I'm really bad at portioning uncooked pasta...so if you and 110 of your friends wanna come over, dinner is ready.
If you think that's bad, wait until you try to cook rice. I have 1 billion friends waiting, don't let us down.
Get a bunch of pasta that is about a quarter thick. That is your average portion for one person. Always worked for me and my family
i just don't get this!
HAhaha perfect!
Get a kitchen scale and do something like 250g of pasta per serving when you portion it out into containers.

Wacky question. If fiber helps our glucose levels raise safer, why don't they lace cupcakes with Metamucil? Sugar is added in all the processed first world food we eat, why can't they add fiber to match and maybe cut down on the obesity epidemic? Is it different somehow that I don't understand or is it really that easy to make sweet foods less bad for you?
***** it would alter the taste that they are looking to achieve, that and sugar is usually added for the taste.
Re-heated pasta sounds weird? Um, it sounds pretty normal to me.
Pretty much do it every time I make lasagna. Now I will just do it all the time ;-)
Now see, THIS is the type of stuff that needs to be all over your channel -- NEW, surprising, and beneficial information with a decent study behind it. Not all this 5-year-old "lets re-spark the SCARE people had 5 yrs ago when they first thought this was the case, but was proven wrong long ago" stuff. This is the age of new information. It should be quite easy for you to find interesting nuggets like this.
As well, Ive been eating most of my pasta cold lately, simply because I cook way too much initially, being hungry, and then not being able to eat nearly enough. I actually enjoy certain pastas cold (Macaroni? Nomnom). The only pasta I think I hate after cooled/reheated.. is spaghetti. No idea why, it tastes so different.. so.... blegh. But looks like Ill adopt this more often.
"lets re-spark the SCARE people had 5 yrs ago when they first thought this was the case, but was proven wrong long ago"
^Such as? Give an example.
LastBref Any number of their videos in the past 6 months. Take your pick.
Or you could similarly read the comments for those videos and see several others complaining about the same hting I just said.
LastBref they do employ a large number of scare tactic headlines, but they usually do a pretty good job of explaining it realistically. There have been a few where the title was such a reach they didn't accurately describe the content of the video.
I really don't care, I see much worse on TV "news". While a little hypey at times d-news seems to have struck a decent balance of entertainment and news.
yes I agree, they need information that is applicable to my daily life
_"Now see, THIS is the type of stuff that needs to be all over your channel -- NEW, surprising, and beneficial information with a decent study behind it. (...)"_
So basically, the only time DNews actually comes up with some informational videos, they have to steal documentary material from the BBC? xD
This has to be one of the best DNews episodes I have seen in a LOOOONG time. Great work and thanks for sharing Ms Long.
I'm a diabetic and I demand this research into reheated pasta takes top priority in the world of science!
It'd be nice to see a follow up on this. When my father, who's diabetic, just ate pasta, it's an intriguing idea.
does the "resistant pasta" effect work only on pasta? or will it work with reheated rice or reheated bread?
+Juan2003gtr - Bring that chorizo over papi..
I think that "fresh pasta" is not what most people are eating to begin with. I'd need to see how off the shelf dehydrated pasta (the hard stuff most of us boil) is any different, and how whole wheat pasta compares as well. And of course, an actual scientific study over years would always be helpful. For now, this has the same weight as the junk you see on Doctor Oz.
i remember seeing the title for this video and i forgot to watch it for almost 4 years
For reheating pasta, I keep the noodles and whatever sauce i'm using separate, so when I need to heat it up, I run the noodles under hot water until they're heated again. Pasta pro-tip :D
pro tip #2: run it in a sieve under a tap then toss the pasta in oil so they dont stick.
Honestly, that sounds like a waste of water to me. I recommend putting the pasta in a pot with a small amount of water and a bit of your preferred oil, then heating it up while stirring, so the pasta doesn't burn/get stuck at the bottom of the pot. The water vapourizes into steam and it tastes fresh again :)
RubbaNoze Adding oil to pasta water has been shown to not have much if any of an effect on whether it sticks, the oil when initially cooking is so the pot doesn't boil over.
I cook my pasta "al dente", that is, not quite fully cooked. After I boil pasta. I actually rinse it with warm/cold water to wash away all the sticky stuff, after which it's a lot better tasting when you add even a tiny bit of butter or oil. In doing so, the temp drops pretty low, so I then microwave the whole thing and it's quite delicious. I've actually been eating nothing but pasta the past while (with occasional fast food). I don't have the fastest metabolism but I'm 140lbs/63kg and I've been losing weight, which I didn't really expect from this kind of a diet. Just keep in mind that I have a busy schedule and don't eat all that regularly. I have no problem with energy levels either, though I do drink coffee throughout the day. My staple thing with pasta is to add something like tomatoes/meatballs/olives in some combination plus light seasoning, usually lots of pepper and a bit of salt.
Drinking game, take a shot every time she says pasta.
i died.
I fapped.
I like reheated lasagne waaaay better than ''fresh'' (?) lasagne (and I love fresh lasagna). I think most foods taste better reheated actually. I love leftovers :)
Try some cold rotini or penne with just olive oil and red pepper, a little salt or parmesan.
It's really good, it's got a sort of chewy texture. Now I'm hungry haha
SBwingman My brother often eats similar things (cold pasta with very minimal other ingredients) :) It always smells great so yeah, guess I should try it once
I have been eating Fiber Gourmet pasta for about l0 years or more. It has only 130 calories and 18 grams of fiber. This pasta ( spaghetti,penne, rigatoni, etc.) is made with resistant starch already and is delicious. The way my daughter and I eat this has kept us thin and happy because we love pasta and don't have to give it up. This is what I do before I ever heard of cold to hot, etc. We eat about l0PM but Idon't want to be in the kitchen cooking that late, so I make our meals and put them in nice glass serving plates, with the 2 oz. dry of spaghetti, which makes a big serving, with sauce or whatever you want on it, and a lot of veggies, at least 1 cup of more. Then I put our bowls in the fridge and let them sit all evening until l0 PM when they are very cold, we leave them out for about 2 hours to come to room temperature , then heat about 3 min. in microwave and it is delicious. There is NOTHING wrong with a reheated meal, the only thing we heat separately is fish or that type that will over cook. I guess that's why I haven't gained any weight back. Eat that twice a week with other meals and you are a winner. Its a little pricey, but you are only eating 2 oz. dry each a serving. Check their website at fibergourmet.com
Just cook it "al dente" and it will have the same effect. The sugars will be released much slower than with overcooked pasta. Also, it will be benefit your digestion process, as you will digest it much faster than with overcooked pasta. Italians do it also for this reason, not only taste.
You have no idea how much the thumbnail for this video MADE MY DAY!
So microwave food is good for you?
I came across this video as I was finishing my reheated pasta. Gave me a bit of a smile.
Okay, I have worked in the food industry for 12 years, during that time, I did work for a four star restaurant that re-heated all of its pasta...mainly to retain the quality of the original, without having to spend the time, common practice really. The point being that the re-heated version was never received in a dis-favorable fashion, maybe because people did not feel like they were sick shorty after, as I commonly do when eating fresh pasta...just a thought
at most bigger restaurants pasta is cooked, cooled, then portioned out so it can be reheated in whatever dish you ordered
I did it with rice and the result was great when it comes to digestion. My intestines don't handle it well and bulge out the abdominal mesh when I eat rice but after learning to refrigerate it for 24 hrs before eating it I had no issue at all 😁
Reheated pasta is the bomb. I like to put some spicy olive oil in the pan and put cold pasta in it, then add a little bit of extra sauce on top.
I eat reheated pasta all the time - it tastes almost as good as fresh pasta to me, and i don't need to take the time to cook it :)
This news is good to hear
I'm an employee at a Noodle's and Company that is exactly what we do. We cook it, cool it, then cook it again to order. Didn't know that it was specifically more healthy, that's pretty cool
What does she mean "fresh pasta"? Fresh pasta is much different than dried pasta. She doesn't mention anything about dried or fresh pasta.
When I worked at a restaurant we would technically "re heat" the pasta during service. I would cook off a large batch of dried pasta, cool it down, and keep it in the lowboy ready for service. when an order came in I would make the sauce, then toss the pasta in the sauce, thus reheating it.
Some clarification would be nice, as "fresh pasta" is usually used to refer to pasta that has been made, rolled, cut and then cooked before it has time to dry out, usually immediately.
Cool! Maybe I should try an experiment. I have type 1 diabetes, and pasta has an explosive effect on my blood sugar level - so much so, that I need to take my fast acting insulin 15 minutes before I start eating, so my blood sugar is falling before I get any food in my stomach. Normally I can just take my insulin right before or right after eating without any problems.
Lemonz1989 so any updates?
Man. Reheated pasta was always better than fresh stuff anyway. Now I'm gonna enjoy it even more!
Now I love you. Finally someone is doing something for the leftovers. I just had pasta cooked earlier today. It was good and obviously healthier. Some people want only raw food and some say cooking the food was one of the great inventions for human nutrition in order to digest it. Both in combination surely is the best. What happens to a twice heated pie? Chicken in sauce cooked, cooled and heated again tastes the best, do you know if it's good or bad?
By the way, since I noticed this statistical news, about a decade ago, I was eyeing into their highly boiled foods and they were red. I followed their red saucy kitchen foods result was that I was feeling better and smoother feeling on my skin.
Restaurants pre-make your pasta, rinse it off with cold water, and store them in 5 gallon containers in the frig. When you order pasta, they grab a handful in a strainer and they dip it into their pot of boiling water. As they prepare your dish, in a few minutes, they strain your pasta, add sauce and cheese, poop into the boiler, and out comes your baked ziti in 5 minutes.
This is really interesting to know. My husband and I may try this for a while and see how it goes. Also, if you don't like the way microwaved pasta tastes, reheat it on the stove in a pan with bit of olive oil, then add sauce and heat until desired temp is reached. Other than pre-heating the pan, doing this only takes 3-5 minutes. If I can do it (hubby is a chef and I suck at cooking) then it can't be that hard...
Reheated pasta is fine as long as it was reheated in water (like recooking in the pot) or with a sauce already on it if you're microwaving.
i dont know why but i prefer my pasta cold & hard as a corpse
so uncooked :P
no not uncooked, i just put it on the freezer before eating
Just like your lovers?
Fruitarian So like long pieces of ice?
lol nothing special just let the pasta freez, & like fried noodles from china itll soften when you put the warm sauce, but you can still feel the coldness of the pasta in your mouth
I love leftover pasta because it is like eating fried noodles. What I wonder was this study done with just the pasta itself or with a pasta dish that was served fresh, cold and reheated. I would suspect the resistant starch effects would be the same but the fats in the meal would also be processed further so you would have less transfats and more cisfats. Also some resistant starches when fried actually help to break down transfats and triglycerides further like they do with French fries cooked in an oat flour/cornmeal/wheat flour mixture.
Tara, reheated pasta isn't too bad actually, and I was eating some while I watched this video!
*X-Files Music*
Really surprising! Can't wait to see further research on this
Reheated pasta is probably my favorite thing in the world. If you mix pasta with a bit of carbonada and some tomatoes, and then heat it up with some cheese, it is freaking amazing
I like , how Tara says "pasta" . After a while it´s funny. :)
PAR-stah
Agreed 100% ! Been doing it for the past 30 years. This is not a new discovery. Maybe it's new for those doing the tests.
I have bought these meals that have pasta that have already been cooked. Placed in plastic bags and then you reheat them for what ever meals. The brand is Amy Chun's I think, all various kinds of asian dishes involving noodles of some kind. I love Udon noodles the most.
Great to hear this about reheating pasta.
Being English, listening to Tara say pasta, makes me cry.
i cook in large batches to save electricity, i reheat all my food and i cook once every 2 days, this is great news.
i wonder if this is the same case with rice..
maybe it could be the same
Some reheated food taste better, for example lasagna I always find that reheated it taste better. So in my case this is awesome. Thanks again D news team always to the rescue of us average folk who like science but didn't go to college for it... I'm an A&P tech and also a diesel Mechanic.
Leftovers are so good! Especially frozen leftovers that where left out just a little bit before freezing. I know it sounds weird, but by doing that bacteria and freezing help breakdown the food on the small scale, and thus intensify the flavor. Btw you can't do this with all food. But wheat and starch based meals? Oh you bet it's good.
Its not all about leftyovers or reheating your pasta, just let it cool down a while after cooking, and/or rinse with cold (clean filtered) water, don't use nasty straight tap water.
Keep the pasta semi-covered while cooling to retain some moisture and not get to sticky or hard. When reheating Pasta, spray a little water on it, reheat it on low short time in a sauce pot, oven, or toasty oven. Don't use Microwave, it destroys the texture of pasta and is nasty anyway. If your having Spaghetti sauce with your pasta, try it cold.
I think the reason I trust Dnews is that they don't have any problem pointing out how unscientific their sources might have been.
I literally watched this while eating leftover spaghetti. Awesome sauce!
being a pasta lover this great news lol
Wow I never knew that, thanks guys. Now I'm going to reheat some leftover beef a Ronni, which I hope is the same as pasta.
So.... what does that mean for frozen pasta meals (lasagna, mac and cheese, etc.) in the grocery store freezer section?
His palms spaghetti, knees weak arms spaghetti, theres vomit on his sweater spaghetti, MOMS SPAGHETTI.
Silver Fang ha
I've eaten plenty of reheated pasta, and I have to say it often tastes better than the fresh pasta, if it's been in the fridge overnight that is.
Same thing happens with potatoes. Think potato salad.
Reheated pasta FTW!
this is great news because i like to cook a big batch of pasta and then have it for meals for the next cupple days
Leftovers according to me when I was 10: EEEWWWW!! Yucky!
Leftovers according to me as an adult living on my own: Holy Fuck I Have FOOD!
This deserves a thorough study!
- Do properly controlled conditions change the outcome?
- Does it matter if it's frozen or just chilled?
- Does it matter if it's cooled before it's cooked or only after?
- Does it only effect pasta made with wheat flour?
- Does the presence or absence or type of sauce make a difference?
...etc. We need 1,000 volunteers to eat pasta, dammit!
There's a newer study now that examines more people, 45 test persons, and get similar results. Doesn't answer all of your questions though. However, the conditions in the experiment were like so:
Cool down in fridge for 24 hours after cooking and reheat in microwave. The kind of flour shouldn't make a difference in theory, but I don't know if they've tested it, however they expect to get the same result with other starchy foods such as rice and potatoes, so type of flour shouldn't really matter. What matters is that the food is starchy and the starch changes structure during the process, turning much of the starch into so called resistant starch that is not as easily digested by the stomach and behaves more like fiber.
I love reheated pasta. Had it for lunch today.
Interesting... When I'm done cooking my pasta I run it under cold water to stop the cooking and keep it from getting sticky, I then warm it back up with hot water and let it sit in that for serving if I made a large batch. Wonder if it gets that reheating benefit.
Count how many times Tara said "pasta" in this episode!
Yeah ---pahsta...
20 pehastah ^_^
Pahshta
😂
This is pretty cool, if i have an extra 10 minutes i will take the time to reheat my pasta from now on, i've just had some pasta i wish i watched this video 40 minutes earlier.
Well, it's time to make some more spaghetti!
Depends on the pasta and the sauce, but reheated pasta can be just as good as freshly cooked.
Good to know, I am a regular re-heater of Penne Pasta, Seems you eat more also with the left overs :)
Winner of a video, I have been researching "can you eat brown pasta on a diet?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Piyandon Acclaimed Prepotence - (do a search on google ) ? It is an awesome one of a kind product for discovering how to say goodbye to your embarrassing manboobs minus the normal expense. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my colleague got excellent results with it.
@@dinukaravi968 Finally, after 6 years someone responds 😂🍻🥳
I'm very interested to see if leftover pizza works the same as the experiment pasta did.
I think this is really interesting! I've had pasta fresh and reheated, so it's interesting to find out that the effect is different even if the taste is almost the same. I enjoy it both ways.
Always wondered why reheated pasta tasted so awesome... science!
Tara with glasses >>>>>
Now I'm gonna eat my pasta like this.
AWESOME for someone like me, who cook the week's worth of food at once and reheat when needed :P
Pasta is everything made from wheat, yes? Like spaghetti, rotini, macaroni, etc?
I have found that some foods taste better the next day. But it really matters on how one heats it up. I mean think about if you going to micowave it, or warm it up with butter or oil are you really getting any benefit. Again only some food, sometimes.
Damnit, now I'm in the mood for pasta...
i usually make more than i need, and break everything up into smaller portions to be eaten later on in the week.
I really like cold pasta....
I love how she says "paasta" rather posh and almost British. #lovetheshow
Heard this on lite.fm this morning. pretty cool.
I like how Tara says pasta ^^
They never said how they reheated the pasta. microwave or stove top?? I always just use the stove top and reheat my noodles and sauce together with a lil oil and it comes out good as before
Trust me I am a doctor. Sounds like a line said to get girls :)
I wonder if this would apply to other grains as well; I could see it being different since you don't cook most of them in water and there are differences in surface area etc, but that would explain why cold pizza tastes good.
They expect that it applies to all starchy foods, since it is the starch that changes structure and turns into socalled resistant starch.
Re-Heated Pasta is a little dry, and feels sticky. Like, it'll just clump together and instead of eating a few strands of pasta, you're biting into a sphere of the stuff.
Still tastes the same though, so maybe not a bad idea.
Put a glass of water next to the plate in the microwave.
It'll prefent it from going dry.
Wasn't that debunked years ago?
TheOrangeType
Not that I know of.
I do it all the time and it works for me
I just turn my kitchen tap on hot and wash the pasta first, it separates and moistens it so it doesn't clump as much :)
i put 2 tablespoons of butter on it , sometimes one..
Test it again!!
So why not just cook the pasta normally, strain it into some ice water, then put it back in the pot and heat it up again? Totally works right?
I think its not so surprising. cooking it raises the food to a higher temperature compared to just reheating it. Or maybe its just a different phase of starch. Can be represented with a time temperature transformation (TTT) diagram. Heating it breaks it down so I imagine the broken down form has higher energy and that form is the most stable at that temperature. Over time the starch reforms from small stuff into the fibrous stuff. However the pasta doesnt go back to being hard uncooked pasta since there is still water in it. They really should test the pasta chemically (I dont know the chemistry but I hope there is a way to do that) rather than merely testing the response in humans like a brute force scientist.
It would be interesting to test other starches like rice, potatoes or breads.
I did not even know that people had a problem with reheating their food till after watching this. Sure some food is best eaten freshly cooked but pasta can retain its taste for days.
Does it matter what way you cool your pasta? I mean, do you get the same effects if you cool the pasta by rinsing it with cold water, leaving it to cool in room temperature or leaving it to cool in the fridge/freezer? Also, how long should you leave it to cool before you reheat it--and how "cool" should it be?
How she said pasta makes me laugh so much
I wonder if you microwaved the flour before making it into pasta, would it have the same effect? could this start a new trend of eating microwaved starches? very interesting.
But pasta is a cooked in the first place and cooled down before it reach the store. So how can that be possible? Unless doing it couple of time increase the fiber-like structures?
I'm actually eating reheated pasta while watching this video.
Reheated how? Microwave? Steamed? Reboiled? Does how you reheat make a difference?
i LOVE reheated pasta...i dont know why, i like it even more than just cooked pasta
If it's true, this will be a revolution in pasta fine dining cuisine.
O WOW, I love recooked pasta. I refry it all the time if my wife makes extra. I always steal it for a meal. When I showed her your video she pronounce my love for cold pasta. Thank you very much on this one and many others.
awesome find!!!
So how about if you cool down your reheated pasta... and then heat it up again a second time? Even better?
Now all the restaurant will be reselling old pasta with higher prices.
give her a raise, she does a great job giving the news (im her father)
lol
I wasn't really listening to the video. I was just thinking of eating pasta
