Also hot dog water
This implies pasta was made for breakfast.
Probably going to have it with strawberries.
Capellini with strawberry and mint sauce?
You can use the pasta water to make a hell of a tasty alfredo sauce (or use to thicken up most Italian sauces really). That's the only use I've found for it so far.
this reminds me of that one tlc episode where a woman scraped leftover spaghetti sauce from plates to reuse it and made lasagna in a dishwasher or some shit
zero waste
disposable coffee filter
paper is compostable
So is water..
Source?
I piss on my flowers every day, it's basically the same thing.
It's hard to tell, but it looks similar to my reusable hemp cloth filter. There's a chance it's reusable.
it may be disposable, but it is also eatable.
So are the coffee grounds
It doesn't make any waste if you never dispose of the filter.
I compost the filters
a metal filter would make the pasta water coffee taste bad
who knows how many times she used it already/plans to use
Also, you used a paper filter, you dumb ass
What's wrong with a paper filter for a pour over?
It filters out the microscopic pasta chunks that you get to chew on if you brew it directly in the cup
mmm delicious 😋
She eats pasta for breakfast?
breakfast isn't magical, just eat whatever makes you happy.
Meal prep maybe. But if I had the time and energy to cook it in the morning, I'd eat spaghetti all the time for breakfast
You want to save water when boiling pasta? Stop using a big pot.
Pour the pasta into a skilled, add enough water to completely cover it and turn on the heat. Add a pinch of salt (not too much, as you will be eating all of it) and allow the pasta to cook. It will slowly absorb the water it needs and will normally leave little to none behind. If some water is left behind, use it to thicken sauces; the gluten in the water helps.
This works with every pasta, even spaghetti.
This is great advice and took me far to long to learn; I also tend to spare a little pasta water to pour over the pasta at the end, and remember to stir a ton!
Has she peed that day? Is that what she cooked the pasta in?
ZERO waste, leave no trace.
Next time use coffee water to cook pasta
Bathwater > pasta water > coffee water
Otherwise it's unhygenic
That may be, but a coffee shower sounds reasonable to me at this point.
I'm already a full convert. Coffee shower, coffee scrub, coffee face mask, rinse, repeat. Repeat 6x daily for maximum benefit.
Wouldn't it be better to boil, make the coffee, and use the rest of the water for pasta?
no ❤️
No, because the water you use for coffee is converted entirely to coffee+wet grounds. Can't save there. But the pasta water isn't entirely absorbed by the pasta and the sauce.
Note that you can cook noodles in gay less water than used by traditional methods and then use the excess to make your sauce.
gay less water
So... does that imply most water is gay?
I mean... its wet isn't it.
no ❤️
Please don’t feed the pedants.
More like coffee drule, amiright?
Yeah if you make a pasta bake with dry pasta, just add equal weights pasta and water and it should cook OK.
So this is how you do an Italian pour over. Interesting...
Imagine using it for that Dalgona coffee everyone was making during lockdown. The creaminess from all that starchy water would be next level
Just use pasta/rice water to water your plants. They will enjoy the extra nutrients.
Edit: maybe not, I'm not a scientist.
I was wondering about this because that seems like a good idea upfront, but apparently:
- The extra minerals and stuff is a very minor benefit for plants and will not substitute for fertilizer.
- If you put salt or seasoning in the boiling water, don't use it for plants.
- The starch might also promote mold / bacteria growth.
Pasta water is in fact an excellent thing to save... As a cooking ingredient.
Specifically, what you can do is freeze it in an ice cube tray, and then store the cubes in a Ziploc. A handful of cubes added to a soup, stew, stock or sauce will give it a smoother, more silky texture thanks to all the starch.
Satan, please...
Well, somebody had to try. If it worked, it could have become the next big trend at Starbucks®️ or some artisanal coffee shops.
Am I tripping balls?
