar402]

I literally shouted "OH NO" once I realized that everything was going to be boiled together LOL. I identifty as a lazy man, but even I'm frustrated that Jack didn't just sauté the onions, tomatoes, basil, and olive oil separately

[@RaptorJesus]

Honestly, as someone a little further down said, you could've still done this super-lazy by putting everything but the pasta on a baking sheet, douse it in olive oil, and then set it in the oven. When it's done, drain the pasta, save some of the water, put the stuff from the sheet into the pot, mix it around, add a little of that pasta water until you've got the consistency you want, and then add in the pasta. Done. Lazy *and* still tasty.

[@mrmaksl]

11:11 "it kinda just feels like, everything has been boiled together" i mean it essentially was

[@melissad4056]

I'd love to see Kay, but I would also love to see Josh and Momma! They're on KZbin and makes frankly unhinged dishes.

[@bangoreagles904]

Could give KingCobra’s ‘deep frted avocados’ a try, nice and simple. Remember to have a huge glob of snot hanging out your nose for authenticity.

[@TheWonkster]

Deep farted avocados with the skin still on and crappy bottled bacon ranch, the perfect date night food TWU

[@cwookdev]

Make sure the oil is bubbling hot!

[@kultome]

its hard to choose which recipe do we like to see more. jack's recipes are what you expect a below average cook to put together king cobra's recipes are what you expect a martian emulating human food kay's and amberlynns are actually recipes that sane newbie cooks would put together

[@valinor5397]

More KingCobra recipes please!

[@TheDonMagicWon137]

The king would fry his pasta in bacon grease. How dare you ?

[@mattclark8746]

Well, you nailed it(unfortunately). Leave it to Jack to take fresh ingredients and cook them in a way that makes it taste like a premade frozen dinner. Lol! If adding ingredients one at a time, based on what cooks the slowest/fastest is too difficult. Jack could've throw everything(except pasta) onto a cookie sheet, covered in olive oil s/p and bake it while boiling the pasta. HONESTly, every time I cook Italian, it's just an excuse to eat tons of parm cheese.

[@edgelordleon5859]

I'm calling it. Y'know what would save this dish? After it's done, drain, mix with butter, add shakey cheese, black pepper. Bam. Childhood classic, with the pinky out.

[@Rabooie]

I think a 50/50 mix of bad recipes (like this) and abhorrent recipes (like Kingcobrajfs) are the way to go. They are both interesting in different ways.

[@whatzittooya9012]

Exactly. Jack's recipes feel like he's seen good cooking once and tries (poorly) to recreate it from memory. Kingcobra's recipes feel like an alien who's trying to understand human food.

[@blternative]

My heart says Cobra but I don't want you to be hospitalized

[@598bryce]

Its always a great day when I see Honest Tries upload. Its an even BETTER day when its a CWJ video.

[@osiria6322]

I definitely think the cobra recipes have a certain kind of eldritch flair to them.

[@thunderkrux7745]

Looking at the ingredients before you prep them I thought “Hey this might be good”… then I remembered whose recipe this is. Also, a true lazy man’s pasta would be a premade jar of sauce and some noodles

[@trissy8820]

Cooking with kay has tried fried rice like 10 times now and never uses enough rice 😂

[@Fatamorgana420]

Jack Scalfani is THEE poster child for great life choices.Don't let his multiple strokes fool ya. Also, Kay replied to a comment of mine regarding hollandaise sauce and I feel so privileged.

[@BrennanStruif]

Didn’t he die?

[@Fatamorgana420]

@@BrennanStruif He's been dead inside for most of his life, but he otherwise is still breathing and eating raw chicken.

[@PalehorseThirteen]

This.... sort of... reminds me of spaghetti all'assassina, which where you actually fry the pasta in sauce, and it's very good.

[@Eeeeeepboop]

More Amberlynn to celebrate her feeder relationship 😅 I never know what the recipe is, so it’s always an adventure to watch you. It’s like a growing nightmare. Thanks for your service 🫡

[@thestoicgriffin3799]

How can it be a lazy man dish with all the vegetable prep it needs, like at that point why not just take the extra time in cooking it. Damnit jack

[@komiks42]

You need to chop onions and tomatos. I'd say its lazy

[@emerybryant]

if jack were to put the tomatoes and onions in pan. let them cook a bit and soften and develope extra flavor. add the basil. then cover in water. it would be soooo much better and no extra effort just time. let the sauce reduce a bit... again extra time. then add a bit more water and pasta. it wouls turn out 10x better with no extra effort. just maybe like an extra 20 min.

[@emerybryant]

and additional points for pureeing the sauce before adding the pasta. small effort.

[@FrancoisTremblay]

I agree with your conclusion. Usually the "lazy man's" recipes are not actually lazy, they are just complicated for no reason... but this one IS a lazy man's recipe. It's the kind of thing you might do if you didn't know how to make pasta, or if you were depressed.

[@melissad4056]

I love watching your videos because it reminds me that I'm not as bad of a cook as I think I am. Not criticizing your cooking skills, but the recipes!

[@TheSonshade]

I hear that song in my sleep like I used to with Tetris.

[@HEALORDER]

i think a sauce of some sort would save it, even just a bit. there are jars of alfredo sauce out there, it fits the lazy idea and it tastes better than bland pasta.

[@TheeFishermane]

This channels is so based and wholesome. I love it

[@kisdaflag]

I think having a mix of recipes is nice.

[@ehcmier]

A Michelina's or Budget Gourmet without the "4-cheese" protein.

[@momoha222]

Cobra's recipes are quite fascinating

[@710Chri]

If you make a few slight adjustments. It actually turns out really well. I’ll probably make this in the future

[@HonestTries]

@@710Chri What did you change?

[@710Chri]

@@HonestTries A little less water, a good amount of garlic powder even though I used a lot of fresh garlic. Some chicken stock, rosemary powder, white pepper and red pepper flakes. I added an about 1/4 cup of fresh grated parm to the concoction and it ended up almost like an Alfredo. I added some fine basil chiffonade, a heathy dose of micro planed parm and some black truffle salt when I plated it. It gave me some inspiration to make a videos fixing bad recipes. I love watching your videos and I love cooking. So I might as well try it.

[@PapaRoboto]

I live at my parents', and last week mom cooked a vegetable pizza (still with cheese, lol). Anyway I said "I feel like I'm eating compost scraps." Looks like this dish feels like that too.

[@TC_993]

You should make cobra’s snail burritos

[@melissad4056]

You know, the pasta water on this one probably tastes pretty good. He essentially invented an italian flavored stock/broth.

[@v-kunmakesstuff]

my partner and i really loved when you did masao. we werent aware of him before your video on him. hes such a spectacle. but for weird recipes, would you do kay's "meatballs"...the ground beef and egg slop mixture she did?

[@DJMcFlinty]

it's not even less dishes, you can cook the veg first, pour it in the bowl you will use, then just boil the pasta in the veg pan and combined at the end. the lazy way would be to replace the onion and garlic with powder and the tomatoes with canned slop, but its worth the 4 extra minutes tbh

[@am29078]

Jacks recipes are fun to watch. I feel like corbas recipes are just made for a shock factor

[@someguy2775]

I am once again asking how much the mail order bride was and if she has any sisters that want a green card.

[@UnplannedBeatle]

This is the pasta version of Garbage Stew - just boil everything together all at the same time without regard for differences in cooking time. I can only imagine how ghastly the mushy texture was and how bland the dish was after boiling out all of the flavor of the tomatoes and onions. I really like your channel, thanks for the review!

[@duckpwnd]

This looks like it's probably Jack's best recipe. It may be bland due to the way it's cooked, but it's actually reasonably healthy and there's nothing inherently revolting or disgusting about it.

[@blackgrease]

Gem of a channel, thank you

[@slow_dancer45]

I've never seen one jack recipe that has made me think that it was either delicious or efficient

[@Stuarttombros]

Cutting onions “with the grain” (vertically rather than horizontally) should make it sting your eyes less.

[@garrettsc]

Doing any recipes from those people is fine by me !

[@NeroCloud1]

sometimes being to lazy is ok but for a meal I think you dont have to be lazy cause we all have to eat so go all out and make it good

[@garou1911]

I almost didn't recognize it as a Jack recipe without his trademark 2 bricks of cream cheese

[@xechostormx]

Before I watch this I do want to say that if you add some Oregano and maybe some Italian sausage on the side, this could be really good. Ok with that out of the way, lets see how Jack ruins a slam dunk.

[@jbell4959]

I honestly wonder what his spice mixes and sauces tasted like since Jack seems to lack a taste palette.

[@BobGeanis]

That doesnt look bad

[@5illyM00se]

Kudos to sticking to authenticity! Gotta say, alllll that extra pasta water looks like it's really yearning for you to fold in a crap ton of grated parmesan

[@hoyhoy852]

Do Jack's "salad night"

[@nanopanda]

Jack will swear up and down that he hates boiling, but he botched a legitimate recipe

[@goldgodryukendo913x]

More Jack Recipes. also cooking with Kay.

[@SSaberhagen1991]

I think I prefer the Jack recipes, but they're all interesting to watch. Mostly 'cause I'm not the one having to eat it.

[@tonyrauls1941]

That poor basil 😂

[@Lune0738]

I understand what he was going for, there are a lot of 'one pot' recipes like this that work fine. But as you noticed... you have to, you know, add flavor... Some recipes do this by using broth instead of water, or using a can of chopped tomatoes with the liquid, a little tomato paste. Or stirring in mascarpone cheese or something at the end. (Or even just like, some seasoning, spices, anything? Jack?) Something so that you end up with a pasta and a sauce coming together. I just feel like so many of his recipes are just one or two things away from being fine.

[@abominablevibes]

Definitely do more KingCobra. We need to see the return of the Bogrrito.

[@Secretsauce431]

Loving the videos man, I’d love to see some more amberlynn recipes but I’ll watch anything you put out. Seriously such an awesome idea and great execution.

[@phillipjohnson1234]

It needs some butter or some oil in it. Maybe some meat as well.

[@Deasy782]

Honestly, this is probably the most sane thing jack has made. This one can be fixed with some minor criticism

[@thehangedman6690]

He had all the right ingredients to make a nice pasta. All you need is to boil pasta and fry ingredients in separate utensils. I guess it's a little bit more effort, but it's not rocket science and I bet you could make it in the same time.

[@akanderson87]

FYI if the onion chopping is really burning your eyes your knife is most likely dull and needs to be sharpened. Nice job on the recipe though! Your vids are fun to watch

[@UncleMusclzHour]

Please more king cobra recipes. Your cat food burger is in my hall of fame.
