- Hi everyone.
My name is Tyler Oakley
and I recently came across
a little interview that
Robert Pattinson did.
You may remember him from Twilight.
Back in the day in college I used to go
to all the midnight showings of Twilight.
Good times.
Now fast forward like a decade.
He is about to star in Batman I think,
but he was doing an
interview with GQ magazine,
and he was talking about like
this, that the other, whatever.
I don't know.
And during the interview there is a part
where he is trying to make
his hand-held, home-made pasta situation
and as soon as the internet found this,
everyone was like, "What the fuck?"
Because the recipe is
like a roller coaster.
It's unclear, the ingredients are bizarre.
I am no chef, but I did
look at what he was up to
and, girl, it did not seem right.
So! I figured, why not before
I judge Robert Pattinson
on his meal of choice,
try to make it myself
for you guys along for the ride?
Now before any of you
act like I am unqualified
to judge food, you may
recall I was a guest
judge one day on Chopped Junior.
I made a child cry when I sent her home.
- Unfortunately, we have to chop you.
(sad music)
- So I figure, who
better to try the recipe,
see if it sucks, than yours truly.
Okay so I went to the recipe
and I found all the
stuff that he calls for,
and apparently, like, I
had all of the things.
So if you're at home and you're like,
"Oh, what are recipes I
could make that are like
good for the quarantine, like what's good
and that's like unique and different,
because I've been eating
the same thing everyday?"
Well bitch, you might have
this shit in your cupboard,
if it's good, I'll let you know.
The very first thing
that the recipe calls for
is "a giant, filthy,
dust-covered box of cornflakes."
Apparently he went to
the grocery store looking
for bread crumbs but
they didn't have that so,
this'll do.
You're gonna need nine slices
of pre-cut sliced cheese.
I went with Kraft
singles, because glamour.
Okay so this is when it starts to
become a little bit unclear.
He says sauce.
That can mean a lot of different things.
I have sauces in this house.
I have every dipping sauce possible
from like a fast-food chain.
This could be anything.
I'm assuming because this is a pasta dish,
that we are going to go
with like a pasta sauce?
But if I were him and I was writing
the official recipe,
I would like, clarify.
You're gonna need like
a hand-held lighther.
Because apparently this is
like how you do a flambe.
I don't know what a flambe is,
but bitch, we're about to figure it out.
You're gonna need sugar,
hamburger buns, and aluminum foil.
And last, but not least,
you are going to need pasta.
Now to the untrained eye, a lot
of pastas are like the same.
Everyone thinks like oh,
pasta's pasta's pasta.
No bitch, he calls for a
very specific type of pasta.
And it kind of looks like a hair bun?
I am no pasta expert,
but like, what the fuck
is he talking about?
If anybody knows the pasta
that he's referencing,
please let me know in the comments below.
He didn't even know
what he was referencing.
The person he was talking
to at the interview
didn't know what he was referencing.
So he ended up just using penne.
Now imagine all of those things together.
Does that sound delicious?
We'll see.
Okay, first things
first, apparently you are
going to take a bowl, fill it with water,
and then add the pasta
to the bowl in the water,
and microwave it.
I feel like if the goal
is to cook the pasta,
shouldn't we cook it
how we know to cook it?
I have never in my life, not even once,
thought this was possible
for a way to cook pasta.
This is giving me like Easy Mac vibes
or like Ramen in like a little cup vibes
that you put in the microwave.
I don't think I've ever done like pasta
in a microwave, but I
filled this with water.
He didn't tell me how much water,
he didn't tell me how much pasta,
so we're just gonna eye it and that looks
like a delicious amount, party of one.
Yum.
So the recipe literally says put the bowl
of water and pasta in the
microwave for eight minutes.
I just feel, within my heart,
that that's not the thing
you should do.
We're gonna try it though.
Oh eight minutes.
I don't know if I've ever put anything
in the microwave for longer
than like 30 seconds.
So this is a little concerning to me.
I don't know what's going to happen.
We'll keep an eye on it.
Okay so while the pasta is cooking,
you're gonna take your
tin foil, which I guess,
is gonna be like a little
tray for your ingredients.
So that you can put them in
here and work on it in one spot.
So now you take the corn flakes.
I guess you just put it like this.
Girl! He is trolling us.
What the fuck am I up to?
Also I have to crunch them up.
We have two minutes
and forty seconds left.
I don't know if you can see inside.
It looks like the water is like bubbling,
which I guess, is like boiling water.
Also, am I supposed to be
this close to a microwave?
I have no clue.
I feel like this is how like
people are like radiation
or whatever.
We'll see.
Okay so next up you take
the sugar and, I guess,
you put it on the cornflakes.
It doesn't make sense,
and he doesn't tell me
how much, so I'm just gonna do that.
And then you take a slice
of cheese and put it
on whatever you've made so far?
So just from looking at
this, and knowing what
I've done so far, I honestly have no clue
what this is gonna taste like.
Is this gonna be sweet?
Is it gonna be savory?
Is the pasta gonna be cooked?
I don't quite understand.
So I don't even get the sugar situation.
But he says that he's tried
many different things out.
He says its to like help it congeal.
Does that mean like the cheese
and the crackers to congeal?
I don't know.
Oh, damn it.
It doesn't say how much,
so it could be that much.
I watch a lot of Food Network,
I don't think I've ever
seen a chef put sugar on cheese.
But he says so, so I'm gonna trust him.
So that's that.
I don't even know what we've made.
So this is gonna be like the bedding
and you put the pasta on top,
then but before you do that,
you need to add the sauce.
This can't be right.
This is literally what he said to do.
And that's it.
Now again, apparently
the pasta should be done.
It should be cooked.
Moment of truth.
That's hot, hot, hot, hot.
Actually, Oh my God, wait,
the pasta looks like it
could be kind of done.
Actually, they used to
be submerged in water.
The whole microwave is like flooded.
That's great.
We'll figure that out later.
But the pasta, it looks like done.
I'm not even gonna lie to you.
So I have to strain
this, but it doesn't look
like there's much to strain.
(guttural laugh)
The pasta does not look
that bad to be honest.
Like, it's stately cooked.
So then you'll take the pasta
and you just like pour
it on top as you see.
And then, of course,
another layer of sugar.
I'm not gonna use that much 'cause I just
don't get why you would
want this to be desserty.
You need the sugar to
congeal, he keeps saying.
So we're just gonna do
a really thin layer.
Good to go!
Then this looks already delicious, I know.
You're gonna take a bun
and you're gonna just
take this out, not quite
sure why, but he says so.
Delicious?
And then you put the
hollowed-out top on top
and then, that's it.
(laughing)
So this is really it, like at this point,
this is pretty much done,
but Robert says to take
a lighter and flambe it.
You know about flambe?
I don't actually know about flambe.
I feel like this should
be doing something.
Hello?
Also, if you don't know if
this is the type of lighter
we're supposed to be using on food.
I wanted to like put my initials on it,
but this is not,
(laughing)
I don't know if you're
supposed to do this.
I think I just burned something.
Is that on fire?
I tried to put my initials
on top but the thing
wasn't catching on fire.
I don't know if I'm doing it wrong.
I don't know if he did it wrong.
Now he says to put this in the microwave,
but you're not supposed to put metal
in the microwave, right?
It's making me question
everything that I once
think I thought I knew, but
I'm gonna put it in the oven.
'Cause I feel like the
microwave's not the move.
So I'm throwing this in the oven.
You're gonna set it for
ten minutes and hopefully,
lunch will be served.
Now according to the
interview, Robert Pattinson
met with a pasta expert and
concocted this exact recipe.
Apparently this is
called Piccolini Cuscino,
which means little pillow.
Time will tell if Robert
Pattinson should be feeding us.
Currently I'm a little concerned.
Well, ladies, the time has come.
Ten minutes have gone by and hopefully,
I don't know what gonna
happen in the oven,
but bitch, I'm hoping something delicious
has magically appeared.
We don't know.
So the first situation is the smell.
(wheezing laugh)
I don't know what I'm
smelling to be honest.
Ladies and gentlemen, what is it called?
Piccolini Cuscino.
Did the oven do anything I wonder?
I don't even know, it looks the same.
This looks like shit.
I need to have an open mind.
This is allegedly his masterpiece.
I followed the recipe
step-by-step, every little thing.
I even was a little bit
more careful and deliberate
than he was.
And if this is how it's
supposed to look, bitch,
I don't know.
(laughing)
The deeper I dive with
my spoon, the more I
remember the recipe.
I had forgotten that there
were corn flakes at the bottom,
for some reason, but here they are.
They have arrived.
Oh my God, this looks so fucking gross.
Cheers, Bon Apetit.
This is it.
Okay, I was ready for it to be wrong
in ten different ways,
it's really not that wrong.
There's a lot of sugar, my mouth feels
coated in sugar actually.
It did not melt how I
think he wanted it to.
But, it's kinda like a nice sweet kick to
like a cheesy pasta with
bread on it for some reason.
It's sloppy and it
doesn't make much sense,
but at least the pasta is kind of cooked,
like I didn't know you could
do that in the microwave.
Let me try this pasta.
The pasta works.
I don't know if you guys know this,
but Robert Pattinson fuckin
figured something out.
Now the cheese of it all,
maybe I shouldn't have
gone with Kraft, because
this is like some real
processed gross cheese.
That does not look good,
but,it's honestly not bad.
I wouldn't make this,
I wouldn't be inspired
to do this ever again.
I wouldn't serve it to
anybody that I love,
but like if I needed to consume something,
I guess it would do and
it's not gonna kill me.
Outta five stars, I would
give it a two stars for taste.
Well, we did it.
Robert Pattinson, thank you
so much for a delectable meal.
It truly delivered somethin.
Between this from Robert
Pattinson, and Gal Gadot
singin "Imagine," I feel
like maybe we need to
check on celebrities.
Are they doing okay?
I don't know.
Okay that is all I have
for you guys today.
If you like this video, be
sure to give it a thumbs up.
If there's other recipes
you think I should try
to make that maybe a
celebrity has decided is good,
I will be the judge.
Let me know what to make
in the comments below
and don't forget to subscribe.
New videos every Tuesday.
Okay that's all for today.
Have a good life, later.
