There are many ways to cook a spaghetti meal. This is but one of them. I also use the eat out of the pan/pot the food is cooked in routine. It saves on doing dishes thus using up less of our valuable potable water and saves me time and energy.
I will try that minced garlic stuff some day/month/year/decade. I currently use garlic powder or flakes. The stuff the chef is using is coming out of a jar with liquid in it. I have some experimenting to do in the future.
The comment section at YouTube has interesting input. The appearance of the hamburger was noticed. It did look a little old but if it still smells good and it is cooked thoroughly I assume it is okay. When I have any doubts about food it is tossed out. If there was a full-fledged famine underway throwing away would be a last resort. Since the food pipeline is still conveying vittles to the masses, despise the current (March, 2020) toilet paper famine and that Kung Flu pandemic striking the planet causing grocery store shelves to be denuded and nearly so by fearful freaks insistent upon obtaining stocks of food that should already have been acquired and used up with the oldest goods used first and the newly purchased items awaiting use at the end of the line.
I typically add hamburger to my spaghetti but to cut calories and cost will make my next batch with canned spaghetti sauce only. I chose the canned stuff since it was the cheapest of all the offerings. If it lacks the pizzazz I seek regarding taste I have a few spices I can add after it is cooked. Here is a thought to ponder, pardners… once the spices are added while cooking there is no removing them afterwards if you added too much or do not care for the taste of one or more added spices. Cook in a most basic possible way then have the folks (and you, of course) add their own spices to taste. They should appreciate your for that. If they do not, never invite them again. If it is an ungrateful spouse, divorce him or her. That will teach them!!!
Purists will insist upon butter over margarine. Do as you will. I go for the cheapest stuff I can get in the low-calorie offerings. Margarine is fattening even in the low-cal mode but every banished calories makes you look better in that skimpy bikini or to the gal wearing it. As for a butter beats margarine taste declaration once you pile on the garlic can a normal person tell the difference between the two? I ask that due to my tastes, physical and mental, being mostly abnormal.
The old guy did not mention rinsing the cooked spaghetti in fresh water. I read about that somewhere. I tried that rinsing a couple times and did not notice any difference. Maybe it is a waste of water and to be avoided. Anybody got an opinion? Leave a comment unless you are fearful of my CIA and NSA pals tracking you down and placing you on a terrorist list.
Cost constraints keep me from using that sprinkle-able cheese in a container and the taste does not add anything for me so why buy it? I think it’s Parmesan cheese. Yep… appears that’s the stuff commonly used by USA folks. May have some heart-breaking news for you food lovers:
Most Parmesan Cheeses In America Are Fake, Here’s Why
Fake food. Most of us should be used to that by now. It is still nice/fun/interesting to be aware of at least some of the realities going on in the USA where profit is often (not always) of utmost importance, especially to corporate USA. Gotta’ keep those huge bonuses rolling in to that top 2% to 3% lording over us masses of common folks.
I do not add onions to my vittles like I used to. Old age has battered my bodily functions and my once cast-iron stomach forbids me from some of the foods I adored in the past. I do use a few onion flakes from the plastic container to add just a touch of taste but the raw onions I used to constantly use are just another dim fading memory, akin to those short bouts of reminiscing about bodacious babes clamoring for my essence and virile Adonis-like body. Hollywood should make a movie about me.
That’s enough writing for me and reading for you. Get to the video. If time allows there is surely hundreds or thousands of spaghetti-making videos on the Web. Hopefully one of them will guide you and if none do it may be time to add your spaghetti-making video!!!
Happy Eating!!!
