Question by MrsGuess: I love Angel Hair pasta in authentic spaghetti sauce. Any good recipes?
I have been trying for years to make excellent angel hair pasta but the canned and jarred sauces just aren’t good enough. Anyone have any homemade recipes for me? I don’t want anything to drastic, just some great homemade pasta.

  5. @Marshmallows3 See comments below. This give me the opportunity to add a
    quesion: if you don’t know the origin of the dish, how can you claim that
    it is an “Original recipe?” Ciao

  6. Cook the pasta for one minute less than the American package time. It will
    be al dente and ready to add to the sauce for a bit more cooking.

  7. @deadRoden7 No. No one else thought of Lemony Snicket.

  8. I personally prefe rthe term ‘Slut’s Spaghetti’. This has become a regular
    in our household now, it’s that good.

  9. @lisashaye “legalistic”, “militant Germany”, “Communist Russia” – you have
    missed out fascist Spain and Italy, commie Cuba and China, Korea, Vietnam (
    the ones that eat children lightly steamed with a little green sauce) etc
    etc , terrorist Pakistan, Yemen, Iraq, Iran blablabla etc etc etc. the list
    goes on and on…… …. and I am the one that needs to lighten up!! Wow.
    You have missed your vocation………

  10. any advice for a non cooking guy like me for this recipe?? i don’t know if
    this ingredients are available in my country, just want to learn how to
    cook it. LOL

    their breaks throwing together what they had at hand

  15. @LeapingLeptons42 is a maet…

  16. Data looksa verya nicea inadeeda..Bellissima!!!

  17. Actually, the origin of the “Puttanesca” is well known. As a matter of fact
    there is a restaurant in Rome called “La Punesca,” which where the dish
    originated. In its beginning, the restaurant was frequented by pimps and
    prostitutes. The word “puttanesca” refers in fact to “puttana” meaning
    prostitute, with the idea that the dish is supposed to be “quick and
    spicy.” Today, the restaurant is famous for waiters and customers swearing
    at each other. Get your facts straight madam.

  18. I accidentally paused it at about 0:40, and it said 14 oz of canned pee. I
    laughed so hard.

  19. viva Italia ! viva la pasta !

  20. @yellowsaffron It’s a joke, haha. It’s a reference to the movie, ‘A series
    of Unfortunate Events’, where the children in the movie make this recipe
    for their uncle. And he responds with, ‘And where is the roast beef?’ where
    then he rants at them about how he doesn’t care about Spaghetti, but roast
    beef.

  21. @alwayztubin Looks pretty simple to me! Only takes about 20 minutes.

  22. therein lies the problem. most packages times are way too long for al
    dente. usually a few minutes excessive since you will be cooking it further
    in a sauce.

  23. @iLuvTofu20 just imagine yourself eating this spaghettis xD

  24. @lisashaye sure. people can eat shit if they want.

  25. @cguzman88 You can just avoid them… it will be tasty the same!

  26. Meatballs:
    3 1/4 tablespoons minced shallot
    3/4 tablespoon chopped garlic
    1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
    1 pound ground beef
    3 1/4 tablespoons heavy cream
    1 egg
    1 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste
    1 tablespoon port wine
    1 pinch fresh ground pepper
    1 pinch salt
    3 1/4 tablespoons Parmesan
    2 tablespoons bread crumbs

    Angel Hair Piles:
    2 tablespoons butter
    3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    2 cups heavy cream
    1/4 cup Parmesan
    2 tablespoons white truffle oil
    6 ounces cooked angel hair pasta
    Sea salt and fresh ground pepper
    Fresh oregano leaves

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

    To make meatballs: Saute shallot and garlic in olive oil and let cool. Combine all ingredients together and mix well. Scoop into 1-ounce meatballs and shape by hand. Place on a sheet pan and bake for 6 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. After meatballs have cooled, trim off the top and bottom so that the meatballs lay flat and the pasta piles can rest on top.

    To make the Angel Hair Piles: Melt the butter in a heavy bottomed saucepan. Add the flour stirring continuously. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on low heat. Add heavy cream while constantly whisking. Turn off heat once the cream starts to boil and thicken. Whisk in cheese. Gently mix the cream sauce and the truffle oil with the pasta and season with salt and pepper. Using a cocktail fork or fondue fork gather about 10 to 12 strands of pasta and roll into a pile small enough to fit on top of each meatball.

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

    To assemble: Place each pile of pasta on a meatball. When completed, cover and heat in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes. Place on a serving tray and garnish with small oregano leaves.

  27. I know you said you wanted it to be home made, but if for whatever reason you decide to give jarred sauces another chance, you should try one of the Emeril sauces- all of his varieties are pretty good.

  28. Next time youre at the store pick up the packet of spaghetti seasoning (by the packs of gravies and stuff) a can of tomato paste.. follow the direction on the package and serve with some lightly parmasian seasoned fried chicken breast..
