I can't help but feel that Mr. Tucci missed a trick. If I were working alongside the beautiful Ms. Winslet, I would prepare lunches for her that would be flavoured with all the love and affection that my miserable body could muster. Hopefully, she would only want to eat my pasta. 😀

I remember the first time I ordered this in Italy. I was in a little osteria in Florence. When the waiter/owner brought the dish I asked for some parm. He looked at me like I was from Mars. 'Uh, Italians don't put cheese on this dish?' I asked. 'No' he said flatly, 'we don't.' and walked away. I very quietly finished my meal and left the wiser for it.

@@lecutter9382 Of course We put cheese on Aglio & Olio, it's not a sin. The original dish in Naples was made with toasted breadcrumbs (aka have-nots' cheese) because they couldn't afford either Parmigiano or Pecorino.

[@TMR66]

I like Stanley Tucci, but having grown in Italy and having eaten Aglio and Olio a million times there are a few key mistakes: 1) We always melt a small anchovies in the oil 2) We always crush two or three cloves of garlic before chopping it in pieces so tiny it melts in the oil 3) We NEVER put oil in boiling water or leave pasta 'aside' 4) Paprika on pasta Aglio and Olio is unheard of. Peperoncino or chilli flakes are fine 5) The chopped parsley is a MUST to top the pasta 6) It's totally ok to add a couple of chopped small cherry tomatoes if someone likes them 7) It's really important to cook the last 3 minutes of the pasta in the Aglio and Olio pan (risottatura della pasta). You need to add one or two cups of the pasta boiling water to the sauce and let it all evaporate Enjoy :).

[@rejaneserao3822]

you are absolutely right. I learned how to cook the real Italian cuisine with my Napolitano husband and his mother. Stanley is Italian American, so that explains a lot.

[@frankferrero5827]

Yep,agreed. That is why i prefer this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2Goqq2AqMtkm9E As you said Parsley is a must,gives that ''freshness'' to the dish it really needs,otherwise the garlic/chilli flakes/olive oil just becomes overpowering. Also it's best to remove the pasta from the water just before it is actually done and cook it altogether with the contents in the pan,keep on adding pasta water when it dries out. This way takes longer but the results are much better.

[@danigun87]

These comments are always annoying.. since u grew up in italy u should know everyone has a different way of doing things. Same dish 100 variations, for example: 1 i don t 2 i don t chop it, just smash it and remove it 3 when u have a lot of pasta in the pot is a good idea, few drops in the water is something you usually see in some restaurants 4 right 5 false 6 not a pasta all' olio then.

[@ppo2424]

I've seen Italian master chefs cook this, no anchovies or cherry tomatoes.and no crushing of garlic. I think there are regional differences,and the odd little tweak doesn't hurt.

[@ppo2424]

@@danigun87 Totally agree

[@gaddob3363]

The original Italian recipe is known as aglio, olio e peperoncino and commonly includes chili flakes, as Tucci mentioned in his video. Clearly his father preferred it without chili , which is perfectly acceptable, as it's very much one of those dishes that you will make when you're out of ingredients. It's probably the simplest pasta recipe that exists and has long been a staple of people grabbing a bite to eat after coming home following a long night out. It'll also be found on the menu's of most Italian restaurants in continental Europe.

Kids, let me straighten something out. First of all I'm Sicilian 100%.

THE SAUCE IN THIS DISH IS OLIVE OIL. so calm down you're welcome 🏆🍿

[@josephgenualdi7541]

Uh..kind of right, but the principal of not putting oil in the water is so the sauce adheres better to the pasta. This sauce is mostly, but not only oil. Therefore, it's still best practice to not oil the water. He should have used a greater amount of boiling water to start with. After all, if he's making a cooking video, don't build in a mistake!

Great actor, awesome guy, cooking not so much at least not this recipe. Use whatever amount of garlic you like, no oil in the water ever. Use the least amount of water possible for the most amount of starch. No need to drain, take the pasta out of the water and put it directly into the pan with the residual water that hangs on three minutes before Al dente. Use more starchy water as required to finish while keeping the pasta moving and jumping. Finely chopped parsley is fine. Peperoncino if you wish. No paprika.

Non-stop oil and garlic. This man is definitely Italian.

Complimenti Stanley!! 👏🏻👏🏻 Well done man! Finally i found an italian-american who makes an italian recipe exactly like the tradition uses to, and like we italians also do, without any terrible or even disgusting addition/variation on it.

oddio mi fa un pò strano l'olio nell'acqua di cottura...però nel complesso si non ci sono quelle brutte cadute di stile di tanti cuochi che rifanno piatti italiani

[@mattthelearner2797]

@@alessandrogibogini3526 l'olio nell'acqua di cottura non altera in alcun modo il sapore, alcuni in Italia lo fanno perché dicono che così la pasta non si attacchi. In ogni caso non altera la ricetta.

I love watching celebrities cook. It's nice to know that not all of them hire someone to cook for them and they truly enjoy creating a meal.🤗

A lot of negativity for such a lovely man. Shouldn't the idea of good cooking be " Cook what You Like" !!

[@alvareo92]

Not with traditional Italian cuisine!

[@paolagrando5079]

Some Italians can be asses about food. They don't even get that different people do things differently.

[@francescaarreghini45]

Extra virgin olive oil, pecorino, black pepper, and salt. This is "Cacio e pepe." It's very tasty if you want to avoid garlic

[@JanasZoro]

As italian i can say that it is correct, but you should remove the central part of the garlic before chop it and remove the garlic from the oil when you stir with pasta water. Paprika can be, but in italy we do not use it for this kind of pasta.

[@TheMule71]

A couple of mistakes here. First I know of nobody in Italy who adds oil to boiling water, it's pointless. Second, never add salt to pasta sauce after you cooked the pasta in salty water. There should be enough to begin with. Of course, if you taste it and feel that adding salt would help, by all means do it. Just don't add salt w/o tasting it first, this a basic mistake, since once you put too much salt it's almost impossible to go back.

[@andromacha83]

Actually, oil can be added to boiling water exactly for the purpose that Stanley mentioned. However, typically we add it (if necessary) to the fresh pasta, made with eggs. Everything else you said is correct. Pasta needs to be cooked in salty water. So, the correct procedure is: you put the water to boil; it boils; you add the salt; you wait for it to resume boiling; you add the pasta. Also, yeah there was way too much garlic in that pan 😅

[@eduardochavacano]

he made it sound very optional. So cheese is not used with it.

[@BrHUs]

Ottima analisi. È proprio come dici tu

[@davecollins9075]

[@trident8]

The biggest mistake is he made way too much pasta. When he put 1.5lb I was thinking that's way too much for such a little pan. I would've added .5lb at most. Another thing I would've done differently is stur the pasta in the oil for much much longer to emusify the sauce. If it's not emulsified the sauce is going to look very oily and greasy, which you really don't want.

[@chloeshort14]

Cheese is ALWAYS allowed, especially when it’s added to bread crumbs fried in olive oil on this dish. Finally, loads of parsley and lemon zest.

[@italoblu]

Not for this dish, sweaty.

[@lisapote6725]

That's how to ruin this recipe. And he put paprika in it but you shouldn't

[@Pogouldangeliwitz]

You're turning THIS recipe into THAT recipe, sugarbum. It might even be edible, but what's the point of a recipe then?

[@fabiofailla9568]

chiese is not always allowed in italian cusine, I'm sorry

[@Leonardo-fm7fj]

Cheese is perfect, it is just not spaghetti aglio e olio anymore. But, come on, just do what you love in life. Except from tossing oil in the pasta boiling water, just don't do that and you will be ok... :)

[@marckolsters2279]

Wow. very cool to see you cook the recipe just as I am reading your book taste. Love the recipes.

One of my favorites, ever. Now that I have purchased a professional kitchen knife, cutting parsley and garlic is a next level expercience. Keep in mind, this is not a first date dish :)

There is no such thing as “too much garlic”…it looks fine to me. 😀 This was such a staple dish for the working man in good old Italy. We do add chopped basil and parsley to this dish in my family, but I’ve never tried paprika. Will try. Lovely video.

[@Patrickjohnphotography]

I love Stanley and his acting. Great video. OMG. We put about 10 to 20 times the amount of garlic to ours, but then we don't speak all evening for some odd reason...

[@beatricebuinoi5771]

Ma mère nous faisait ce plat très souvent...elle était originaire des alentours de Brindisi. On ne mettait "Jamais" de fromage. Il a raison...juste du poivre. Maman ajoutait du persil avec l'ail, qu'elle faisait donc frire aussi...pas de paprika. Chacun sa touche perso. Ça reste délicieux. Ça me fait plaisir que Stanley Tucci, immense acteur, me rappelle ma mère...et 🙏😍🥰😘
