Sam, it looks like you made aglio e olio with buccatini. May I offer a tip? If you just toss the pasta with the oil, you get oiled pasta. If you add some of the pasta water about 2x as much as as the oil you added and do the last minute or two of the pasta's cook time in the pan tossing the pasta with the oil and the pasta water, you end up with a rich creamy emulsion, because the starch that comes off of pasta as it boils is amylopectin, the same starch that comes off of risotto rice as you cook it. This starch makes a rich creamy emulsion that is way better than just oil on pasta. I do something odd to take it to the next level. I have one of those skinny mason jars, and I basically put the oil and garlic into the jar along with a little squirt of anchovy paste, then I ladle in the pasta water, and I toss in one of those coiled whisk balls that are normally used to mix up protein shakes on the go; I then cap the jar and shake the garlic oil and pasta water violently for a minute, and I end up with a super creamy emulsion. Try this variation. You may be surprised at how well it works. Pour this on the pasta to dress the pasta. It works amazingly well, and is tastier than just greasing up the pasta in the pan.
What I love about Sam is this: the man owns frickin’ restaurants, but still he encourages people to cook at home INSTEAD of going to a restaurant!! Bucatini is my absolute favorite pasta so I am saving this recipe!! Thanks, Sam (& Max & Chance)!
u mean both. the recipe and ur partner since according to statistica in 2017 a survey of 1,059 people 18yr+ 32% said they would probably bang on V day. 50% said they would probably not the remaining 18% preferred not to answer
I grow up not having a father figure in my life. Been watching your video since a long time, feels like I had a father who teach me to cook.. thanks for the video...
I made this dish last night but with an extra Lobster tail each for me and my girlfriend. The lemon pasta was probably the best 'simple' pasta we've ever made and went sooooo great with the scallops! Thank you Sam for a perfect dish for valentine's day! You helped a lot of people get laid on v-day 2022 😂
Thank God. I finally found what to make for dinner tonight. I brought scallop and ran out of ideas what different things to cook with it. I made a nice juicy steak and potato last night. I have my own menu cooking book. To myself. I ran out of dinner ideas. And creative ideas.
The funny thing is, I just got back from the store to make something almost just like this. Just with bay scallops in the pasta! And a home made linguine
@@mishawakafire I kinda did this on my own, due to my controlling nature in the kitchen 😅 My hubby though loves to eat my concoctions and always does the dishes. We had a great night, hope you did too!
First time ever making a "Sam The Cooking Guy" recipe. Just cooked this pasta for my wife. I didn't have a zester so added Lemon Pepper instead. Wife loved it!
You need a much bigger pot for the pasta with 3 times the water and rock/kosher salt in the water. Looks delicious but you could have used a little more sauce with the pasta! Maybe only a little more Pasta Water.
Don’t be afraid of using the pasta water. Easily 1.5 if not 2 times as much as you used. You need enough starch to emulsify the sauce. You went through the work of making it don’t waste it! Another tip I learned from je hi is to cook the pasta in very little water to concentrate the starch. Very useful with oil based sauces
I just wanted to say that my wife and I’s personal favorite recipe from you is hands down the steak marinade with the soy sauce. Been making it for steak tacos for a little over a year now and it’s become our go to. It was her request for Valentine’s Day and they turned out amazing.
I think you're absolutely right me and my fiance had steak shrimp and lobster tails But we cooked everything at home and it was amazing It made such a good Valentine's Day dinner. We also did Valentine's Day dinner A day early
Sam and boys, I gotta say thanks for what you do. I've been a sub for close to a year now and from watching all your videos and tips, my cooking game has gone up exponentially! I love cooking for my wife and kids, and it's so satisfying seeing their reactions and the clean plates afterwards. i never knew cooking could be so easy and rewarding instead of a chore and a way to save money instead of eating to go. Thanks for helping make America cook again!
This is the way you should do video more often. No long dialogue or distractions. Short and to the point with a few subtle jokes. Love the content regardless.
I absolutely love bucatini! It's one of those perfect pastas when you have a thin sauce because the sauce can get inside the hollow for that extra taste. Damn now I'm hungry LOL! This scallops look incredible. I always want to sneak olives into pasta so maybe some kalamatas? An olive tip for anyone, always save your olive juice. It adds so much flavor to a dish.
Sam you are a genius! My fiancé loved this and said it was the best thing I’ve made thus far! It was easy and literally took just 15 minutes. Once again, thank you for a phenomenal and simple recommendation😋
My bf and I planned on this EXACT dish yesterday when we went grocery shopping. What a coincidence (synchronicity) that you came out with this video today! PERFECT
I am watching this on Valentine’s Day as we are driving from Illinois Wisconsin border down to Florida ahead of this storm heading towards Chicago. No clue where we will be at dinner time, but I hope they have scallops.. ❤️ 🌴
Thank you for your videos I combined your recipes and made the red chimichurri and added mayo to make it a dipping sauce. Then made the chicken from your chicken bacon ranch sandwich. I made chicken and cheese quesadillas with chimichurri dip. The chicken was so moist and juicy.
Hey Sam took your advice and made me and my wife dinner last night I did Turkey breast and bacon wrapped them together than cooked than in a foil covered pan with a vinagre mixture to help steam them and keep them moist came out amazing
