Shallot Pasta (Alison's Version) | Home Movies with Alison Roman
Caramelized Shallot Pasta, a pantry pasta that is better than the sum of its parts (although the parts are good, too). The two best pieces of advice I can give you while making this are to take the shallots to a more frizzled, caramelized place than you think (do not be afraid!), and please, whatever you do, do not skip the garlic/parsley topping. Re: the half of the shallot paste, save it for more pasta. Spread it onto buttered toast. Spoon it over scrambled eggs. Sautee your shrimp in it. Put it on an avocado. Give it as a gift. While I can technically say that the paste keeps for up to six weeks refrigerated, I can also say that I have kept my shallot paste refrigerated for up to two months and counting.

Would definitely buy Shallot Pasta University merch.
As someone who lives alone in a one-bedroom with a small kitchen, I love how convenient Alison's recipes are, since she has a similar sized kitchen. Congratulations on your move, but I hope you continue to keep your recipes simple and small-kitchen-friendly, which is one the main selling points of your recipes.
Always and forever!! Promise!

This is the best video ever? Raise your hands if you cried along with Alison. Ps: the Taylor swift bit is everything
can you explain the Taylor bit? did she cook the shallot pasta and talked about it or what happened?
TS is re-recording all her songs as “Taylor’s version” so she owns it. So I think Allison means she’s recording shallot pasta as her own video not the NYT video.
I about died when the video cut off right before you were going to show us what's in your closet!!! THE TEASE
AAAAACCCCKKKKK!!!! I have to know what is in there!!
It was akin to the end of the series finale of the Sopranos. I thought my internet died.
I WAS HOLDING MY BREATH!!!🤣
I know right! So rude 😂
the cliffhanger for season 2 of Home Movies
Seeing Alison feed her friends Thanksgiving and Passover meals from this tiny kitchen taught me that I can also do anything
Pppppp

Can I miss a flat I’ve never lived in? Cuz that’s definitely the case right now…❤️
I (as a vegetarian) when I make this i use very finely chopped kalamata olives instead of anchovies and i looove it
Thanks for this, great idea x
Oooh this is a great idea! I use umeboshi paste, which is also very yummy :)
Dang, that ending was cold.
There’s something so endearing, captivating, authentic, and entertaining about the way you talk/teach. Love having your videos in the background while I’m cooking!
I have these videos on in the background while I'm cooking even when I'm not cooking the dish she's making.
Omg...me too!
Totally agree!
Moving apartments can definitely leave you feeling wrecked. It's not just the walls and the floors and the decorations, it's that they demarcate times of your life that likely contain a potent mix of emotions, which all come back when you are saying goodbye. Hello emotions! Congrats to you Alison for weathering the storm and still making this last beautiful farewell video! I will miss this apartment but am excited to see the new one : )
She moving, not having a kid, chill.
@@Joseph1NJ There’s really no need to be a jerk. Relax
@@meggsandbacon8108 no need to name call, you're overreacting
I really appreciate how doable your recipes are for the average person. Like my kitchen is probably even smaller than yours (though an upgrade from my first efficiency, which didn’t have a kitchen so it was just me in a 100sqft bedroom with a sink, mini-fridge, toaster oven on the floor w/a single burner hot plate on top of that), and I think it’s the most realistic way to develop recipes that normal people can make. Like most of us don’t have super elaborate commercial kitchens to work with and I appreciate that I can always make your recipes :)
I totally agree!! And thank you so much ❤️🙏
Agree!! That’s one thing that was hard about Bon appetit even though I loved their content and recipes, they often involved crazy utensils that I do not have, or they involved lots of moving pieces that you needed different worktops for which the average person doesn’t have. I think that’s why alisons videos appeal to the average person, aside from her humour and fun personality, her recipes truly are simple, healthy and delicious ❤️
I hope whoever moves into this apartment next appreciates the history behind this iconic kitchen!!
So happy that you get to move to another apartment (and get a freezer that shuts and a dishwasher)! I will miss seeing your cute sunny little kitchen, but I'm still so happy you are getting an upgrade. You deserve it ❤
You can't show us that sweatshirt and then tell us it's the only one in existence. I need one! Shallot pasta merch for days.
You want the sweatshirt, I want the black stone ring that she is wearing lol :)
I NEED that sweatshirt.
I agree - shallot pasta sweatshirts and turmeric tea towels.
@@seamstressdragon8707 I have a giant crush on that ring. I can only imagine that it's probably pretty expensive.
@@danirindfleisch8784 oh the tea towels are a really good idea, thank you lol
A nice farewell to this iconic apartment, can’t wait to see what is next in your new place!
It's canon now. We're all Alison's friends.
👍🤭🙏💝🐈🖐
Speak for yourself I’m her dad
WE ARE!! 💗💕❤️💗
@@rollercoaster24 Can the real Mr. Roman please stand up?
@@rollercoaster24 YIKES
We’re all emotional besties. Congrats on your new place!!
Can’t wait to have you ALL over 😭
Also like the fact that she is moving from this apartment and she is NOT telling us what is inside that small, tall closet is amazing to me i know that’s where you keep all of your ex boyfriends just admit it now Alison haha!
I KNOW I'm so desperate to see what's inside of it and now we'll never know!
I'd be great for spices
It’s like the end of the Sopranos
Probably an ironing board or a fold-out rack for drying clothes.
She told us when she was still with the NYT. It’s beans
I was in the yard yesterday and there were just a few ripe raspberries on the bush so I ate them and said “chef’s treat!....gardener’s treat!”
It’s the The Sopranos inspired ending for me. 😂
I have made this shallot pasta SO, SO MANY TIMES last year and of course this year you have no idea! It has been one menu or dish that has been saving me during lockdown especially. Thank you, you have made me, a person who used to hate shallots, eating shallot pasta literally to a point every single day for almost one month during lockdown. And yes i do wear contacts lenses and yes i purposely ONLY peel those shallots whenever i’m wearing my contacts lolol.
Wearing my contacts while chopping any onion make a WORLD of difference.
@@emmaengland2726 I need contacts just to make this dish!
"cuz you know what, accuracy is fun" ; is the most virgo thing Allison has ever said
But Alison, WHAT WAS IN THE DANG CLOSET? I can't believe you Sopranos'd us at the end like that! (Actually I can believe and total respect 🤛)
My best friend sent me your shallot pasta recipe, hoping I would cook it for her. That's how I discovered you, Alison. It is indeed an iconic recipe.
Awww, I relate so much to this kitchen. I live in a studio apartment with a tiny efficiency oven, no dish washer, and a fridge form 1983. I guess, I too, am a tiny little grape. Go forth and thrive Grape Sis!!!
When I ask myself what I’m cooking for, I like to think it’s for justice. I can’t think of one single person that deserves an upgrade more than this one. Talk about making it work. Interesting to see what she’ll be able to pull off in the new space.
Someone recommended this in the previous video and it worked, so, here's for the people who re seeing this for the first time; you can make this vegan/vegetarian by replacing anchovies with miso paste
I get that an anchovy has a mother and father so you can’t eat it because you wouldn’t be vegan.
Thank you for this suggestion! I was trying to think of a good substitution, even though she said just leave it out it might feel like something is missing. 😊👍
I use sun dried tomatoes, finely chopped. Similar concept.
@EField219 I've never had a sense that substitutions were a problem for Alison.
Considering a big move right now, and watching Allison make a dish I’ve made so many times for so many friends gave me the feels. Cuteness overload.
You can't do that to us with the closest 😖 I have been waiting since you started cooking in that kitchen for you to tell us one day😭
Not only is Alison’s food amazing (LOVE her obsession with anchovies), she is laugh out loud hilarious. I find myself cracking up every time I watch a video. She does a great job of explaining everything she does in a way that anyone can understand. I just love these videos.
This recipe is EVERYTHING. Love your channel, thank you for bringing so much joy into the kitchen!! Your vibe is magic.
That sentimental feeling when moving is so so so relatable. Thank you for the amazing “first season” of Home Movies.
I just tried this recipe. My husband and picky children LOVED it. It was so amazing!!! I’m buying your cook book now!!!
Oh Alison, I love this pasta and have made it so many times! Thanks for bringing it back out. I could watch you cook any of your dishes over and over. The Stew 2019…sigh, don’t even get me started, my fave.
The marks on your hand and arm are the signs of a hardworking, bad ass, insightful chef🙋🏾♀️
This was THE dish that made me love anchovies. I’m serious. Also, cooking this with you helped me feel less lonely during quarantine and I want to genuinely thank you for both helping me stay sane during a very difficult time in my life and expanding my umami repertoire ❤
Tuesday were my off day usually. So your videos are literally special to me. I love cooking, especially your recipes❣️ Thank you for give me that joyfull moments where I could spend my days without worrying other milion things.
This was the first recipe i memorized and it’s so near and dear to my heart!
End of an era but a start of a new one. Who knew you were gonna be a 100k youtube channel when I first watched your shallot pasta video last year or so. Congrats, you deserve it!!!
This one of my favorite recipes that I have gotten off of KZhead. So easy to make and turns around quick meals. It is a god send for me in the summer when my whole kitchen is an oven so I spend minimal time at the stove.
I'm the cook for our family of four and this has been my go-to meal for the whole pandemic. We all thank you so much (but especially me because it's so simple and delicious and doesn't make a ton of dishes to wash).
I just wanted to come back here and say that I made this for dinner tonight. Probably one of the best pastas I’ve ever tried. So good!
Love this recipe. This one time I didn’t have anchovies so I used miso paste. Perfect vegan version :)
I’m honored to be your friend. Looking forward to your new home. You are a great and fun cook and you made this past difficult year very bearable.
I just made this pasta again last week. It is one of my all time favorite dishes. Thank you thank you thank you. And I can totally relate to the mixed feelings about moving. Wishing you well in your new place.
It’s so true that everyone that’s watching these feels like your our friend 😅 even tho I live in ireland I’m hoping I’ll bump into you next time I visit New York! There’s such comfort and fun in watching your videos and cooking your food from a news letter or nothing fancy (best cook book ever?!) Youve taught me so much, but most importantly - slap on them gold hoops and you’re good to go 😂❤️
Alison’s Version is a splendid & subtle shade
Thank you for all the great recipes! I had an apartment so similar to this in the 70s with the kitchen set up almost exactly like yours, but without the island. I had a 1950s refrigerator that I had to thaw out regularly. I will miss your little apartment as it was so you! I hope the next place will be just as charming. Can’t wait to see your next video! Good luck!
I love all the support you received from the crew at around 1:17 - glad they could be there for you.
i make this recipe with my sister whenever she comes home from college. even my parents who don't really like pasta eat it. thank you for adding this amazing recipe to our lives!
Can’t wait to cook this and can’t wait to see the new apartment! Love my Allclad stainless cookware!
This inspired me to make it again! Thank you for making cooking in small spaces so accessible. I hope that never changes. Good luck on your move. ❤️
I just randomly came across this channel and I immediately subscribed it because I love hearing her talk.
I’m watching and I’m a friend!! I’m already feeling nostalgic about this place while listening to Folklore on repeat. I’m sad we didn’t get an apartment or kitchen tour before the move. I’m going to miss it so much 🥺
ALISON I CRIED TOO. Your little apartment that you’ve out grown helped you grow. Thanks for making these. Thanks for being you and making everything LITERALLY EVERYTHING your version. It’s what I do. I love to do my versions. It’s the only way. And I am your friend. Leafy. Spriggy. Coarse. For ever.
Loved this, and, having left a similarly special studio in Jackson Heights last year, I totally get TERROIR - there is an essence, a life, a history everywhere. Even in the dust. Even in what you hated. So onward! Best to you. x
Small Kitchen, Big Thanksgiving was my first Alison Roman video on YT. You inspired me to better appreciate my condo kitchen. Thank you Alison and your kitchen, you inspired and encouraged me. Lockdown in Toronto, Canada + Alison + condo kitchen made for a great 2020-2021.
THE TITLEEEEEE omg better than love story and you belong with me combined
Hey friend!! I remember watching the Thanksgiving video maybe 3 years ago and was hooked. Because of you Alison, I throw tasty meals together without worry. I could always cook great meals, but now I take them to another level (who would've thought I'd cook with wine 🍷) yeah I know people have been cooking with wine for ages, but you made it approachable for me. Thank you for being a cooking inspiration and for keeping it simple 🙌 good luck with the move, hope to see more videos in the future!
Since the start of the pandemic, cooking has become something I've really become invested in and enjoy, and I think it's no exaggeration to trace the start of it to making this shallot pasta last spring. It was one of the first things I made that really felt magical, for lack of a better term - a real dish that was more than the sum of its parts. It felt like alchemy, is maybe the better term for it, and it still impresses and surprises people when they find out that it's mostly shallots, anchovies and tomato paste. I've since made many more of Alison's recipes and bought Nothing Fancy and also cooked tons of stuff on the smoker I bought and being on this journey of learning and making good food has been truly rewarding both for me and my family over what's been an often rough 15 months. So thanks. I will keep watching.
This really really made me want to cook. You have a way with words! Thanks for the inspiration, I can't wait to move into my own place and enjoy the majic of shallot pasta 🍝
Alison with a nod to The Sopranos, well played
Literally my favorite!!!! This recipe is what got me to follow you.
wow sounds really tasty then
I have really enjoyed watching you cook in your small apartment. It has related to me so much as I also live in a small apartment, I can’t wait to see your new place and what delicious food will cook for us. Totally has to be a party favourite.
I am always excited to see your videos!
Wishing you all the best with your move. Loved watching you cook in this modest kitchen but look forward to watching whatever is next.
Hey Alison, I only started following you during thanksgiving. I used your mashed potato and gratin recipe. delicious. then I did your Latkes. And now I just finished this shallot pasta.. and I'm sitting here in awe. It's freaking good. You're my new go to for recipes. Thanks and I can't wait for more!
I just made this yesterday and had leftovers of it today - absolutely love this recipe and the original video.
you are so effortlessly entertaining. thanks for sharing these home movies with us! excited to see your new apartment kitchen.
I need that sweater for a Father’s Day gift for my husband! We are obsessed with you and your cooking in our household (even my 5 year old)- what could be more fitting!! sell them ☺️😌
This recipe is everything, I think I've made it 100 times (and will make it a million more). I've played around with varying quantities of capers, miso, and Marmite as vegan subs for the anchovies, all work well. And I'm living for the Taylor reference - they've got your past frozen behind glass, but you've got you!
I still come back and watch this, although the programme has obviously moved on. I love this little kitchen and all the happy times implied in the videos made there. The friends and family who've gathered there, the challenges of squeezing them in, relationships that came and went and those that stuck, the jokes and ribbing and laughs, the culinary feasts, the flops and tough days, and getting the freezer to shut when not another stick of butter would fit -- but somehow it did. It's authentic, charming, unique. Just like Alison.
That ending was absolute gold and I laughed out loud. We will miss your apartment, too!! We are your friends. Can’t wait to see what the next place brings!
Wife and I make this all the time. Love it.
ughhh i love how thoughtful the recipes are, to make sure the whole can of tomato paste is used, etc.
I would have lost it at the Thanksgiving video, but I've made this pasta and it's amazing. Thank you Alison.
This kitchen photographs well with your videos. Nice bright window and cozy. Congrats on your new one and more videos.
LOVE all of it! Also, LOVE your shorts!!!
Jumped on the bandwagon a bit late, but this pasta is oh so worth chopping a mountain of shallots for. Made it a bit fancy by using a can of the precious Spanish anchovies I bought while on holiday. Takes me right back 😊 thanks Alison for this delicious and simple recipe!
I love that the recipe is printed on the back!!
You're the best, thank you for all your amazing recipes!
I will miss this kitchen! It always made me feel motivated to cook because I have a small kitchen too and very little countertop space.
This really is an amazing pasta dish. Thank you for sharing it!
😹😹The mystery closet!!! You’re hilarious! I could watch your videos all day every day!
I make this weekly. It's the BEST!! I follow the recipe as written and never go wrong. I save the other half for the following week. My grandson makes it also, but he uses the ENTIRE recipe on a lb. of pasta. Plus, I do add a sprinkle of parmesan!! DELISH!!
This dish is so perfect, so easy and absolutely delish. I have made it over and over and over again! Amazing!! The parsley garlic topping is the best!
The most underrated part!!
Truly thank you for all these amazing vidss! Can't wait to see where you go next 🤗
omg, I actually loved that kitchen and all the challenges you face living there. I absolutely agree about the charm of living in the old apartment, but hey, happy for you. Love you and all what you do
NO!!! You promised!! How dare you leave that apartment on a cliffhanger!! Love you girl! Can’t wait to see your new place! Big love!!
Well, I am definitely going to make this pasta/not-sauce for the first time and hope that it conjures the terroir of your old joint. I loved it and all the charm of it. Reminded me of my 20's. Thank you, dear Alison, and crew, for all your charm. If you make it to Japan, I'll cook for you.
Still one of my favorite pasta dishes ever!
Oh wow. I love your little kitchen but happy for your changes. You're my fav💗 I'm gonna go nuts on this recipe..
Have made this pasta so frequently, without anchovies (sorry!), and with ALL of the sauce, not half. LOVE LOVE LOVE. And TS made this too??? Wow.
loved making this pasta!!!! can't wait for what's to come!! good luck with the move!!
already love it based on the title!!!
Honestly such a fan girl here! Love this pasta and all your videos!!! 🎉
All the best with next steps, Alison! The montage is hilarious.
Another great video! Congrats on the move and can’t wait for the next series of vids!
Watching you cook is so relaxing to me. It shows me, once again, that cooking is all about having fun and loving food. Thank you for every recipe you shared with us - especially this one, I just love it! Congrats on the new apartment, can't wait to see and try all the delicious recipes. :)
Coming back from a LONG appointment at the CA DMV to a new Home Movie was the highlight of my day and my boyfriend's. The worst part of our day was the Soprano ending on the tiny closet! But love you Allison, we are making the little crispy eggplant parm tonight for the 4th time this month.
I so appreciate the use of the entire can of tomato paste! You wonderful, wonderful human!
