How to cook SPAGHETTI

These guys really take “upsetti without spaghetti” to another level.

I always use my standard nonstick pan if I just make spaghetti for myself. You can use very little water, drain most of it by just holding the spaghetti with kitchen tongues and boil of some of the left over water before adding your sauce. That way you get your starchy water super reduced and if you're making something like caccio e pepe you only need one pan. You'll still need a second pan if you want to fry up some garlic or boil your tomato sauce before, but pan is the best for smaller servings of long pasta IMO

I love how even in this video, you can *see* that it's obviously way worse than breaking it in half. Requires much more active attention to slowly, awkwardly scoot the half-cooked pasta into the water... and half your pasta cooks longer than the other half!
Don't be a sheep! Follow the evidence of your own eyes! Break your pasta into a shape that fit in the cooking pan!

I'm not Italian. But NEVER! NEVER break pasta in half. If you do your a demon.

Being an Italian myself seeing him break the pasta sent chills down my spine.

Gracias a ustedes ahora hago bien la pasta :)

Matteo was clearly holding back tears 😂

My mother makes spaghetti in a big pot and i eat like half of it
Love spaghetti so much ❤

Thank you now I can cook spaghetti in the correct way.🙏

HOW DID MATTEO STILL SMILE AFTER BREAKING THE PASTA?!!!😭😭😭

Sou brasileiro e descendente de italiano e sei que é um pecado quebrar o espaguete 😤😂

As a person who cooks pasta like this.. I never new it was the correct way

Even me, a non Italian person seeing spaghetti breaking makes my heart break

In case any non Italian is wandering yes, the really small pot is to prove a point :D

I don’t get how Matteo was able to smile after breaking the spaghetti. I’d be in tears

Eu já fiz do primeiro jeito, ficou ótimo

I'm Italian and I break spaghetti in two! Everytime I do that I feel like Ivan Drago! 🤣 🤣 🤣

Não sou italiana de nascença, mas sou na alma. Sempre dói no meu coração quando vejo alguém quebrando o espaguete! Dou um troço quando minha avózinha faz kkkk🤯🥺

Na realidade aqui no Brasil é comum quebrar soaghetti por questões históricas de quando muitos imigrantes italianos que vieram para cá não conseguiam alimentar seus filhos por conta das dificuldades da época então eles quebravam por esse motivo. Assim rendia mais e tinha mais macarrão para mais dias.

Wait… did Matteo just…. Break spaghetti? Oh no, the apocalypse has begun!

3d one was also wrong! You twist them in the middle and drop vertically in the middle of the pan. they spread out evenly around and sink down with minimal help and are perfectly oriented in water

Me, a Nigerian, breaking spaghetti for a living 😂

I cant imagine the pain he must have felt when he broke the spaghetti

That's what I try to tell my mom, but when I use a small pot, she makes me break it anyway :(

Honestly I'm surprised more people never thought of doing this with spaghetti.
Like you're not gonna mess it up if the top doesn't go into the water at the same time as the bottom.

As my mom's a greek, she does it THE ITALIAN WAY. EVEN IF SHES NOT ITALIAN.

I'm not Italian, but this is how I cook spaghetti 🤤

you guys just got onto Italy’s hit list for breaking spaghetti

I’m definitely the last one, I would never break my spaghetti!

My half Italian stepdad taught us the right way to both cook and eat pasta 😂 good times

Im dutch and my mom always breaks it, but i cook it like this🤌

Even I’m not from Italy I still do it the right way

THAT'S HOW I DO IT!! i sometimes put the fire on too high and burn the dry spaghetti though

As a non Italian I can also confirm the last one is the way to do it

My mother taught me to split the spaghetti, so it will cook faster, instead of waiting it to soften and fall into the pot.

a true Italian would NEVER OR EVER break the Italian spaghetti rule
don't even break OR put something that's no capable in a spaghetti 👿

Exactly how we do it at home.
And how it shall be done

Wow, i m italian and the mode with Cook your spaghetti Is perfect. VIVA ITALIAAAAAAA

My mother, a master: moisturise the spaghetti in bigger container using warm water first before cooking

Wait a minute, wouldn't one part of the spaghetti be softer than the other if it has to get soft to be fully submerged in the water?

I sadly live in a reality where neither of my parents want to keep their spaghetti whole and neither does my brother.....so im always sad when i eat spaghetto

I must convince my dad to no longer break spaghetti (we’re American)

for us Italians knowing how to make pasta is an art

Breaking pasta is fine here....
Source had homemade spaghetti cooked by an 70 year old Italian grandma in the exact same situation

dont remember the ketchup bottle, it makes it so that the spaghetti is a lot smoother and cooks better. Happy eating!

That’s what my mother and I do don’t worry, we care about food 😁

Thank you for being willing to disrespect pasta to show people how to make pasta. Your mothers are proud.

Just staring deadpan into the camera like; "It's really not that hard."

This is how you make pasta. Whenever someone cuts it in half, they are not a real Italian. Good job 👌

That's how it's done. I don't understand why people break it in half

I cook it the right way , respecting the Italians xD

I'm Italian and I use the second method or I boil them in the microwave lol

Wow I’ve been doing it right my whole life I must be Italian

Glad to know that I do it the right way :D

me seeing everyone say ''dont break your apaghetti'' yet my family is over here breaking it in half for more portion

number 2 would have been right if you just cracked them down so the small cracks go into the pan. the last way creates unevenly cooked pasta! but the smartest person in the world (me) would crack the pasta still in the box creating a less mess. or you could get a pot that fits your pasta.

Thank you so much for this video . I always thought that I had to put the spaghetti next to the pan

Not gonna lie, I was expecting a slap when Matteo broke the spaghetti.

Breaking the spaghetti is like mushing up the lasagna before you eat it.

You can buy pot size spaghetti in the US, pre-broken. 😅

Wow thanks now I know how too cook noodles lmao

"Don't forget the pasta gods are always watching" 🙂

I do the twist technique and only stear once the pasta slowly starts to sink in.

YES THE ITALIANS GET IT THEY ARE SMART

Never let them know your next move, takes the tallest pot I can find

This is how I do it but my brother always breaks it🥲

"Matteo smiling after he broke the spaghetti"
Me: He actually smiled after breaking his favourite food 😂😂😂😂

🤣 so without knowing i have been a Italiano for all my life 🤣 yeah i remember the first home computer people was getting 🤣🤣

Can someone explain to me why it's such a sin to break the spaghetti? I'm not Italian so I don't really understand why all the comments are in an uproar over it.

algo que nos enseñaron bien a los argentinos los italianos es a saber cómo poner bien la pasta no va ni rota ni así nomás va bien puesta

Matteo in his head: i break spaghetti now i regretti 🤣🤣

I'm breaking those noodles! The end results will be the same Lol

Насмотрелся итальянцев и научился варить макароны. Теперь я тоже так делаю

I'm not Italian but i get when people break the spaghetti noodles 😭

Bro honestly I'm Italian and i break the spaghetti a lot, like when I have a small pot like yours i don't have time to wait for the spaghetti to go down. Moreover, it's useless, it doesn't change the taste. The only thing that changes is that you won't be able to "arrotolare con la forchetta" the spaghetti. If i cook for like 4 people then yes, i use a big pot then yes i don't break them, but if I'm alone and only have like 80 to 100g of pasta it's totally fine to brake them. A lot of people I know this and we are all Italians living in Italy. Stop spreading stereotypes please

NEVER BREAK YOUR SPAGHETTI

I thought everyone know how to cook it like the last one

also twist the bunch of spaghetti in opposite directions from the top and the bottom and drop in the pot for more even dispersion.

The first guy: a idiot
The second guy: the devil
The third guy: perfection at its finest

Omg i always done it like that :0 Im german but the italian name actually work-ke… d-d *transforms into Pizza*

Doesn't it cook faster if you break the sphagetti?

Ha ha ha! In Indonesia, how to cook spaghetti is like the second cooking method

I honestly don't care as long as all of it gets in and it's cooked to my liking

Can you do the same thing with pizza 🍕 a pizza tutorial from lionfield ✨

I'm not italian, but i have never broke spaghetti, oh wait, i'm argentinian, it makes sense

В смысле.... Вы там реально верите, что люди не знают как варить спагетти? 😂😂😂

Matteo feeling when break the spaghetti 🥲🥲🥲

notice how he got his friend to break the pasta instead of himself

Matteo breaking the Spaghetti.
His Mom be like: You will never leave your mischief, am coming to whoop your ass. 😑😑😑

The second guy sacrificed his whole dignity so he could teach the people what not to do, he will be remembered.

this is how mama used to cook my spaghetti

I'm not Italian so I can break spaghetti two pices and it's really convinient

I was expecting a flying hand when he broke it in two

I had some today and this is exactly what I did

They make spaghetti that's dried in a U shape rather than straight so it's easier to get in to the pot.

Only reason my parents Crack spaghetti is because having the noodles too long is an issue, especially if there is tomato sauce

In my country we break it in half cause it’s too long!

YESSS FINALLY MY DAD BREAKS IT

I love Italians🇮🇹🍝🍕

When he do THIS i'm cry... Although i'm Ukrainian.
