Wouldn’t olive oil in the pasta water alter the flavour of the pasta?
He's not a chef, never even worked in a restaurant. He was a karate guy who some publishing exec was sleeping with for money. He got picked up for his flamboyant yet physical presence and ability to remove lines of cocaine from work surfaces without the use of his hands.
>>215386047It's a restaurant hack to make any savory dish taste good>add salt and peppah>add olive oil or buttah>add parmesan cheese
>>215386085This seems like 90% of 'high end' cooking boils down to >alright gang lets mix 50 expensive, rare ingredients>and now dump some fooking butter/cheese/salt/sugar/cream/olivol/meat that will end up defining the taste anyway
>>215386112none of these are expensivewell, maybe real parmesan, but you aren't buying that
>>215386112Yeah that's what cooking is desu.
>>215386085You mean cooking?
>>215386112If you dont have places with $125 plates then people with money (or people who have an expensive meal rarely) couldnt spend more than like $100 on a date, meal, or meeting. That woupd be ridiculous. A guy makes $150k a year and he has to take his wife out on their anniversary for just regular food at regular prices? That wouldnt even be a date.
>>215386112>expensive, rare ingredientsRestaurants use almost exclusively cheap ingredients
>>215386112this is an actual poor persons understanding of what high end cooking iswhat a fucking retard
>>215386047The heat from the water cooks the pasta
>>215388500The heat comes from the stove
>>215386154>you aren't buying thatI go to a little cheese shop near me that sells parmagiano. Makes my pasta taste delicious even if costs an arm and a leg.
>>215388348Cooking is a poorfag activity anyway. "Cuisine" cooking originated when plebians had to sustain themselves on unappetizing grainslop, repulsive root vegetables, and half-rotten scraps. They experimented with this garbage to make it palatable.
>>215386047>put oil in water when cooking pastaComplete meme, does absolutely fucking nothing, not real.
>>215386085you’re legit retarded
I dunno man try cooking instead of chicken nuggets and ramen for once
>>215390364ACKSHUALLY, it does do something, but not what mister can't make a fucking grilled cheese says it does. Oil in pasta water, or even rubbed along the rim of the pan, will keep it from boiling over. It's a pretty neat trick like spinning.
olive oil flavoured pasta is an actual thing and is delicious. my wife makes it. it's just pasta and olive oil with garlic. tastes amazing
It doesn't even touch the pasta. If you put olive oil in there all you're doing is throwing away olive oil.
>>215386085oddly grateful i have some sensitivity to salt. yeah, salt makes things taste nice. but if i'm throwing e.g. a stock cube into a recipe, great, there's the salt.sick of cooks/recipes saying 'the goal isn't to make it taste salty' then piling in salt. fuck you, it tastes salty.
>>215386047Yes, that's the point. You can also add salt or butter.
>>215391090She puts it on the pasta AFTER she cooks it Anon. Also she has sex with me.
>>215386047DONKEY!
>talking to white woman>"whenever I make pasta it's too salty">see her add teaspoons of salt to the pasta water

>>215390104Oh so what, get over yourself
>>215391402>get over yourselfIf only food elitists would
>>215391468Ooooh just get over yourself
>>215388348>this artist spent 20 years perfecting the tamago>The EGG the EGGShut the fuck up faggot
>>215391066It’s mostly to make sure fresh pasta doesn’t stick together, so there isn’t any clumping especially in professional kitchens where customers expect visually appealing presentation.
I made some eggs
>>215388500>>215388714You are both wrong. The heat is caused by a magic spell.
>>215391236a teaspoon of salt to water wont do anything. i add like a fistful of salt minimum when i boil pasta/taters
>>215391898>it prevents it from sticking togetherNope lmao you do not need this while cooking. You can add oil to cooked pasta if you really want. Putting it in the pot does fucking nothing. It's a meme, not real.
That'll be 20$ goy-jin
>>215392602>cooking the egg>THE EGGThat will be $45
Its one of those things that they think nonna did back when they were young but oil and water dont mix it does nothing. But after you cook it and drain the water you can put some olive oil in to prevent it from getting sticky if you want to serve the pasta later. Same thing with garlic in the pan before onions they think nonna used to put chopped garlic but they used a whole clove in the oil and take it out after a bit before the onions go in.
