Dude, it's literally so easy to just not use all those ingredients, why do you have to fill her comments with negativity. Like if you're so lazy that you can't make this find an easier recipe. It's not that hard
@jenna5968 the comment isn't negative at all, it's just stating fact that there are lots of ingredients. YOU are literally the negative one here dude,
@@annaku_lickaliciousit’s not a lot, though. Lol If you’re not someone who normally cooks everyday, you really shouldn’t be commenting. This is a regular meal with a normal amount of ingredients.
its still quick to make, honestly other than thyme these are items you should have in your kitchen... all of the seasonings are simple and cheap and you could use lemon or lime juice instead of zest. Unless you like you guys food plain? If your looking for recipes its going to have items that make the food taste GOOD and this meal itself should only take around 35 minutes and then you just bake it.
@@myaar7358 Tbh you don't even really need half this stuff if you're short on time. I've had a simplified version of these and they're still pretty good.
Like all of those ingredients are standard in a regular person's kitchen. Yeah, I have a piping bag tucked away next to my creme brulee ramekins. [sigh]
@@CC-si3cr Most people who cook and bake a lot do have piping bags, and ramekins aren't that expensive. I have to go shopping with most meals that I make because I always forget at least one thing, most people do... if you want to get into cooking its not that big of a deal to learn and get new things as different recipes require different ingredients. You can also improvise, use a ziplock bag and cut the corner... get creative.. if you're too lazy to cook just say that. Nobody said the ingredients are standard, the ingredients ARE cheap though and the meal is quick and easy for beginners! On very tight budgets which I'm usually on, meals like this last a couple of days and are very cheap to make.
These are stuffed shells. Recipe probably on the box. Still not making pasta from scratch. And it takes a long time to precook the shells first and stuff each shell. You can use a spoon
The sauce is from a jar, and you can probably skip the mushrooms and spinach for the filling. I think they make it special, but it would be a pita to chop the mushrooms that small.@@user-vt6cs4mn7f
You are so lazy if you think that, you have definitely never made ravioli ever either. How the hell do you compare this to making ravioli, like this recipe is so easy
The fact that you're using your frying pan no less than three times for this "simple" meal is the cherry on top for me lol you earned my contribution to the algorithm I guess
This tutorial is like when the Baki narrator goes "This technique looks complicated, but his actually very simple" and then narrates the most complicated thing in history for the next 5 minutes
The most complicated thing in history would certainly not be narratable in 5 minutes. Maybe unless you were speedyelling and spending years optimising the speech
👉🏻I know what you mean. She intended to make it seem very simple but it's hard, it takes a lot of work and much time. It may be even faster and easier to make the ravioli from scratch than this complicated dish 🤭
The same can be said about making hot dogs. You can stick 'em in some water and boil 'em OR you can bust out your outdoor grill, go to the butcher, get some nitrate-free beef frankfurters, grill to perfection with char marks and all then serve on a toasted bun and eat.
@@psychotophatcat *How is is not made from scratch?* Like, if you make pasta «from scratch» it’s not like you sow, harvest, shuck and mill your grains to make the flour… you use pre-made. Making pasta is super easy, and not even labor intensive if you got a stand mixer. While making the sauce and filling from base ingredients as shown in the video is a long and labor intensive cooking process, but you somehow lable it as «not from scratch»… Making stuff «not from scratch» is mainly used for pre-prepped meals you just heat up, or half-fabricated meals you just add some water and meat to a meal kit.
To everyone complaining that this is more difficult… Please research how to make ravioli from scratch. It takes a minimum of several hours, assuming you’re able to make the ravioli correct on your first attempt. Real ravioli takes “Italian Great-Grandmother” level cooking skills. This is MUCH easier and quicker than traditional ravioli, and I assume that’s what the creator is referring to 💕
I once tried making ravioli for my gf and her family. It was a disaster - took hours to make and there was way too little for everyone to eat. Tasted good but everybody looked at me like "all that waiting was not worth it".😅
🎉🎉Made this last night but as a side dish with roasted broccoli and cauliflower instead of the meat, and gruyere and cheddar sauce 🎉🎉🎉 my family went nuts! Thanks!!!
I don't even think I have half of those ingredients in my kitchen rn. When someone says "there's just..." You expect things to the effect of eggs, milk, flour etc Like things that are already in almost everyone's house most of the time. I don't even know what nutmeg is supposed to be
Dude it's so much easier, bet you've never made ravioli before, cus I'd much prefer this over making home made pasta. Her recipe is so easy to make, some of yall are soo lazy
Bruh I would prefer to make this than making pasta from scratch. It's not the same but I've tried to bake bread many times before, trust me this video is better. Making the dough will be difficult, especially if you're a beginner
@@moonlight__h3676making bread takes time but it's so much less hassle than this. For clean up: Bread needs 1 bowl, a loaf tin, a cloth and a scraper which can all be cleaned while waiting for another thing to go. The longest part by far is just letting it prove which is literally 0 input from you. This recipe requires at least 3 pans, a bowl, a PIPING BAG, several spatula, graters, a sieve for the pre-cooked pasta, and a dish for the final product. This is so much more work than mixing dough and rolling it into pasta it is genuinely simpler to make fresh pasta and use a pre-made sauce
Thanks for breaking this down into easy steps. It's a lot of steps but it's easy if you take it one step at a time. This looks delicious and definitely worth all the ingredients. I don't understand why people complain that this is too much work. If you wanna eat good food, sure there are lots of other recipes that are easier and more convenient. But man I'm willing to put the time in to make this one! Yum!
This! This poor girl gets SO MUCH hate on every single video. I’m lazy but I love food, it’s why I watch food content. Making ravioli from scratch is time consuming, this looks faster and easier to me. Her content is to show some good recipes and the title gets attention and views, but it’s not entirely misleading, and if people don’t like it they don’t have to complain
because most ppl commenting don't actually cook. if you don't cook regularly then you would think this is a lot of work but if you are someone who already cooks everyday, something like this would not be very difficult
Ravioli takes more time because you have to get fresh pasta somehow and then fill them manually, rather than using pasta shells that take 10 mins to cook
This looks really good!! Might need to try it out soon. I think some commenters missed that you didn’t make the PASTA from scratch 🤣🤣 and all that rolling and packing and cutting Much easier to just stuff a shell lol Looks delicious 🙌❤️
I’m genuinely jealous of people who enjoy cooking so much they see all of these steps as very manageable. To me this would be a horrible time spent at the stove and counter top, just prepping shit
I'm with you , l used to enjoy cooking, but after 30 yrs. of everyday breakfast, lunch and dinner, l just want to get the hell out of the kitchen, l have anxiety attacks over all of it!
it’s not that hard it’s simple easy. if you wanna save time, cook the meat whenever and you can prep it. mix the inner ingredients for a faster process.
Just finished making this not too long ago, can't express enough how happy I am with the results, thank you for this, I even made another set with alfredo sauce, needed some work, but the results were still solid.
Yesss I saved so many recipes that are clearly quick and easy and I tried so many that are delicious but this one lost me at the fifth ingredient Ngl 😂
For all the people commenting “this is more work than ravioli” she is talking about making the ravioli pasta from scratch, which is essentially everything you see here but with the addition of from scratch pasta and assembly.
There has never been a time in my life where I had all of these ingredients at hand in my kitchen. This is pure fantasy. I can’t even hope to cook like this.
If money isn't an issue, then you could always just plan on it for your next grocery trip If money is an issue, I can relate, and you don't need to use the more fancy stuff. It won't be the same, but the vibe will be the same 💕
you don’t need high quality ingredients. if anything used parsley from the container like I do. I personally make sure I have shells or lasagna in my cabinets since it’s an easy meal to cook if I want to. my mom buy the ground chuck in bulk. we freeze all but one so we can make two meals out of it. the only thing we would have to buy out of the sauce and ricotta cheese. if ricotta is too expensive substitute it with cottage cheese different texture but still very good.
Hmm...Id probably need to go get some of the fresh produce and shells, but the rest is just pantry staples and seasoning thats already in the cupboard. At least in my kitchen. Not really a fantasy if you know how to put what you have together!
She does say “making ravioli _from scratch,”_ so her comparison is valid, albeit weird. I say it’s weird, because anyone with enough cooking experience that they’re on the fence about making ravioli from scratch likely doesn’t need this kind of Here’s-a-Helpful-Tip recipe video.
@@seraeggobutterworth5247she does yes, but that's not the point. The point is instead of buying and stuffing shells you could just BUY store bought ravioli as a more straightforward alternative.
@@seraeggobutterworth5247 It's the comparison of store bought pasta to made from scratch. It would make sense if she were making the shells from scratch, at which point the dishes are pretty comparable in terms of work.
To explain in more detail for the non-cooks: Making ravioli from scratch is basically the same step up to the point when she pulled out the boxed shells, at which point you need to instead grab the fresh pasta dough that you made and rolled into a long rectangular strip while the sauce was cooking, lay it out (usually on a mold, but you can free-hand it as well), and pipe in the filling. Now you have _half_ ravioli, and you need to brush the edges of the pasta with water or beaten egg whites and cover with a second second strip of fresh pasta dough. Now, cut out each ravioli, and if you screw this up, all the effort from before is wasted. Finally, boil until al-dente (only takes a few minutes because fresh pasta is not without mercy) and eat. So ... yeah, easily 2-3 times as much work, depending on how you count time spent waiting on stuff.
Omg it is so freaking obvious all of these commenters have never made ravioli, like I'd prefer making this over ravioli any day. These People are so lazy
Damn, that looks well worth the effort - flavorful and nutrient dense. I always make stuffed shells rather than lasagna anyway, and this is a new recipe for that, but honestly, I never make fresh ravioli, lol.
Sir you are a hero...the way you explain everything and how concerned you are toward students is wholesome..... Allah apko ajar aur kambiyaabi day aap bht achy hn... jazakAllah
This would take tops an hour and a half, and that's if you get distracted or have a dull knife when trying to chop things. Better cooks than me in the comments have said it would be an hour including the cook time. This is really just chop, cook, stir, pipe, bake. The amount of ingredients makes it look like more effort than it is.
Thank you, this is what I came for and then got drawn into the ridiculous arguments about this being harder than making pasta from scratch. SMH. Simpletons
I do make my own ravioli - maybe 2-3 times a year. I’d make it more often, but it’s a lot of work and a lot of cleanup. There’s no shame in buying freshly made ravioli or any pasta, and these stuffed shells look tasty but also a ton of work.
@@jenna5968Why are you so negative? tf Some people are too poor to buy THAT many ingredients. Stop money shaming people who like ravioli but can't afford all those ingredients.

...because making pasta from scratch takes hours and like double the amount of steps this does. This is literally just doing everything else you would for a stuffed ravioli bolognese, but you're using boxed pasta to simplify and save time.
@@AFndjdj7373 no it doesn't. When you make pasta, most doughs require at least a 20 minute setting period after creating and kneding it before you can even roll and cut it. THEN you also have to do everything else in this video to stuff them, THEN fold and cut each one individually by hand, THEN boil them for another 5 minutes or so, THEN setting, saucing, and baking them for another 30 minutes. ...So unless when you say "make fresh ravioli", you mean eating raw, unformed pasta dough by itself, then NO, it doesn't take you less time than grabbing a box of dried shell pasta and boiling them for 5 minutes to go with the most basic Bolognese recipe thats ever existed. Making fresh pasta from scratch is not simpler than just boiling premade boxed pasta. Period. You sound dumb for even trying to defend a statement like that.
@@rjenyawdit sounds like you’re just bad at making pasta. Maybe try practicing. Even grandmas can make pasta easily. This recipe (as literally *everyone* in the comments is saying) is way more complicated than making and stuffing fresh pasta.
@@AFndjdj7373 literally the dumbest thing Ive heard all day. Boiling premade boxed pasta for 7 minutes, is not more work than mixing, kneding, setting, rolling, forming, stuffing, cutting, boiling, and then baking your own ravioli from scratch. You're a moron.
@@phamdung3884 why she gotta pitch this as 'easy ravioli replacement' instead of just a good dish? you pitch something as being easy, and the only thing thats easier about it is the fact that you didnt make the pasta yourself; you gonna get clapped about it
@@xSaraxMxNeffx that’s a pretty big “only thing” though. Ravioli aren’t that easy to make. Any easier and it’d be a 70% store brought meal + 30% garnishes “recipe”.
@@phamdung3884 Because cooking videos are just about putting things together and heating them up. You don’t make your own cheese or flour do you.? Why do you watch videos. ?
@@Koji-888 I think I have an different definition of “cooking” to you. I actually don’t call making instant noodles with added eggs and some vegetables cooking, nor do I call making raw salad or PB&J sandwiches cooking. I don’t eat cheese and flour as they are. I almost never see cheese as the base for any meal, but rather a component of a dish (CHEESE and BREAD, MAC and CHEESE) or “garnish” (cheese in BOLOGNESE SPAGHETTI, cheese in BEEF BOWL). As for flour, I think of them as a scratch ingredient for bread, cake or noodles, as opposed to a meal. I don’t think of cheese making, noodles making or baking as cooking, and I would have agree to disagree with you, if not for the fact that most people would probably agree with me on this, except for baking=cooking. You need to find better examples, dude.
I definitely agree, ravioli from scratch takes less time then this. If you actually made ravioli from scratch that you actually know that this is true.
@@teemum.9023 I’ve made ravioli before and it was an all day process, and I didn’t even make a huge amount! The pasta shells are pre made. The most time consuming part of this was the marinara.
@@sm7640 I find a spoon easier and faster than a piping bag, plus then you don't have to put all the filing in the piping bag and clean it after. Plus a lot of people don't own piping bags, but to each their own.
@@sm7640 you just use a teaspoon and because the sauce is quite thick and the pasta shouldn't be fully cooked you can just scoop the sauce with the shell and use the back of the spoon. Rinse your fingers after and you've saved a load of plastic with the piping bag
@@adamstrong98right, like spooning it in ain’t hard either. You clearly shouldn’t grab a huge glob of filling, grab enough and there will be little to no mess. Piping it in however is faster. And as I said above, people can make their own piping with a zip lock bag.
Dude even at max energy I ain’t cooking shit this complex, when I’m craving ravioli I just get the can opener and throw back some chef boyardee like everyone else
@Finn959 I actually did this three days ago and it was amazing. The only difference was I added a Truffle barata cheese ball to the sauce. It's such a simple alteration to a boring sauce (homemade marinara), takes it to michelin level.
@LulaMae21 I felt the same way but a chef recently gave me that advice so I tried it. My boyfriend Never eat anything with marinara sauce because he Never like it and now he will only eat it that way.
My mom & I made this ONCE in the 1990s, pre internet, except we used BIG tube shells & *no piping bag!! Her idea💡 to spoon shove it in. 7+ hrs later we had 3 pans (for a fam group). It was the best meal we ever made, but never made it again 😂 Years later I thought 🤔 why didn't we use a piping bag, or cut a zip lock bag!? It was definitely the same stuffing mix though & ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS
@@LovedhurtlostThere are probably ten thousand meals that are easier to make than this but are worlds above frozen meals. You're just a condescending 🍑.
Coming from an aggressively southern-Italian household, I feel morally obligated to urge anyone who makes stuffed shells to NOT use ground beef but ground ITALIAN sausage, do NOT use spinach, but instead use FRESH basil (some extra garlic and oregano wouldn’t hurt) and add a moderate amount red wine to the sauce and also to the sautéed mushrooms (the alcohol cooks out) . Making these adjustments will elevate this recipe from “slightly better than okay” to “Sweet, holy FORK! A piece of heaven just landed on my palate….”.
I just made this i just havent baked it yet, im sitting down to take a break because this takes SO LONG to make from start to finish. 1. I wish there were measurements. 2. I wish there was a list of ingredients. 3. This took waaaay longer than expected. 4. I'll be back with my final thoughts.
