Feel like he did everything right but fucked up the pasta. Should've used a larger pot of water so the pasta could all cook evenly. He basically cooked half the past more than the other half by standing it upright.

That's what REAL italian food is all about. Simple and fresh ingredients. You guys don't even have idea how true italian food taste. Yours is american italian food.

The hardest part about making this is having the right temperature. Too cold the cheese won't melt too hot and the protein in the cheeses will coagulate and become balls of cheese. Starch is your friend here so much so that Chef Luciano Monosilio developed a way that prevents this by adding starch to the cheese mix.

[@darkglobe406]

exactly , the bottom half was cooking for good 2-3 minutes more than the top half (maybe even longer) - he basically destroyed the pasta from the start , not salting the water did not help either (although at least he explained his reasoning behind it) bottom line - i would not want to eat this pasta , you can also tell his sauce is kinda crumby and there are strings of cheese (you don´t want to see that when cooking this dish) . i cook this recipe a lot along with other italian dishes and this is nothing to be happy about .

Having a super easy go-to pasta for his chef to whip up at any time says a lot about Bieber’s character. And like the gentleman says, he could always add a fish or a steak, using this pasta as a neutral side. The only guests not taken care of are the vegans. Also the carbs would be super-restorative after performing.
