00:00You know how you see some recipes on the internet
00:01and you can't do anything else until you make it?
00:03This creamy zucchini pasta is that for me.
00:05I'm gonna start by heating some oil in a skillet
00:08and add in some onion and zucchini.
00:10Stir that together and let it cook down for a few minutes.
00:12Add in a little salt to help it all soften.
00:14Go in with some fresh basil, cook it down a little more,
00:17and then go in with water.
00:19You're gonna bring this to a simmer
00:20and let it cook until everything is really soft.
00:22When the zucchini's really tender,
00:24we're gonna take about half of it out
00:26and then we're gonna puree it.
00:28This goes back in.
00:30Okay, now this is the fun part.
00:31It's already gonna be creamy because of that puree,
00:33but now we're going to cook d'Italini pasta in the liquid.
00:37The starches are gonna come out, it's gonna be doubly creamy.
00:39Also gonna add in some more salt.
00:41My liquid's absorbing pretty quickly.
00:43He said you could just add more water as needed.
00:45I'm gonna go in with just a little bit of chicken stock.
00:47Look at that!
00:49Okay, the finishing touch.
00:50Lots of grated Parmesan cheese and black pepper.
00:53So creamy.
00:55A little more cheese.
00:56Some more fresh basil.
00:57Another crack of pepper.
00:59And now I get to taste it.
01:00There's no cream in there.
01:03I feel like I'm sitting on some sort of veranda
01:06in the middle of Italy.
01:07Very few simple ingredients and you have a masterpiece.
01:10You gotta make this one.
01:11I think this is gonna become a hyperfixation.
01:13I don't know when a–
01:13I don't know when I feel anything.
01:13I don't know if I'm afraid of this guy.
