I hadn't heard anyone say not to wash mushrooms. That's absurd. I know they're like sponges. Wash and set aside to let them dry for a bit if that bothers you. I used to live near a mushroom farm back in the day. Dumptrucks would leave piles of cow manure in a field - literal manure - and soon the mountains of manure would be covered with mushrooms. So it's not just dirt on them, it's manure. Wash them.

It's not that simple: when you cook pasta like he did, all of the starch stays in the dish and acts as an emulsifier. When you instead cook pasta in a lot of water, the starch is diluted in the water and then it is thrown away when you strain the pasta at the end, so it doesn't end up in the final dish.

[@nicolapolo9095]

In Italy, we do "pasta risottata", which is more likely making a risotto with pasta, so to speak.... more traditionally pasta is boiled and 2-3 minutes before is ready it is tossed into the saucepan where you have pre-made the sauce and keep on cooking together with the pasta for the last few minutes...using, of course, the pasta boiling water to create that creamy texture that everyone loves...

[@darthwiizius]

This is a trick I got from Italians (I'm just a typically uncultured Brit): Cook the pasta until it's just slightly too raw. Drain and keep a cup of the pasta water. Add the pasta to the sauce and finish cooking adding pasta water as required to both thicken the sauce, bind the flavours and make sure it's still just loose enough. Works every time, with every type of pasta except vermicelli pasta, which is so thin it cooks so fast anyway.

The "don't wash mushrooms" does apply if you are not cooking them right away. When foraging, it can be tempting to wash the dirt off before storing them in the fridge, but that's a no no, so I've heard.

Well technically this is boiled in water but it's more like when we do rice with the right amount of seasoned water like pilaf, the trick is to add the right amount to pasta that is harder to do with pasta than rice. Too much water and you'll have watery pasta or too cooked pasta, at the opposite you'll have pasta too al dente (but you can easily add some boiling water). The result is not so different so I don't do this way. Also be careful of the amount of salt because in the normal way you throw it away a great amount in this way you'll eat it all, so put a lot less salt.

[@burrocakes8048]

I tried this maybe 10 years ago and am also not a fan. What some describe as creamy, I describe as overly starchy which applied to pasta is not complimentary. This reminds me of someone trying to fancy up what is essentially an identical cooking method to hamburger helper pasta dishes. I do agree that doing this will intensify the flavors absorbed by the pasta sans actual salted pasta water but as spoken to above, the end result is chewy and starchy, not something I want to eat.

[@liamvt2]

I think its a lot more tricky to get right this way. If you boil pasta seperately you strain out all the water at the end and you don't need to measure all precisely how much moisture you boil with. I personally really hate leaving too much moisture in. Ruins the whole pasta. And don't want to overcook it either, So i don't risk it. I have seen people make pasta seperately and then not use a strainer at the end because they don't wanna clean it. Usually leaving too much water that all gets on the plate. Worst of both worlds.

Even boxed Mac and cheese is better by boiling in broth. I also add freeze dried minced garlic (I love that stuff) and herbs to the broth, like oregano and basil, plus pepper (u rarely need extra salt because broth is usually quite salty). And not just pasta. Any non-desert dish is better by using broth wherever it calls for water.

And yes from a chef, do wash mushrooms, especially if they are dirty, not always the case that they are cultivated in dirt. Just don't submerse them in water/or allow them to soak up a lot of watter like a sponge. If they start to dry out because you didn't get to them in time would be the exception. AND finally, if you are going to put them into oil to fry or sautee instead of boiling them (that part I didn't get), then just allow them to air dry on a paper towel, and/or part them dry first. So that you do not cause too much splatter and burn down the kitchen.

Je cuis des fois les pâtes directement dans la sauce mais je n'avais jamais penser à utiliser l'eau de cuisson des champignons. C'est une très bonne idée et j'ai envie d'essayer ça plus tard.

[@Zombiedude404]

How are you all defending this misleading video title? He lied. It's like saying to make hot cocoa don't use milk! Heat up some cinnamon chili pepper liquid chocolate and a cup and milk cook that then throw in chunks of chocolate

[@Radical_Dreamer]

Next video: stop cutting your vegetables with a KNIFE 😂

[@SauceStache]

OMG you just gave me an idea!

[@Radical_Dreamer]

@@SauceStache glad!

[@prashanthvkumar2911]

Looks very good, will surely try it out with a combo of veggies. Thank You Sauce Stache - Mark Thompson 🙂👍

[@SauceStache]

Thank you!!!!

[@prashanthvkumar2911]

Request you to try out some Indian dishes. Many of them are normally Vegan. Will share some recipes if needed.

great idea !! i'm gonna try this 🥘

[@DebadooCreates]

Many years ago I saw Alton brown clean mushrooms three ways. He weighed them before and after. One was a damp towel, 1 was Under running water and I think one he's soaked em. Can't remember for sure. But the weight difference before & after washing was nothing, so yes I wash my mushrooms. Especially store bought button shrooms that are filthy. This looks so yummy, will definitely be getting it. Except I'll use onions & garlic rather than shallots. I've tried them & I reckin my palate isn't sophisticated enough to justify the cost. lol I've cooked one pot pasta & rice dishes like this for decades. I was raised only by my dad so ate a lot of hamburger helper as a kid. Same premise, but now we make it taste good lol. Thanks for a great video.

[@RubenArrieta]

Hey, I’m cooking it right now. Smells good so far. Hola from Mexico!!

[@RubenArrieta]

Ok, it was delicious. Family loved it. Sabrosa!!

How to cook no water, no boil pasta: First, add water to boil the pasta...

[@allyfrasier6306]

This looks so great! Definitely one to try. Thank you 😊

Thank you soo much!!! Hope you enjoy!!

That herb is Sage... Rosemary is a sprig with little 'needles' .... Looks really delicious 😋😋😋

This guy is like the dollar general version of Adam Ragusa

[@brainwashingdetergent4322]

I had to double check to see if this was a Adam Ragusea video! Your voice, inflection is much like Mr Ragusea’s. Are you two from the same area?

[@Rinibottlecaps]

SO there's NO water in that cup of water OR the broth...thats made with water... Got it 😂🎉

[@indigo_tribe]

I feel like some bullion (spelling, I know) in water is pretty much the same as the broth. Semantics

[@CrizzyEyes]

Wow, this level of pedantry is eye watering. I could drink Coca Cola and call it water, but I'd still get diabetes.

[@Rinibottlecaps]

@CrizzyEyes I wouldn't be a pedantry if you weren't misleading your viewers. You must be bored, deceiver, to respond on a post 3months ago. BUT good knews, my friends and I had a good laugh when we saw the issues

[@r4zi3lgintoro65]

​@@CrizzyEyes sugar water is still water

[@joetrey215]

Should have said "plain water" but it is just like the "only three ingredients (plus the other six)" titles.

[@ImNotACatLawyerButIPlayOneOnTV]

I didn't know people DIDN'T wash their mushrooms

[@SauceStache]

It's wild... there are a LOT of people that still dont wash mushrooms!!

[@Sebilion12]

Thank you for the nice recipe! We tried it today with my fiance and he loved it so much that every 5 minutes he was saying: what amazing food are we eating, it is like being in a restaurant 🍲🍴😊 It was very simple and tasty recipe! 😋

[@moj1338]

Check out Pasta l'assassina, it's made based on the same concept, cooking uncooked pasta like risotto with tomato sauce slowly added to it. It's delicious!

[@renonyxum3966]

still cooked in water

[@gregorybrennan8539]

Rosemary ? Dude, you added Sage. Love this channel.

[@SauceStache]

Yup! After 800+ videos I made a mistake or 2

[@gregorybrennan8539]

Dude, I mad hundreds. I love this channel.

[@carleenjohnson9063]

When I make lasagna, I never boil the noodles, I just make sure when I make my spaghetti sauce that it is a runnier? sauce than when I make it for spaghetti. I boughten both, noodles that dont need to be boiled first, but also the ones that you are supposed to boil, and as long as your sauce is liquidy, there is never any problem, the noodles come out perfectly. It is so much easier.

[@Advatar042]

What if you don't like using wine or any type of alcohol in the dish? what could you use or just use the broth?

[@Mariah-ms5eo]

What a gift to have a man in your life that loves to cook, and is good at it too!

[@ServantsResearchMinistries]

Great idea! You can also soak pasta in room temperature water without boiling it and get the same result (the heat just forces the noodles to absorb the water faster). It's a great hack for when the power goes out

[@EdwardLindon]

Eating uncooked but hydrated pasta seems the perfect culinary accompaniment to a miserable evening in the dark...

[@Beckywiththegoodhair9]

Dude, you used a cup of water along with vegetable broth. That makes this click bait.

[@Angry_Lion]

Vegan...Real Butter is healthy and delicious man

[@godsguitar101]

It only makes a tiny bit of sense to wash mushrooms because there could be chicken or horse manure and / or chemicals in the dirt. It is like not putting your clams in clean water with corn starch to get them to spit out the dirt and digestion in the belly. I've been washing mushrooms for years. This recipe looks banging, thank you!

[@SauceStache]

Thank you so much!!!

[@oliverb.9121]

Vegan butter is just worse margarine. Here in germany they just stopped selling some because there was too much mineral oil in them. Always be sceptical with substitute products. There are usally better alternatives.

[@Zain_Passing_By]

cook pasta without water. ads water to mushroom broth. i see

[@Olive_O_Sudden]

All liquids contain water. You're still using water; you're just not cooking the pasta in plain, salted boiling water.

[@Suekru3]

To be fair, not all liquids contain water. Ones we cook with do, but plenty of chemicals are liquids that don't contain water.

[@arysetyawan4110]

😮 oh hai captain Obvius

[@muliyachbes503]

You literaly just boiled the pasta in the pan using liquids from the wine and broth....

[@twspma3549]

Nice job. Thanks for offering new ideas for single pan kitchen simplicity. Looks yum. Thank you

[@haraldschuster3067]

The one issue I have with your method is how you achieve a controllable al dente experience. Normally you cook separate until about 2 minutes before the al dente point, strain and then add to a dish where they soak up the liquid and become tasty and also help to reduce the content of the pan. That's a very controllable way to achieve the ideal (personal) bite on the pasta. I think your pasta came out quite soft. If you like it that way, that's fine.

[@ginninadances]

To be honest, I would have ruled my eyes at "vegan butter" until my mom got this fancy stuff for when we had vegan relatives come over. I had some on toast and man it was amazing

[@SauceStache]

Same thing just happened to my dad... he doesnt roll his eyes haha but he definitely isnt shopping for vegan butter. Last time he was in town he just used ours vs going to get his own butter and he loved it. He said hes going to just start getting that now. Same thing happened with vegan mayo

[@AlasdairXIV]

>vegan butter why not olive oil? literally using a random batch of cheap seed oil disgusting.

[@bigdgoriders]

There's no such thing as vegan butter.

[@mennaayman9689]

We have a similar recipe in Egypt (minus the alcohol) We cook the pasta in red sauce or broth with vaggies instead of boiling it in water. It's called "mbakbaka" Loved this mushroom version of it ❤

[@LePédantSémantique]

The same concept exists with tomato sauce in the now popular, Assassin’s Spaghetti. It’s a game changer! 🤷‍♂️ IJS

[@nancysnyder1037]

Made for dinner tonite - the mushroom pasta - was so good ! Used fresh Rosemary, chives and onions from the garden - makes a great summer dish. Wine we had on hand was a Sweet Blush but it worked great . This recipe is a keeper - thanks !

[@StormBornRabbit]

Im super excited to try this recipe. My wife absolutely loves when i cook. Im going grocery shopping for the ingredients tomorrow. Im going to add a few more ingredients. After we have eaten Ill leave a feed back. Thanks for the recipe.

[@barriwilloughby462]

Good deal. I found to take a small dry paint brush to clean dirt off of the mushrooms works pretty good

[@fantasticvoyage2989]

Yum! Looks amazing! I always wash mushrooms. I always wash everything. Never thought about not boiling my pasta! Will have to try! TY!

[@davidmatthias9481]

You said "rosemary" but you were slicinging sage leaves

[@thorbjrnhellehaven5766]

Great video! Seems like a wonderful dish! I enjoy making casseroles using pasta (or rice) to balance the liquids. I used to struggle with casseroles ending up soggy with too much liquids, and tasteless pasta/rice on the side. It makes more sense to mash it all together. And talking about mash: my last trick, if it's still on the soggy side at the end, is just some spoons of instant mash potatoe powder, to absorb more of the liquids, without overcooking while trying to reduce by vaporizing.

[@thorbjrnhellehaven5766]

But I do agree with comments, there's no such thing as «vegan butter», butter is by definition a dairy product, and not vegan. I think attempts comparing vegan products to animal products is counter productive, act as a confirmation that going vegan is to sacrifice taste or texture No one would ever try to make a chicken or fish dish taste like beef. Why are there so many attempts to make vegan products to taste like animal products? I remember a product test in a newspaper comparing different margarine spreads, but the taste criteria wasn't which tastes best, it was which tastes more like butter. And not surprisingly, the ranking on taste was like ranking them on butter content. I never understood why; tastes like beef or tastes like butter seems to be an ultimate goal for vegan cooking,l. Stop trying to replicate animal products, make something that's even more tasty.

[@Random-ot7me]

For much-added flavor, the mushrooms should be caramelized in a bit of butter first, before adding the broth, then simmered in the broth for some time. This will add a couple hours to the cook time though. Less mushrooms needed for this technique at least, and it's mostly hands-off.

[@real_Fabiot]

Nice recipe, but I actually really enjoy the contrast between the "plain" pasta and a creamy sauce. Anyone else?

[@JayJayNay]

What’s not to love about ppl who are short of superlatives about their own creations? ❤😂

[@ericdietz2944]

No water , just add about a cup of water 😂😂😂

[@ravenRedwake]

That feeling when you realize that hamburger helper is basically risotto

[@miminemartin]

Delicious! This method makes great al dente pasta; used shallots, garlic, herbed vegan butter, bowtie pasta, mushrooms, sugar snap peas and broccoli along with broth and seasonings

[@ALurkingGrue]

As somebody with a dairy allergy: Yay! a recipe I can eat.

[@RidingwithStymie]

That is not dirt on the mushrooms. That is Peat. They are not grown in soil and they are not grown outdoors. But I usually rinse mine anyway.
