Binging with Babish: Trenette Al Pesto from Luca 

So glad you feel better now!! Taking care of yourself is important and all of us would gladly trade a video for your well being!

Glad you're doing better! I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we're glad you did what you needed for yourself.

Glad you're mending Andrew.

Praying for you man- you bring a lot of joy to a lot of people, I for one am grateful for it :)

Please stay safe. We love your videos!

That comment caught me off guard! 😂😂😂

Oh my!

I mean, he hasn't had to since he married the den mother, but it's just like riding a bike. I hear.

@@AndreNDP you think when people get married they stop mortar and pestling their own pesto?

@@AndreNDP Sometimes you still gotta mortar your own pestle.

Cooking is an art that I just don’t understand

That's super helpful, grazie!

Grazie mille per il consiglio!

That is super cool!!!!

Thank you! I needed to know this

What if this becomes a culinary Channel Awesome?

So long as it doesn't become like channel awesome lol

The two views

@@malliefortuna4649 I doubt it, considering the most popular show is still his. You can't buy charisma.

😂 wow I laughed out loud at a RU-vid comment after a long while

Imagine

it would be a better world.

Hey what’s up guys welcome back tooo Binging with Babish where we’re gonna start today’s episode by making our own Italians from scratch

I'm going to italy next week, I'll report to you if I find any italians

I looked at the post and it took 5 seconds for me to realise what it said

Same here

John Riggs is here. That means Larry Bundy Jr is lurking around here somewhere

Lol...I had the exact same thought.

Same here, XD

Hi John, an Italian here, the recipe it's legit and the second part is when you toast the pine nuts it's even better. try to make it, it takes time and some effort but it's worth it :)

I have no idea what he was talking about...😉

I kinda remember Chris Griffin mentioning something similar hmm...

Time stamp?

Babish being sus

@@koenigsegggemera2662 4:53

In a few years we're gonna be watching a man who lives on his own farm with aqua culture, a garden, fields, animals, everything.

@@joshuaarnett762 it’s already happened to Claire Saffitz. It shall spread in time.

@@lizlemon3698 custom breeds crops to optimize the recipes

Sounds like what Adam Ragusea did not long ago.

There’s another channel that did exactly this the channels name is how to make everything

Pretty envious tbh. Basil doesn't grow that well here in Scotland!

A plot point in the movie is that the race is sponsored by a pasta company, and one of the stations involves eating pasta from said company and the characters train their pasta-eating skills during the movie. So using premade pasta is actually movie accurate.

Regardless of it being movie-accurate or not, what happens is that since pesto is an oily, fatty sauce, there is no sense in adding eggy, more flavorful pasta

@@joselozano4591 yup. He’s made fresh pasta a number of times now. This was more of a deep dive into pesto as an ingredient. Besides he talks about the types of pasta for pesto in this video anyway

He had a bad mental health week. He mentions it even in the comments! Most likely that kinda took him out of his usual babishness. But he back and he's ready to attack :D

Wouldn't work too well with this kind of sauce, the starch from cooking the dried pasta really helps it to bind.

If my parents did this for me when I was a child, I’ll probably remember it for the rest of my days. You’re a great parent.

Your a really great parent!

That’s adorable you’re killing it

No one cares

@@jyotiradityasatpathy3546 bruh

You can never go wrong with more pesto, for sure.

Dont forget brad!

Who are the BA people?

@@TheMaxsherwin3000 bon appetit

@@centurio-network3732 Brad’s still with BA though, right?

@@Psykel he is, I think he is doing the it's alive! series

oooh snap, calling him by his full name HES IN TROUBLE!!

WHAT DID HE DO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN

ON AN EPISODE FOR A FAMILY MOVIE

It took me 10 seconds to finally go, “ahhhh hahahahahahahaha!” after he said that lol

Would anyone be kind enough to put out a timestamp?

glad I'm not the only one who caught that

i DoN’t GeT iT

LOL

*face palms* why did it take me 5 minutes to connect the dots of that joke 😂

can someone explain the joke (sorry)

My two favorite youtubers in the same place! Love both of yall :)

Funny, i asked for that a couple of months ago.

I'm late, but yes, absolutely! Also, it's so cool to see you here! I just started crochet, and my friend recommended your beginner video to me. It's all so clearly explained and shown! Thank you! c:

There hasn't been a Stump Sohla in a while. Did she leave the Babish Bunch?

@@Destructor111 probably but like at the same time he's probably working with them on a "hey you wanna do a thing?" basis instead of like with a full employment contract or whatever. Like Sohla has been doing stuff on the History Channel last i saw? idk she did something with Max Miller from Tasting History so who knows.

What if this turns into a culinary Channel Awesome?

@@SirBlackReeds I honestly would be 100% supportive of that. Honestly I've always liked babish content better than a lot of the other culinary content out there, especially around the time BWB actually got started in like 2016-2017.

You know a guy is down bad when he starts painting his nails. Yikes.

Yes, so much!!

And he’s got a little sea monster in him

@@Justice237 he's got a little sea monster in him 🥰

Ello

Hi james

Right? And they are even using seamonsters to make it seem even more believable.

Next time they will make a movie about Paraguay.

Realer than the animation quality. Y'all remember bambi?

When did this italians aren't real thing start and why?

Nice work stealing this

Does it sound wierder than other native languages trying to speak Italian?

@@KungKokkos nah it's not that funny, just something normal lol. You can't expect a non-Italian speaker to nail the pronunciation of every word.

@@TeemoFatHamster it's not about accuracy or correctness, it's that many anglophones try to make a stereotipical italian accent that, for the most part, does not exist.

@@leonardoferrari4852 I cooka da pizza

Let's a go

As an older sibling, I really truly love that for you

As a younger sibling, you are evil

@@sasdagreat8052 No hard feelings, us older siblings just need the blackmail material while we are ahead

@@sasdagreat8052 SWEET SWEET REVENGE

As the eldest, you always need that blackmail ready to drop upon your imminent death... Or at the time of grounding.

A real italian!

I'm always in the mood for pasta

Every waking moment of my existence?

I never really connected the dots but after watching Luca a week ago I made three pasta dishes. Nothing fancy, just storebought stuff.

Nothing needs to put me in the mood for pasta - it's always present

That's a lie. In fact, him painting his nails may be foreboding.

@@SirBlackReeds I really don't think you know what that word means. What is it foreshadowing?

@@oinkayaya lol right? It’s so ominous and is an omen XD

@@SirBlackReeds it looks creepy and disgusting

@@oinkayaya foreshadowing when he decides to live as a woman, gets caught up touching a minor, gets sent to a women's juvenile prison and does it again

Thanks, scrolled far too long to find this.

There were a few more subtle gentleman hints in this video then normal 😉

Hmmmmm

😂

Hasn't been much of a "Universe" since Sohla stopped doing her show...

i’ve been searching for this comment i knew i couldn’t be the only one who thought that was fruity

@@ariellekeen8668 right. Is he hinting at something?

right!!!! is he saying what i think hes saying? cause me too!

i know it's like a month later, but i don't really understand this. what does that phrase mean? i'm very curious.

Italians: *Guess I’ll die.*

@@SneakTheOcto no such thing obv

Didn’t you hear? They made Italy from Luca in real life

Literally my first thought as soon as I saw Rick.

YES!!!!!

OOOO VOUCH

my htought exactly x)

*Ascends to partial godliness*

Chef Frank has entered the chat.

same.

lol same

I paid more attention to his painted nails than to the actual recipe

Pixar really mastered the texture of food

You might be Italian

Made so much more sense to me when I heard that!

painted nails and mortar and pestle is a rick aesthetic

What’s BA?

@@tarotfiend bon appetit

You know a person with no life starts commenting his own opinion. *Yikes.*

@@WPaKFamily wow that's a really shortsighted and hurtful opinion. congrats

*stares you dead in the eye while slowly breaking pasta in half*

I find your lack of pasta variety disturbing

This is me whenever coworkers ask for my recipes. I'm like, "recipe...?"

not italian but i don’t use recipes when i make italian food or any food really

WAIT YOU GUYS EXIST

Not just the dish but the way the kids just dove into it head and hands first. A dish in a movie doesnt get that kind of love and attention and not end up on Babish's radar.

well then what’s the best or your favorite olive oil then

@@zebrom7994 It all depends on what you are doing with it. A lighter olive oil (tuscan, ligurian, or the one from Riva del Garda) will not overpower other delicate ingredients (like the basil in pesto), while a richer oil (sicilian, calabrian) will be great on richer stuff, like mozzarella or tomatoes. This goes for non-cooked/heated dishes. If you plan on cooking it then either go for the richer oil which will still maintain some of its flavour or use a less expensive (but still extravirgin if you can) olive oil, no need to use the fancy ones since you will not be able to tell the difference.

Ligurian olive oil, especially from the Oliva Taggiasca (that you can easily find at Eataly) is the most delicate in Italy, a subtle taste is essential not to cover the flavour of other components!

@@beatricebongiovanni2307 yeah, in Liguria people use Taggiasca to make pesto

@@zebrom7994 In addition to the interesting statements of the commentators before me, I will write briefly about Puglia, the region where I live. Here you will find one of the best oils in the world. It is obtained from the olives of the "coratina" cultivar and is an oil absolutely not excessively bitter, but very spicy and rich in polyphenols; we locals self-produce it and sell the surpluses especially in the north and abroad, in both places this oil is mixed with other qualities and sold at a price. Obviously there is not only the Coratina variety, there is the leccino, which is also found in Tuscany, and more. I consider the best oil ever the one used by professional athletes, truly hypernutrient but also not very tasty, as it is very bitter, let's say that it has a very niche market.

I thought I was the only one who notices it 😂😂

they’re beautiful!

@@keishanajma8247 He literally mentioned it IN the video..m

I know he’s just a king

literally what's powerful about a man wearing nail polish LOL

It's really cool that a bunch of RU-vidrs are painting their nails. I started doing it late last year, and while I get made fun of sometimes the compliments I get are worth it :)

Is there meaning behind the color?

@@orestegallo He’s got a little sea monster in him

@@orestegallo not to me. Just saying generally, I dig it. If the dude wants to paint his nails. I'm all for it.

@Kim Reyes he’s got a little sea monster in him

They're super pretty. I gotta knoooow

just call him babish ffs

I think they look incredibly tacky.

@@piotrmil i think no one asked your opinion

Looks so gea

That's because anytime he makes the tiniest mistake, whether it's pronunciation or just a random fact about the dish, someone is going to absolutely LOSE it in the comments.

This time he absolutely nailed it

He did a fine job, but here in Liguria we are made for whining, so... He put way too much water from the pasta with the pesto

Why blue?

I always got more Caribbean blue vibes from him but yeah the color he has is pretty neat too🥰💙

Quite exquisitely vibrant if I do say so myself. Mesmerizing color scheme of the outer exterior, excluding the sharp anatomy of the human nail in it's outstanding entirety, indeed.

oh dear gamzee

thanks, gamzee

If you haven't seen it, there's videos with Sohla and Rick on Food52! They have their own shows there.

Rick is my spirit animal

I'm sorry if it's inappropriate to ask, but I enjoy taking advantage of teachable moments. What does seamonster mean in the context used?

@@LadiSway It's in reference to the movie "Luca". Also RU-vid duplicated your comment.

That amount of salt is not 'taking care of yourself'. His kidneys will fail at the age 50. You can't counter that with exercise.

@@joepfhoekstra You must be fun at parties

I'm pretty sure they use the force. It would explain why I cannot for the life of me reproduce the flavour of Roman carbonara despite roughly 200 attempts.

The pasta eating training sequence was the roughest for me- just reminded me how much I want to go to Italy someday and eat some real-deal Italian pasta dishes.

@@sparkling-starling A little oily.

YESSSSS I've been waiting for this :')

i would love to see that

I can't get it out of my head. I am haunted

That episode was well done - all of them are - but was almost physically painful to watch.

Agree, the color is awesome, but what was that sea monster bit about?

@@VIPMaJoR89 the movie this recepie is based (Lucca) on is about sea monsters

@@VIPMaJoR89 Luca, the film this is inspired by, is pixars recent sea monster film, where they shapeshift when wet :)

@@j3ddesign247 I thought it was in reference to evolution, Last Universal Common Ancestor (LUCA)

I haven't seen the movie but this reference keeps coming up in the comments without context. What IS the context?

Stranger danger!

Just bring in all the old BA staff that everyone loved and give them fair treatment

I read this comment about 30 seconds before the reveal. So excited! I love Rick! I'm always looking for his content.

I love Sola! I hope she comes back to BBU after her other ancient cooking show!

She has like 4 other shows right now so maybe when one of those wraps?

@@Iduun9 Hopefully that's the plan! I made a similar comment last year on the BA subreddit when it all hit the fan.

even the science defieing soup

Sweetbread a la Gusteau, in which the only named ingredients are veal sweetbreads, seaweed salt, cuttlefish tentacle, dog rose puree, geoduck egg, dried white fungus, and anchovy-licorice sauce, along with remy’s addition of white truffle oil

@@TheGrowthMindset59559 I always wondered how that soup worked. In what way is it science defieing?

@@leviticus2001 the first soup is so bad it made remy gag, which isnt possible

@@TheGrowthMindset59559 What about the second soup?

Grammer was wrong though...
