mystic-macaroni(American) Italian cooking advice sucks
agentshagsToo much garlic š§? Never!
Eat a plate of spaghetti that is more garlic than noodle. Iād call that too much garlic.
southsamuraiI responded to the post already, but no bullshit, Iāve done that with a mix of different garlic preparations and fucking loved it. I used the pasta and olive oil as support for the garlic.
One fucking bowl was three bulbs of garlic I prepared, plus another bulb or two of assorted stuff like black garlic. One big spoon of macaroni rather than spaghetti, since thatās what I had when the wild hair went up my ass. It ended up a maybe 2:1 ratio.
One of these days Iāll do it again, but black garlic aināt cheap
Have you ever cooked pasta with sea water?
No, seawater is all full of shark poop
now this is finally an unpopular opinion. one i dont share but can respect.
JohnnyCanuckAgreed
š« lol wuttttt
Now what kinda of american italian? NYC Italian? New Haven Italian? Chicago Italian???
Iunno, but they are all super obsessed with telling you just how Italian they are and how their nona gobbles their ghoul better than any other nona or whatever. And they get real cranky if you bring up that they and their family havenāt been to the old country in like 3 generations at this point.
The kind/s of Italian cooking here in the states differs from the kind/s done in Italy, even when the dishes exist in both places. Comes down to how Italian immigrants adapted their foodways to available ingredients and supplies.
I know American, or olive garden Italians, share these opinions, but I didnāt want to slander actual Italians if they happen to have sane opinions.
š° š š± š¦ š³ š¦ š° š® and there is such a thing as too much garlic.
This is straight up misinformation. Even a lethal amount of garlic isnāt too much.
inb4_FoundTheVeganEither you die in ecstasy or you didnāt deserve the garlic wasted on you.
Death by garlic, or death by snu snu?
Or, dare I think it, both???
āThe Gang That Couldnāt Shoot Straightā 1960sā movie
Thereās a 300 pound hitman who likes to go to restaurants with two hookers and combine his passions.
Robert DeNiroās first movie; he plays a conman who dresses like a priest.
Yeah? I always take the suggested time on the box for when to start checking if done. Only if I can bite through half a noodle and not see any white uncooked core is it actually done. Do you go past thatā¦?
My technique isnāt as refined as yours, I just add on a minimum of 2 minutes and hope for the best
For full disclosure, I donāt usually chew noodles, and that may be a big part of my preference here. Also my most common noodles are fettuccine and macaroni, but I do the same with spaghetti.
If you then afterwards mix the pasta with hot sauce in a pan to combine them, the heat from the sauce both in the pan and the plate will finish cooking the pasta. Thatās why you donāt want it to cook more, it wonāt absorb the sauce well.
Q: How much garlic did you use?
A: Yes.
A: Not nearly enough
When I was still on dating apps one of my first screening questions was āIs the phrase ātoo much garlicā in your vocabulary?ā
Saved a lot of time from relationships that would never work. Love my gsrlicky wife!
Well, salty as the ocean is bullshit anyway. Nobody is going to put that much salt in anything.
But, I dunno if the garlic thing is so much too much garlic as too much of the wrong preparation of garlic. You throw more than maybe three cloves of raw crushed or minced into most dishes, it takes over until and unless you essentially over cook the whole thing.
If you go with other forms, like roasted or confit, or fermented, you can make garlic the star without it being ātoo muchā, if youāre a garlic lover.
I agree with your statement though, there is definitely such a thing as too much
