Pasta cooking 101

I’m tired of friends feeding me over cooked bland pasta.  Shit I’m tired of going out to restaurants and paying good money to eat bland over cooked pasta.  STOP THAT SHIT YO!  For real.  Go to the video section of the site and click on the “cooking pasta” in the “episodes” section.  I’ve studied under some amazing Italian chefs and was the head Chef of an Italian restaurant for over two years, so I think I know what I’m talking about.  Do the knowledge and eat right.

Vegetable Stock

Yes you can easily buy Vegetable stock, so if your lazy, grab one that is free of salt and preservatives. Making your own from scratch is very simple.  All you need is the following.

2 medium sized carrots rough cut, skin on

2 medium sized onions rough cut, skin on

3 ribs of celery rough cut

5 cloves garlic skin on

sprig of fresh thyme (optional)

8 - 10 cups Cold water

Now some Chefs like to sweat the vegetables first before they add the water.  Some Chefs like to peel the vegetables too.  I leave the skin on because there is nutritional value, flavour and colour that exist just underneath the skins of all vegetables and fruits.  I don’t bother sweating the veg because I don’t feel it is necessary when making a stock that simmers for close to an hour.  This recipe is the basic standard for vegetable stock.  You can add tomato’s if you like, Bay leafs, it’s all up to you.  Check the video page for the demo!  Also Check out the Soup with Roots episode and recipe.
