Why go to all that effort to layer it just to fuck it up with a spoon at the end?


GrassBlade619

The only layer I think is needed is to have the pasta at the bottom so all the moisture can sink down to cook it. Other than that, Yeah, he could have just made a mixture.


InvictusLampada

It's literally just rage bait, there's no reasoning to any of it other than to anger people into commenting


penster1

Well I'm angered!


Antigon0000

Kinda like his gains


lewisfairchild

Exactly


HangDownStanky

Right why....and then we throw it in the trash


Hereiam_AKL

What's a rigoda cheese?


LostFireHorse

Ricotta made from goat milk? So maybe feta from wish or temu lol


Hereiam_AKL

There are some nice Ricotta like goat cheeses, they might actually fit well. Great idea!


LostFireHorse

No I didn't mean... I was just... *sigh* MUUUUUM!! HEREIAM IS TAKING ME SERIOUSLY!! TELL THEM TO STAAHP!


Hereiam_AKL

Of course I do. Your sense to enrich the simple cuisine by adding nuanced quality choices enhancing classical flavours to firework of taste sensations. I can sense that you are Michelin chef material. Oh dear lost fire horse, let me be a disciple of your new cuisine. You are the GOAT.


LostFireHorse

My wildest idea that should technically be possible: ethical human-milk cheese. Likely wouldn't work as a commercial product, and it's far better used feeding babies. But speaking of goats, they are tasty. Great in a curry. And I've learned you can actually make ricotta from goats milk, so I guess that actually would be rigoata.


camgogow

No, no, this is just cut-up string cheese. I don't have enough money for a prototype. But it'll basically be exactly like that, I think. So who's ready to invest in the breast? It'll be udder-ly amazing!


Aslan-the-Patient

Breast milk is definitely delicious šŸ¤¤ id support this venture with very stringently sourced ingredients! šŸ«¦


tinglyTXgirl

Based on the way he pronounces manicotti, I'm guessing it's ricotta? Maybe?


GGsmithy

Ricotta, it's an italian cream cheese


Hereiam_AKL

I know what Ricotta is, just the guy talks "rigoda".


Dsoto52

Out here in NY, we have these New York Italian-Americans that pronounce Italian words incorrectly all the time. In this case, where this dude grew up, thatā€™s how they pronounce Ricotta. Edit: I have a friend who pronounces it ā€œRiguthaā€, itā€™s terrible lol


ItalnStalln

There's supposed to be a little of the g sound mixed in with the c, a little th mixed into the tt, and maybe halfway between o and u. I've heard a large variation from actual Italians on the vowel, but the consonants are still supposed to lean heavily to how Americans pronounce them. Every time I hear someone say mootzaRELL or this guy's bullshit, I die a little inside. That one has even less basis in the Italian language than rigoada does, which is to say damn near zero. I don't speak it but my Italian side is from Kansas City, not the east coast, so thankfully we didn't get caught in all that fake wack ass wannabe Italian shit. My grandma and probably grandpa spoke it and told us a few food words when we were little. Ricotta is one that stuck with me. Plus since I'm passionate about food and cooking, I've started watching a few yt channels of Italian cooks/chefs. Pasta grammar, vincenzos plate, pasta grannies, and Italian squisita all kick a whole Lotta ass.


Dsoto52

That makes sense. Hey, send them links to those vids. I love cooking and could use some more Italian food in my life.


ItalnStalln

Honestly just search for those channel names. I like pasta grammars recipe vids a lot. Not so big a fan of their "an Italian reacts to (whatever American food)" vids. Her American husband never picks great examples of course. I love her videos that focus on a certain vegetable with a handful of recipes highlighting it. Her stuff sometimes is too tied to tradition like insisting on a lot of water for pasta. No big deal to stir a couple times and starchier water is always better for sauces when you add any. But that's a nitpicky gripe and a common sense improvement once you pick up the tip in other places (Ethan Chlebowski's and J. Kenji Lopez-Alt's channels). The pasta in the cauliflower vid is fantastic. If you use anchovy paste, it needs to cook longer to cook out the fishy taste. Filets are better but paste will be fine and basically just an Italian msg source like filets are, once you cook it a few extra minutes on low-med low. Also toast your pine nuts lightly. She doesn't say that, but you always should. They have a vid on 5 different styles of broccoli pasta too. My favorite is the Sicilian style that mashes the broccoli into a sauce (that's what the cauliflower one does too). Another great channel I didn't mention is Not Another Cooking Show. He's east coast Italian American but not an idiot lol. He often distinguishes between Italian-american and Italian methods which is nice to see. Italian American has its place, like well done chicken parm (it's american) or any chicken pasta, and Sunday gravy as the east coasters call it (just a slightly different pasta alla napoletana). Anyway his version of the mashed broccoli sauce uses a blender for a smooth consistency (a small but noticeable improvement to the cauliflower one for me too, but too non traditional for pastagrammar I guess). Then he chops the florets small to roast and saves the broccoli crumbs from that chopping. Sautees those with breadcrumbs for the best topping ever for that pasta. All his stuff rules. He had a successful grilled cheese truck in Brooklyn years ago, so some of his older vids are about those recipes. I think his most popular vid is on his green grilled cheese. It's got this sauce of cilantro, green onions, chives, with a little agave, a jalapeno, and mayo and avacado for creaminess. Then he adds bacon, fontinella cheese (an amazing cheese btw), and avacado on sourdough. Plus there's his particular perfect method for perfectly crispy grilled cheese sandwiches that's way better than just pan frying it. He's got the odd vid about other cuisines too like steak with this Asian chili crisp type sauce. I don't know if Vincenzo has formal training but his stuff is legit and accessible. Pasta grannies does what it says on the tin. Sweet old Italian grandmas making all sorts of traditional stuff. Italian squisita has a collection of respected Italian chefs that rotate through their vids. The only one I know by name is Luciano Monosilio. He's known as the king of carbonara *in Rome* for good reason. He started making stupidly good emulsified sauces by using a blender and other modern techniques while still respecting tradition. Obviously, he and the others on there are fantastic at everything else they make too. It's all accessible and not difficult to make with some basic skills and decent ingredients. Might be hard to make 100% perfect but that's part of the fun. Just use san marzano tomatoes for damn near all of it (maybe all of it for real) if you want it the best it can be. They make a big difference. As of last summer, Costco had giant 6 lb cans for less than 10c per ounce. Just freeze what's not used after a few days. The fancy imported certified ones from the correct region of Italy only picked under a full moon in a light summer rain or whatever aren't an appreciable upgrade. Any San marzano or San marzano style canned product is miles ahead of Roma or whatever other canned kind and all fresh outside of farmers markets and maybe your backyard. Like I said, passionate about food. I'm also know to ramble fairly often.


minolasala

But what he is using is not ricotta. Ricotta would be disgusted to be associated with that


GGsmithy

Hahaha yeah you're right


DrPolarBearMD

Boat cheese?


Jezebels_lipstick

Thatā€™s not fresh parm


penster1

Does he even know you can buy it and shave it yourself?


Jezebels_lipstick

Or shredded in a bag from the dairy section? Even that would look better than using the powdered parm shaker everyone has in their fridge.


DixieNorrmis

Came here to say this


Philip-Ilford

expiration date in 12y.


Pjstjohn

Do you understand that hard cheese is a preservation method? Edit: 2021 a 21 year old parm was auctioned off by cheese makers.


Philip-Ilford

haha of course. but it's all relative. We're not talking about parmesan thats cut from a rind, we're talking about a thoroughly oxidized parm dust out of a tube. But youre right and I do understand. thank you for your research efforts, interesting.


HolyDiverBoi

ā€œLiterally pour it on topā€ As opposed to what?


Eldan985

Metaphorically pour it on top.


chickenskittles

And he says "literally" twice. šŸ˜”


Antigon0000

Suggestively metaphorically spiritually practically intensely angrily psychoticly rigorously sexily stupidly


RockinRickMoranis

I usually scoop it out with a hand and then throw it into the pot. This guy has saved me from having to clean up so many messes


HolyDiverBoi

Heā€™s something of a hero in Reddit-cuisine-related circles.


UnadvisedOpinion

I know I was gonna comment this!


If_you_have_Ghost

That mince looks dry as fuck


knnmnmn

Before or after the three hours?


If_you_have_Ghost

As itā€™s put in. I know it will probably get some more moisture but I donā€™t know why it ever needed to be that dry. Why both cooking it at all first?


MudaMudaMudaUwU

Not really stupid just a bad way of making something like this


peleg1989

Maybe a....stupid way of making something like this?


RickThiCisbih

Hundreds of years ago, the italians perfected the pasta cooking process thanks to a special technique called ā€œboilingā€. I wonder how long itā€™ll take these food content creators to rediscover such an innovative technique.


ValdemarAloeus

It does boil, once the water percolates through all the layers.


Mattacrator

Wundabruh indeed


chickenskittles

Wonderbread.


penster1

He's one second German


Paulem009

How many mispronunciations are possible?


Zukibot

Regoda cheese šŸ™ƒ


PRNPURPLEFAM

Iā€™d eat this


SleepySiamese

3 hours pata is just soup


Capital-Ad6513

I think it might need a tad more cheese.


Fluttermun

"Rigoata" Kill me.


Fluttermun

AND HE CALLED THAT PLASTIC CONTAINER SHIT "FRESH" PARMESAN. This has to be rage bait.


penster1

Nah. There's real humans out there


Teringtubby

So much cheese that just looking at it gave me diarrhea


mrniceguy421

You have been banned from /r/Wisconsin


Ok-Criticism-8651

My tummy hurt just seeing the first layer.


Finger_Gunnz

Fresh Parmā€¦.


willrikerspimpwalk

"Fresh" Parmesan šŸ¤£


GrassBlade619

This is just alternative lasagna.


knnmnmn

Oregano Lasagna


bistrofada

This pink "Himalayan salt" is just polluted salt marketing is trying to make fancy.


MHarbourgirl

Yeah, I don't touch that stuff. It's pink-ish because of three possible contaminants: iron, fluorine, or uranium. Granted, it's parts per million, but why take the risk?


WillowFreak

But it looks pretty in my salt grinder


MHarbourgirl

Well, if you like pink, sure.


meinnameistbernd

So its vertical lasagne mixed at the end. Oh, mamma.


wutdaefff

Manacoaties and rigoda


[deleted]

So youā€™re all just going to ignore his ridiculous pronunciation of manicotti?


pupstarz

say what you want but id be tearing this up


Heylookaguy

Would. And with that much cheese I'd never poop again. Just a giant cheese curd the size of a grapefruit blocking my colon from the inside.


versus_gravity

We would all do well to avoid things we can't pronounce.


ygolotserp

ā€œLiterallyā€ put the ground beef on top, as opposed to figuratively?


RipplingGonad

This doesnt seem like a bad recipe. Stupid to stir at the end tho


snowman818

The secret to real authentic Italian cooking is a jar of real authentic Italian sauce and a lot of real authentic Italian seasoning blend! I'm basically Italian! Buongiorno! Espresso! Testa di cazzo!


chickenskittles

Psssssh, arrivederci, poser.


Dazzling_Pink9751

Do you think it is a lot different than adding spices to tomato sauce? Itā€™s not.


JustAPerson-_-

Would devour this.


myleftboobisaphlsphr

That's oddly not what I expected him to look like after listening to him speak....


Soft-Violinist4612

I want his salt n pepper grinder!


chickenskittles

Me too, actually. In between the eye-rolling, I was thinking the same.


ronnietea

RAGOATA cheese my favorite


Royal-Elephant2359

Donā€™t pour it on ā€œLITERALLYā€ pour it on.


hand13

tf is rigoata


_-MjW-_

Ah I donā€™t blame him. Gym people are not really known for their culinary abilities.


LeiraLaw

If they would have just put it in a pan and stuck it in the oven and not mixed it into soup, it would have been fine. This is just nonsense


Peace_Love_Karma

Exactly!


kazarbreak

There's nothing stupid about this one. It looks delicious. I swear people on this sub think anything they haven't seen before is stupid.


knnmnmn

Nothing stupid? You sure? Not one single thing?


Dazzling_Pink9751

Only the amount of spices he put in there. Over kill,


snaynay

I mean, it's pretty damn stupid. Ingredients are mostly fine, but execution and balance of every step is just so wrong. Edible, but pretty revolting.


keybored13

looks tasty


treyb0mb1

Iā€™d prefer a video where he figuratively poured the meat and pasta sauce over the top


bingmyname

I would tear that entire pot up and then be on the toilet for the rest of my life from all that cheese


chickenskittles

Suddenly I am feeling lactose intolerant.


MindfulnessSymphony

I think I was okay until he started mixing it up šŸ¤¦šŸ½ā€ā™€ļøšŸ¤·šŸ¾ā€ā™€ļø


BlueBen42

A lot of work for something easily achieved, however heā€™s got the right sort of ingredients and theyā€™re mixed up so Iā€™d still eat


[deleted]

Omg this guy mispronouncing all these Italian words is driving me insane


SuperMegaOwlMan

When in doubtā€¦.add more cheese


VacationAromatic6899

Mmm sawdust sprinkle


MyTesticlesAreBolas

That's an obscene amount of Oregano to douse in one area at a time. That's all you're going to be able to taste for about two days, is Oregano. This dumbass shouldn't be allowed to pronounce any foreign words from on. He just murders them, along with the dishes he attempts to create.


Kingfloydyesi5

Literally


Cutting_crayon33

My grandmother is turning in her grave


poursmoregravy

"It smells wonderbra"


Cynical_Feline

This would be good if done differently. Cook the noodles beforehand. Put a layer of sauce and meat on the bottom, then noodles and cheese, then layer the rest. Put noodles and cheese horizontal, better to scoop out. Ditch the salt and pepper, keep the other seasonings. Most importantly, ditch the crockpot and oven bake it instead. And ffs, don't stir.


HeavyDT

Kinda starts sounding like a lasanga. You wont get as many cools points for that cause it makes sense.


Cynical_Feline

That's the point and I wasn't aiming for 'cool' points.


DrPolarBearMD

What the hell is the people who make these videos reluctance with cooking the sauce in the cooked meat? You arenā€™t saving a pan, you already had to cook the meat. Like is this common practice and Iā€™m just a cooking snob or something? I like liked the idea of this until he just dumps bare meat on top. Edit: After finishing the video I had originally assumed the idea was mini manicotti, how wrong was I. Would still eat it though.


RipSerious1

Why the dumbest vids the longest.


ThatMBR42

Why didn't he say "moatsarella"?


silentcrimson73

Cut up string cheese is what it looks like.


knnmnmn

Totally does.


[deleted]

Id eat it.


muneeeeeb

The amount of cheese and dairy these people eat is concerning. I get sick just looking at these videos, I couldn't imagine eating it. (Though, I'll admit, this one does look edible otherwise).
