Molly Makes Mushroom Carbonara | From the Test Kitchen | Bon Appétit 

Sounds like my kind of night 😂

You inspired me to do the same tonight!

So did the salty tears make it to salty?

I now see why the world is the way it is

same

LightNessITA that’s never stopped the Italians before

Me, quietly: "wtf why DOESN'T she want to eat big chunks of garlic"

@@daveprice5911 Wow this is reality tv cooking...

@LightNessITA exactly!

Came for agreement on the 1 piece in the box

😂😂made me laugh

OMG I DIDNT SEE THAT BAHAHAH THANK YOU AND WE ALL LOVE CHRIS 😭😭😭❤❤❤

thats gold! haha

I LOVE comments like this! 😂💀

😂

Lmao

I just made the recipe and even 1 1/2 teaspoon is too much :( I'd say max MAX 1/2 TSP next time! :)

HAHA OH NOOO

Right?! Like good Lord get a life people

Iconic

Was that for luck or what?

Yep! We've been allowed to watch: "the one that came out alive!"

@@thegirlwhospeaks236 Are we saving it for a rainy day? (Says a man trained by mother and grandmother for family cooking. 1 box, 1.5 box or 2 who may drop in.) Now cooking for 1 and guessing. God bless Tupperware.

U mean the eggs

Brilliant 🎶🐦

Damn boy

and he was!

i came here for the tempered comment :)

The tempered jokes are very old

I wonder if he would’ve liked Molly’s version of a Reese’s if she made one

Talk about temper tantrum....

I sure hope the screen is made of tempered glass

@@nathanmoss99 the subtle nod when he hears his phone fall on the ground says everything lol

omg at what time is this

Timecop1983 was too good

same! i was just sad about that the other day after watching babish's vid. Molly has saved us 👏

U can use beef bacon , it's tastier in my opinion

Samee

you could just use beef or turkey bacon or any smoked and cured meat. Just substitute for grease.

I think you can use pastarami if it's available in your country too. But make sure to not add salt till the very end after you taste it because pastarami will be super salty by default. A tiny bit of neutral flavor oil on low heat with the pastarami will render out its fat like guanciale and extract super nice flavors flavors..

ThisIsMar I died laughing at that part

Got a heart attack when I saw it!

Chris just has that Sheldon vibe to me.

quixotic sonnet she mainly works for basically, which focuses on dishes that are 10 ingredients or less. Andy and Chris are more focused towards healthy-ish

Classic dishes...... 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

What's classic about this?? The only right ingredient is eggs

​@@tonfidler6373 absolutely true!!!

Italian cuisine is really about simplicity, the only difficulty may be in finding the ingredients. and BTW, can't call the presented dish traditional Italian or classic, more like inspired by Italian cuisine.

His nonchalant reaction… that's not the first time! More like the 100th time.. "Damn.. it happened again." Most of us would be like.. NOOO the SCREEEN… Chris.. "Yep… I did it again… screen didn't break the other 100 times… so.. I'll just continue spooning… it's fine." And to prove it! After he picks it up, he doesn't even check to see if the screen is shattered! CHRIS IS GOD. Phone manufacturer or protective case company needs to sponsor him! Hard tile kitchen floor, drop from waist height… yeah.. not worried… Does Chris have an Instagram account? I'd consider joining it if he had!

And he didn't even bother reacting and picking it up. 😂

@UCNb3ZrKosxi_I74lTd9Xjhg Yeah it's 0:43

Oh my god, his total lack of reaction to the smack of the phone on the ground is amazing.

Funfact: glass is tempered to withstand impacts Of course he has that kind of glass, its chris after all :P

YES This was bothering me the whole time

Right???? Come on, just add it to the pot!

Yea not cool. my ocd is shot...

Omg that bothered me too!! I thought I was crazy lol.

I figured she did that because she touched it with her bare hands

TOP Comment 🤣

Haha I'm always amazed at the stuff people notice. I couldn't stop looking at Molly.

everyone always catches chris drinking water from a bucket like that, I'm convinced that is his container of choice

At those two moments he was such a mood.

That's a standard kitchen water vessel right there.

Foreal, hope she get that back blown out on the reg. Deserves it.

Molly is a babe

lordofentropy Pam Landy to Noah Vosen (derisively): "Enjoy your egg whites." 😂

StrivingFor Mindfulness I love that line and it's what I thought of too when Molly said that

Tells you a lot abt the quality of a chef 😂 no wonder she adds garlic and shallots in a carbonara. Lmao

Yeah all I know is I'm upstairs listening to my will smith CD

I'm here for molly too. :)

She’s here to shake the tables

I’m not 100% on board with turnips in a chicken pot pie but I’m 100% for this mushroom carbonara. Perfect for the people who are observing lent or looking for a meatless option.

I have no issues with the meatless carbonara... I have an issue with making a vegetarian dish and using parmesan...

Yeah, I didn't even know that browning mushrooms was possible (had so much water), and that browning made a difference to their texture xD

I'm totally gonna try this one. It looks like a great beginner recipe, but I'm going to use a different pasta. Maybe linguine or bucatinni.

Because he can’t stand it that he’s not center of attention. I find him slightly annoying

so much yes!!!

Very much yes!!!

Absolutely!!

definitely!!!!

100%

Seasons To Taste it’s a good thing food doesn’t go your lungs then lmfao

i know. it was like a revelation to me too! don't think that it would work with shiitake though...

@@8francesco It should, could be a little difficult as they tear like pancakes not normal mushrooms.

Me toooo!

Same!! i feel like it would be even better than cutting too, since you get those uneven edges crisping up nicely

Right? Mushrooms are like the least satisfying things to chop, too.

Best comment, ever.... lol 😊😄😄😄

He is shirtless on insta if you wanna see it hahaha

Faheem Haque give

@@thehorsesnamewasfriday8695 google andy ba insta

so do you think hes top bottom or vers?

@@alexpalacios4502 Definitely bottom

timestamp: 0:41

parm isnt vegetarian though

@@lassenilsen8767 Yeah that's true^^ A friend - he's basically a chef, not professionally, but in terms of skill, interest, love and the time he puts into food - once made me some vegan "parmesan". I actually think he used cashews and nutritional yeast and lots of other spices??? Can't remember correctly but it was soooo smooth and heavenly❤️ He made both dry parmesan and a parmesan sauce sort of, and put them both on pizza and the foodie in me died💀💯

@@lassenilsen8767 Parmesan Cheese (and other cheese types like emmental) are not vegetarian

Same I've been vegetarian for like 7 months now but boy do I miss my carbonara.

does eggs count as vegetarian ?

@@HIMYNAMEISRYRY so?

Scrolled down for this, happy it's at the top.

@@HIMYNAMEISRYRY But she ate directly from her mixing spoon twice and put that back into the pot x.x

@@lufflyness She's not selling it publicly. I'm sure you had another person's saliva some time in your life, probably from family or friends.

Hello Hello Do you realize how tremendously paranoid you are about this? She is cooking, using heat that is high enough to kill whatever bacteria you needlessly fear.

Big mood

Vernon Espinoza haha! I get it. I did learn to add the pasta water and cheese to my pasta, stir vigorously, salt pepper and I skip the rest. It’s like a creamy sauce and so good. Easy.

You are definitely not the only one.

you are not... me too

I made their crispy smashed potatoes with walnut sauce the other day. Omfg, that one went straight into the dinner rotation. My family annihilated it. One of the best potato recipes I've ever tasted

MrTingles All of the time!

She’s adorable. It’s funny when she drops the F bomb.

Do it, I made it last night for dinner. So delicious. Hard to believe theres no meat in this recipe

Had it for lunch ... And it’s delicious.

As an Italian myself I can respect the dish but why’s she calling it carbonara

@@brandonbaxter2144 I dont actually think it's disrespectful to call it carbonara, as long as you recognize it's not the original version. carbonara is the closest recipe to what she s doing, even though the ingredients are obviously different

Mushrooms, onions, and garlic constituted the culinary holy trinity of my father's kitchen, too.

Th3_ Gray that'll be a great gift for someone if they made it

Brilliant that you know it's amazing without even trying it out, gullible cook. Because it's mediocre...

RIGTH??? feeling a bit stupid here.

@@aseq2 I already love carbonara, this an improvement on my regular recipe with panceta. Sounds like you need to stop making assumptions on people's likes and dislikes.

I'm surprised that she sauteed the mushrooms in oil when I read that mushrooms shouldn't be treated like vegetables, since they're fungi. They should be added to a hot pan without oil, since mushrooms have a high water content, and the water will make them soggy and the sauce watery. So to get them golden brown and sweated, no oil should be added. I'll try it both ways and see if the taste is affected.

but that isn't hard, it's just gradually increasing the temp

like Molly said, Chris is always there, so he needs to move his station if he doesn't want to eat all the video foods. haha

Add one teaspoon of lemon/lime to this. It will elevate the whole thing by several notches!

How much pasta is used in the video again? 300 grams?

@@gguktae3502 Whole box=453g/1 lb

Orrechiette isn't my fave pasta, so I might try it with maybe gemelli.

No carbonara carbonara 😂

Remember to use a very sharp knife otherwise these techniques are dangerous. Oddly enough the sharper the knife in the kitchen, the safer you are.

Google it

She might be superstitious. People who are superstitious have weird quirks.

Because she touched it

@@lucymziri1130 She also touched all the other ingredients though since she was chopping them and handling them with her own BARE HANDS omg. lol

@@lucymziri1130 Well she licked the spoon and put it back into the pot so I wouldn't think she cares about that :P .

"a pasta saved is a pasta earned"

Very, very, very debatable. You like it, eat it, but Jesus how can such a simple recipe be butchered so often, jees. The parsley was unnecessary and unwanted, the recipe doesn't call for it and makes no sense even for this version. Parmesan instead of Pecorino is a neglectable mistake since pecorino isn't as common outside Italy but you lose a ton of flavour. Thirdly that pasta shape is not good for creamy sauces, you may think that all shapes are the same but it's not true. Also you want the pasta to finish cooking with the fat from the guanciale, but you know mushrooms don't contain fat. Anything above isn't a terrible mistake, but is still a mistake. Lastly and most importantly, the whole carbonara recipe revolves around the egg and cheese mixture, while this one looks like it has mushrooms as protagonists, the sauce almost looks like some sort of garnish instead of the main part of the dish. Finally there are tons of meatless Italian pasta recipes, I myself try to reduce meat consumption as much as I can, and don't get why people keeps on trying to make a vegetarian or even vegan version of and extremely veg-unfriendly recipe

Its not a carbonara. its aglio e uovo. americans need to learn more italian.

@@Janine.Najarian as an Italian I've never heard of aglio e uovo, perhaps you're getting mistaken with aglio e olio? But that's a completely different recipe

I'm sorry but there's no debate. The rule is that if it's unhealthy, it's a carbonara. Chocolate cake is technically carbonara and is celebrated as such in old Italia.

@@Occupant boi if you don't get-

She put 6 pieces of garlic ... Are you serious???
