Just wanted to leave a tip, for a quick way to blanch the basil.... you can actually do it in the same salted water as the pasta. Just don't leave it in there for long... it's supposed to be dipped/submerged in the water for a few moments to wilt them ever so slightly.... but not make them limp like boiled spinach. Also, you'd be working in a window of time, before the pasta itself gets enough time to release it's starch into the water. I recommend tying the basil together at the stems with some twine, or just use tongs to hold them in place as you dunk them. You can also use a stainless steel spider strainer/skimmer to collect the basil, which I also recommend, so it'll let the water drain out from the basil much faster.

[@FlagCutie]

I love that one of the perks of following this channel is getting little tips like this one in the comments!

[@imawakemymindisalive13]

what does blanching the basil do? i know it helps it keep color, anything else?

[@meagan.868]

I was thinking this!

[@rkmugen]

​@@imawakemymindisalive13 That's the only reason I know of, actually. And I've been doing it ever since I learned of that step.

[@thismessismine]

imo since basil is one of the more fragile herb leaves/MOST prone to quickly becoming "spinach like mushy" even if dipped in boiling water for a second or two... just the ladle of pasta water at the end is more than enough to slightly soften and brighten the basil too, without risk of overcooking it :) this is why basil also requires different storage than a lot of other leafy herbs to keep it crisp, it has very fragile leaves and can't store much water efficiently so it's super prone to destruction basically, even from a quick dip

Can we have an anti-time-limited version? Like, make your best dish of instant noodles, that has _at least_ 10 minutes of active cooking time.

[@ahmedhisham6483]

AWESOME IDEA

Alvin: I made a 3-day instant noodle dish

[@hopegold883]

Not ALL people want to see you stressed out! I watch cooking videos partially to relax. How about approximately 10 minutes?

Even they (except Andrew) were gasping for air while speedy talking. Andrew seems to agree he's just like screw the time limit.

[@sylviele3239]

I actually think the time limit works in this episode because the whole point was “quick pastas” - maybe it shouldn’t have been 10 minutes since most pastas take that much time to cook lol but 15 would’ve been perfect. Like an episode of chopped ✊🏼

[@jayhom5385]

Yeah this. And, you couldn't cook the pasta in time if you had to start with cold water.

[@Tempcore_]

Amen, though they could've saved a lot of time going with store bought "fresh" pasta, but a time limit that just forces you out of using dried pasta seems silly

[@ReignBeauofTerror]

Yes, this exactly!

[@pixnixi619]

The chaotic energy in this video is real. Loving it as always.

[@anthyl5364]

The best 10 minutes pasta to do is as we call it in Italy "The midnight's spaghetti" which is garlic, olive oil and chili pepper, it literally just takes the pasta boiling time to prepare!

this format is hilarious and i can't wait for more. Inga is right, the entertainment value is not in small part watching three talented chaotic people in the kitchen under stress.

[@gabcavodickova8686]

I love how finally, after all these years of watching tasty and then ATE, this series starts to show their personalities a lot. I never knew Andrew was such a smartass, or how almost melancholic Shawn (Sean?) can get and Inca is just such an interesting person in general, its so cool

[@nowkohnaoko]

Inga bringing that Hermione energy, Andrew with Ron and Sean with Harry 😂

[@dic2583]

My heart broke a little when Sean said, "I used to it,'😭😭😭 Also Andrew's side eye😂😂😂

[@christopherhuynh5090]

In my opinion, I love the restrictions because it allows for on the fly creativity in dialogue as well as the cooking process. You have to be very particular how you do things and the added pressure of time makes the chaotic energy go through the roof and then magic happens via impromptu. The next thing I'd like to see is an ingredient. Specifically chicken breast. The best chicken breast recipe in 10 minutes.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

I believe in Sean Supremacy. One of the most underrated cool people out there.

[@1will2kill]

I think his fits the 10 minute criteria better

[@capybarachan650]

Watching Andrew cook was hilarious Andrew was just chaotic evil in this whole episode

[@wolfishluppa]

The way they take turns roasting each other while they are cooking makes this episode all the more better 😆

[@middler5212]

I like how the video description time stamps still say “sandwich” instead of “pasta.” 😆

[@chloeroth6891]

Andrew: "It's a component of... Not feeling hungry anymore." Priceless! 😂😂 Also, "pure pasta pleasure" is perfection and totally true.

[@loveIetter]

i wish you guys didn’t do the time limit, i feel like you have gotten a lot of comments about that on the first video and i still feel like even if it’s longer this time it still seems unnecessary for the concept of the video

[@TheKarmicCrib]

Like maybe an ingredient limit would work

[@FfejL]

Yes, THIS! Even worse this time. Most pasta shapes take longer than 10 minutes to cook properly, Sean ran into this right out of the gate. I understand not allowing 'cook all day' kinds of dishes, but the artificially low time limits are annoying and unnecessary.

[@loveIetter]

@@FfejL exactly, if the concept of this video is “i will cook this dish as i usually do it and i want you to rate it” the time limit doesn’t allow for the best version of the dish to be made and then it automatically goes against the idea of the video

[@thembill8246]

The sass among these three is such a fun dynamic. Loved it

[@magnificalux]

I knew Inga would win! Seeing Andrew and Sean's pasta and how much effort Inga put in, it was a shoe in! Would have loved to try Inga's pasta too! Btw, the prize is probably Truff's Black Truffle Arrabbiata Pasta Sauce. I recognized the top, their logo was on it. Good stuff, I say. Love Truff's merchandise. 🍝 Loved how there was a Part 1 and Part 2 to Andrew's meal. 😂

This was much more entertaining than the first episode; it was more laid back. More like friends cooking, than a competition.

[@gene_bean_]

Mmmmh yes, i do love my sandwiches

[@makahadamasa2732]

I've never seen a sandwich like that

[@belen-1808]

Andrew was so peacefully chaotic this episode

[@laurennsspencer]

I made this comment on the last video in this format, but the time limit still seems unnecessary. I’m hoping that these videos were batch filmed, so you can’t make immediate changes to the format, but I do love these videos and hope you film more without the time limit EDIT: I just heard Andrew’s voice over at the end, but I’d like to make the counter point that Tell Us What You Made is about an ingredient, not a dish, and we don’t get the debate/banter element in that format (something I really like about this format). Inga even said in her segment that the audience likes watching the stress/chaos in the kitchen, but tbh that’s not what I’m (we’re) here for, I (we) can get that from other channels.

[@genieinthepot2455]

Eh, to each their own. I really enjoyed how the time limit made for different decisions and certain things to happen which I feel added to the video. The time limit in the sandwich episode did feel a bit short but this one I thought was pretty good. Maybe 2 extra minutes couldve been better but it was pretty good imo.

[@veritygreen7682]

I feel like I love this but I’d like to see you guys have a bit more time, like 10 minutes for pasta is wild!! I’d love to see you guys have enough time to do it exactly how you think is perfect

Out of these three, I would choose Inga's. I love a good pesto. Though I do make something similar to Sean's pasta myself! I usually use a cured/dried meat,like salami/meat sticks? And some onion, garlic, olive oil and if I have it, parmesan and parsley. So good.
