  1. Why am I seeing this?
    Is someone trying new things?
    I don t care for pasta. I know its a waste cause im hungry 20 mins later.
    No offence.
    But seeing how someone puts effort into it just beaks my heart

  2. Even with norwegian prices that + oil and vegetables would not be more than 2 euro (3max)

  3. Hi, @DenisInTheKitchen,

    I just want to know, is it safe/healthy to cook in these ALuminium pans? And scratching with the metal tweezers? Probably you had these questions before, sorry for that

    Thank you for all the recipes, all are wonderful! And the techniques… 😉

  4. I'm confused, how does that emulsify. Is it the succhini or the cheese with the pasta starch?

  5. Just curious, why did he take out the first few cukkini? Was is cause they where getting brown too early compared to the others? or smth else? I#m genuinely curious!

  6. How do you judge how long you cook the pasta for before adding it to the sauce, then how long you want it cooking in the sauce and then how much pasta water your adding for that stage to get the right cooking time overall. I didn't see you check the pasta doneness. Sauce looked super creamy.

  7. Is that all olive oil you’re frying those courgettes in? I thought olive oil wasn’t for frying?

  8. Thank you for sharing this recipe. I made this earlier and it was super delicious. Everyone loved it including someone who normally hates zucchini. Now, I did make the mistake of salting the zucchini before frying them to get rid of the water but I won't do that next time and that is totally on me being used to doing this whenever I cook with zucchini. Tasted great anyway but it was a bit on the salty side due to my own mistake.

  9. Watching you make this dish reminds me of Howard Nemerov's poem, "Because You Asked about the Line Between Prose and Poetry":

    Sparrows were feeding in a freezing drizzle
    That while you watched turned to pieces of snow
    Riding a gradient invisible
    From silver aslant to random, white, and slow.

    There came a moment that you couldn’t tell.
    And then they clearly flew instead of fell.
