    I bought your book for my husband this Xmas. BEST GIFT EVER! He really got back into cooking again after being out of it for a while. He made me this dish last week and it was the best thing I ate in years. I was just so damn delicious. And no - it doesn’t taste like anchovies (not a fan), the fish just give the dish this amazing rich flavor. And the book is also hilarious to read. Love it! So thank you! ❤

    Hey Molly, my wife and I are actually going to make this tonight. We love cheesy shells. I told her "Molly should make her next cookbook called 'Baz to the Bone' like bone broth because it's food related" and she laughed at me. I said I'm going to comment on her YT page about it if she has one and she said, Molly does so here I am holding my end of the bargain.

    One of my all time fav Molly recipes is smashed potatoes with walnut dressing! It took me several times to get it bc at that time I was buying cheap olive oil, but I learned so much about cooking with that recipe. I finally started getting really good olive oil and it made that recipe so delish!! This one looks great too, I’ll definitely be trying it out this weekend!

    IMO- One of the best parts of baked pasta is making it in advance for a gathering so there is little labor to do while guests are there.

    • @pinobluevogel6458
      @pinobluevogel6458 Год назад +4

      Great point. Leaving it in the fridge overnight even makes it better, so you can prepare it a day early, then pop it in the oven 30-45 min before dinner, then drink some wine with your guests and serve when ready.
      I think fast cooking is definitely overrated and is meant for the days where you have a lot of work and not a lot of time.

    • @Zoe-rf3ly
      @Zoe-rf3ly Год назад +4

      her goal is to reduce the cream down & thicken it, so adding it to water would just prolong the process :)

  • @pinobluevogel6458
    @pinobluevogel6458 Год назад +4

    While this has very little to do with traditional pasta, it looks like a delicious recipe. I understand the idea that you don't want to spend a ton of time making a pasta dish and it isn't a great fit for a short video format.
    I have to say though, that making a big family style lasagna is totally worth it. A lot of the preparation can be done beforehand, most of the time is spend slowly cooking the sauce and you only have to keep an eye on it for most of that duration. This is a dish loved by many, including children and some of the most picky eaters. If you want to go non-italian, non-traditional lasagna, you can even use your leftover vegetables in the sauce and just throw them in there.

    • @sean8563

  • @adb1917
    @adb1917 Год назад +3

    I love anchovies on pizza but I’ve never really had them on anything else. I’m curious to know what kind of flavor they add to something like a pasta sauce, I’m guessing not overly fishy? Because on a pizza or whole you can really taste the briny oily-ness and I just can’t see that going with this dish but maybe it does. I know it’s the main ingredient in some dressings as well but I don’t eat much salad! Anyways, this looks so good 🤤

    • @Zoe-rf3ly
      @Zoe-rf3ly Год назад +5

      I personally think they add a really nice, rich salty umami note without adding too much distinct flavor!

    • @pinobluevogel6458
      @pinobluevogel6458 Год назад +2

      Zoe is right, they add Umami (savory) to the dish. It might seem like an odd choice, but because it is so very little anchovis compared to the large amount of cream, garlic and parm, it won't taste fishy at all.
      The traditional dressing for Ceasar Salad also uses anchovis in the same way, you don't taste it individually but it adds a layer of complexity to the dressing that improves it.

    • @adb1917
      @adb1917 Год назад

      Thanks for the reply! I’ll have to tell my family and friends who don’t like anchovies. Hopefully the fact that it doesn’t exactly taste like anchovies will win them over into trying this meal!

  • @vector222
    @vector222 7 месяцев назад

    Just adding toasted panko doesn't do enough to make this resemble baked pasta imo. Baked pasta gets its character from the *actual* pasta noodle having those crispy bits and heterogeneity. Think of those corner slices in a pan of baked ziti or baked shells or baked mac and cheese.

      Why would she want that? So she can work in some garbage studio under a production team that doesn't get her vision, where it's all about reality hosts, product placement, and cheap content?
      She's got a WAAAY better deal right here, and it's a far better product she's providing to her fans.

    • @pinobluevogel6458
      @pinobluevogel6458 Год назад

      Agreed, if she can make a living building her channel, sell her books and doing this with her own team, that would be a win for most people. In the end Molly has to decide for herself though. Unless she is a crazy good actor, I think we can safely say she is enjoying what's she's doing in the videos. Focus on having fun first, money or widespread acknowledgement later

    Any sizzling you hear is still from water. Fast low-level sizzling is from steam, as opposed to the pops you hear from full droplets. Vegetable oil will smoke long before it starts to boil. Smoke point of oil is about 400F, and boiling point is close to 600F. Boiling oil is extremely dangerous, and near ready to ignite and explode.
