Making Pasta In A Parmesan Cheese wheel
Cheese wheel pasta has constantly been featured across the internet, so I finally had to give it a try. So, we shipped an 80 pound parmesan cheese wheel straight from Italy. The first trip, it was damaged in transit. I don't know exactly what that means...did it roll off the truck? Did somebody "accidentally" damage it so they could eat it? I mean, who doesn't want some fresh Parmigiano Reggiano. But it really does make me think. Hmm...
But the second trip, it made it all the way to my kitchen in Boston. After learning the delicate yet demanding process of opening the cheese wheel, we dug out a "bowl" within the cheese, lit it on fire to get a cheesy sauce, then added our fresh, homemade egg pasta to with some garlic cream sauce and blended it together. The result? Indescribable.
Homemade Pasta
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 eggs + 4 yolks
Cream Sauce
1/2 cup butter
4-6 cloves garlic
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups heavy cream
grated parmesan until thickened sauce

hi
Please pin!!
that man sounded like kermit the frog (no offense)
She is a beaut! And endless yummy cheese dishes 😋 my college dining hall had an even bigger one
what did you do with the rest of the cheese
I love how Nick gives us instructions like we’re actually gonna try do it. Edit: I think I may have just accidentally started WW3 in the reply section, and yes I have changed my name from Duck to Supreme Dog
one day
Nup. One night In dream
Lol
It’s for the more luxury viewers big man
my family owns a cheese factory i will be trying this just way smaller
My dad as a true italian used to buy once a year a big wheel of parmesan cheese from Parma . It's is the best cheese you ever have in your life. He will cut on wedges and freeze mostly all of it. He was a elegant man that loved the good life.
That's a nice life
@@5000okok I am not italian or had a Parmesan wheel. But hard cheeses freezes the best (with minimal loss of flavor). Like old Cheddar or Parmesan is good to freeze :)
Freezing a cheese denatures the protein enzymes
ikr i have parmesan every day bc here everyone has it
Bruh that sounds heavenly. I real want to go to Italy one day.
My mum buys one of these wheels every year and we love to help eachother open it, my strength and her sight to guide it makes the perfect team. it's the highlight of my year
what a waste of money
@@raspberrycoke3it there choice to buy it so shut the fuck up
@@raspberrycoke3 not really, we're a family of eight and we love cheese. it's worth it to us
I love cheese though but if we’re to ask my parents for some they would look to see how much it is and be like THATS 1,500$! YOU THINK WE ARE GONNA F###### GET THAT?! NO THATS WAY TOO MUCH FOR CHEESE!
@@kylieberry8909that is heavy
I love how he tells us how to do it even though none of us are gonna buy a cheese wheel
I made the pasta and it was a 9.5/10 food delicious but I didn’t buy the cheese Weel
Let me dream
Buying a whole wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano is a bigger flex than flexing a mansion and 3 fancy cars Edit: some of y’all don’t get that it’s a joke bruh moment
No cap that’s cool
no, unless you are flexing in front of rodents
One wheel costs about $1,000 if anyone wants to know
Well Zach Choi ASMR did that too and it was first no hate on nick he's one of my favourite chefs on youtube but my favourite asmr channel is definitely zach choi

There are smaller wheels you can buy, smaller diameter same thickness and some others.

ong me too
As an Italian, the fact that we italians have big slices of original fresh parmigiano reggiano in the fridge department in the stores still blows my mind
Vero, per noi è normale avercelo in frigo o al supermercato, mentre nick ha dovuto aspettarlo per mesi, è incredibile la nostra fortuna 🇮🇹🇮🇹
Ok???
You’re so lucky for that

I've actually ate this before the restaurant and it is literally one of the best pasta I've ever had it is so good so I definitely recommend maybe not make it yourself but if it's on a menu it's really good it's worth it but it is a little bit pricey but it's really good❤

My dad always says that the water the pasta is in should be as salty as the Mediterranean sea. I still have no idea how salty that is
ever swam in the ocean ... that salty ... better yet ... grab a pot of ocean water and youre good to go ... great for seashore lobster boils too ;)
Salty

“I’ve never tasted cheese this fresh” Cheese: matured for 24 months
For this kind of cheese, fresh is when you eat it the time it was first opened. It will not have the same taste if you eat it after storing the opened cheese

Nick: buys an incredibly expensive cheese wheel and has it flown in from Italy. Also Nick: puts a hamster on the cheese.
It’s not a hamster it’s pesto
Mmmm hamster is vegetarian. Rat on the other hand more omnivore
Thank you, Holly MacCharles. I agree with you and the comment you decided to post. Thank you!
it's not just a hamster, it's pesto.
@@raynalldoprime ??? Hamsters can eat mealworms as long as they're dried.
"The Italians don't mess with their cheese" Somehow I can portray a cheese as trading good in mafia circle.
hi
Mafia families usually had their own production facilities for cheese wheels and they were regularly attacked because the wheels are expensive.
“Hey tony” “Yeah boss” “The Moochianies didn’t give us their cheese y’know what to do” *gun clicks “Yes boss”
Fun fact : sometimes they did barter the cheese, of course not normal cheese but special and expensive cheese like those blue mold cheese
Fun fact: During the Italian recession the cheesemakers paid for their loan to the banks in cheese wheels, which were even stored in the bank vaults.
Now that's what I call pasta. My mouth is watering right now.
This is a memory that pesto will never forget lol.
"just listen to the sound of that pasta" *smirks at the camera* THIS MAN IS A MENACE 💀💀💀
i think i heard that sound before
I need to be stopped.
