2 RECIPES INSIDE THIS RECIPE

Each with its own weights, steps and timings

The sauce, the cure, the dough, the dressing — a restaurant makes these itself, and so will you. Every one below is a full sub-recipe: its own ingredient list, its own method, its own yield and shelf life. Nothing says «use shop-bought».

Pan sauce

Film

The sauce built in the pan the pasta will finish in, loosened with starchy water at the end.

Pasta finished in its sauce absorbs it. Sauce poured on top sits there.

Pasta, one minute short

Pasta boiled a minute under the packet time and lifted into the pan, water and all.

The last minute happens in the sauce. Drained in a colander it loses the starch that binds everything.

METHOD

STEP BY STEP — 13 STEPS

11 photographed · 4 filmed

Written the way a restaurant writes a technical card: one operation per step, each with its own time and temperature. 11 of the 13 carry a photo of what it should look like at that moment, and 4 carry a short clip for the parts a still cannot show.

Hardest step: adding the pasta water a splash at a time — step 8 of 13.
