Hello! Welcome back to my channel,
Devina Hermawan.
Today, we'll be making a creamy, yummy,
and fragrant pasta that kids will love.
I won't call this Carbonara, though we can call it that.
It's a hybrid between white sauce and Carbonara.
Carbonara has simple ingredients, but the
flavor complexity is different to today's Creamy Pasta.
We'll discuss that later.
Let's dive into the ingredients!
First, we need pasta,
smoked beef, and mushroom.
Use whatever accompaniment you want,
smoked beef, mushroom, salmon, smoked salmon, etc.
I've boiled the spaghetti. I'm using Spaghetti No. 10.
It means the diameter is 1 mm.
If it's Spaghetti No. 11,
the diameter is 1.1 mm.
I've boiled it for 5 - 6 minutes.
It's still a bit firm as we'll cook it again with the sauce.
If we look inside,
there'll still be white uncooked spots.
Usually, if I were to cook the spaghetti again,
I'll cook it first to that state.
For the basic sauce, we've got onion, garlic, flour, water,
cream, nutmeg, and white pepper.
For the finishing, to make it even shinier, more fragrant,
and yummier, we'll add butter and egg yolk.
For the cheese, I'm using Parmesan and cream cheese.
It's okay to use either one or other types of cheese.
It's to make the pasta more savory.
Let's start!
First, we'll sauté the mushroom.
We'll sauté and cook everything in one pan.
So practical.
I'm using a pan from GreenPan's Queens series.
GreenPan doesn't contain any harmful chemicals.
The coating is made from natural ingredients.
It's a nonstick ceramic.
Let's heat the pan.
It's okay not to add oil but when sautéing mushrooms,
we still need oil to make it fragrant.
After it's heated, add the mushroom in.
Sauté until it's fragrant and browned.
That's the key to release the aroma further.
I prefer to cook mushrooms first when I use them.
As we wait,
let's prepare the other ingredients.
Next, add the garlic and onion in.
 
Also, the smoked beef.
Sauté until fragrant.
After it's fragrant,
add a bit of nutmeg.
There's a bit of Bechamel or white sauce flavor
in the base, so I'm adding nutmeg.
If you don't like nutmeg, just skip it.
It won't affect the flavor.
Add the white pepper in, and a bit of flour
to thicken the sauce as I'll be using quite a lot of liquid.
Add the water in.
You can use pasta water, as well.
If you have pasta water or the water you used
to boil pasta, you didn't need to add more flour...
...as the water contains starch
so the sauce will thicken by itself.
Here, I'm using regular water.
Season with salt. Be careful as the cheese
is already salty so don't add too much salt.
Add some sugar to balance the flavor
and bring forth more creaminess.
Next, we can add the pasta now.
When cooking pasta with tomato or cream sauce,
don't be too stingy with the water.
Pasta will absorb a lot of water
and that's how the flavor gets absorbed.
But don't use too little water, too.
If it looks a bit dry, just add some water.
Next, add the cream in.
You can also use milk, evaporated milk, or creamer.
It's still soupy but it's quite well-absorbed.
Just cook it for a bit.
Turn off the heat,
and move on to the finishing.
Add the butter in.
Add the Parmesan or any other cheese.
I'm using two kinds of cheese, a little bit of each.
Then, the yolk.
 
Transfer it to a plate.
This is really creamy and fragrant.
I'll add Parmesan on top, too.
Parmesan is the MSG of Western cooking as it's savory.
So, when I'm making Aglio Olio or other pasta dishes,
I add some Parmesan.
Parmesan is an aged cheese.
The flavor is far more complex than fresh cheese.
That's why it can make pasta
and other dishes to be more savory.
Let's taste.
 
Don't forget the mushroom and smoked beef.
So yummy. The flavor is creamy and thick,
but it's not sickening or too creamy.
We didn't use too much cream and we added water, too.
We also thicken it with flour.
It's not only tasty but it'll also become a healthy menu
for your family and kids.
There's butter and egg yolk in here.
You can also replace the smoked beef
with fish like salmon, chicken, etc.
Another important point
is that I cooked it with GreenPan.
We have to make sure to cook with kitchenwares
free of dangerous chemicals.
When we heat a pan, there's a chance
the chemicals inside will evaporate if it gets too hot.
That might happen if we use kitchenwares
containing dangerous materials.
When we cook,
the pan's coating may come off.
If the materials used are dangerous,
it'll be harmful when ingested.
GreenPan is made of natural ceramic
so it's not harmful for our body.
When you cook, you can see how durable the coating is.
It doesn't scratch easily and it's easy to clean.
Just wash it with a soft sponge
and it'll be clean.

GreenPan has a wide range of products for your needs.
