Most people are inclined to dump all of the water in the pasta in the colander in the sink.

大部分的人喜歡將義大利麵的水用濾盆濾掉至水槽中。

Don't throw away the starchy water.

不要把充滿澱粉的水倒掉！

You gonna want to save that water because that's gonna come in handy later.

保存煮麵的水，因為它等下會派上用場。

Rinsing out with cold water is also wrong.

用冷水沖洗義大利麵也是錯的。

It gets rid of all the starch and you need the starch because it's gonna give you a silky mouthfeel.

冷水會把義大利麵上的澱粉沖掉，而你需要澱粉，因為它可以帶給你柔順的口感。

I see too many people cook their pasta, put in the colander, and then they start working on their sauce and let the pasta gets cold and sticky.

我看見很多人煮完義大利麵後把它倒入濾鍋，接著就開始準備醬汁，讓義大利麵在一旁變得又冷又黏。

Don't dump the sauce on top of the sticky lukewarm pasta on the plate.

不要把醬汁淋在盤子中黏在一起且已經變溫的義大利麵上頭。

That's just wrong.

這是錯的！

Now I'm gonna show you the right way to sauce your pasta.

現在我要示範正確的義大利麵調味方法。

Take the hot pasta out of the pasta water, and put it inside the pot with the hot sauce.

把滾燙的義大利麵從水中撈出，放入一鍋熱的醬料裡。

And we're gonna cook it together like a minute, that way the pasta can absorb some of the sauce.

然後把麵跟醬料一起煮約一分鐘，這樣義大利麵可以吸收一些醬汁。

And it's just gonna become this great tasting stew together.

最後你會得到一鍋美味的燉煮義大利麵。

Now you didn't dump the pasta water down the sink.

因為沒有把義大利麵水倒入水槽。

We still have a little bit starchy water.

所以我們仍有一些澱粉水。

And we're gonna add some of that water to the sauce to help me give it that shiny yummy flavor.

我們要加一些澱粉水到醬汁中，讓醬汁變得有光澤且美味。

After the pasta and the sauce are cooked together for like a minute, we're gonna turn the heat off.

在義大利麵跟醬汁一起煮約一分鐘後，將火關掉。

And we're gonna finish with a little bit of butter, a little bit of olive oil, a little bit of cheese.

最後再加一點奶油、一點橄欖油，還有一點起司做結尾。

It's what the Italians call "Mantecato", which means to cream or to make really smooth.

這個動作叫做 「Mantecato」 ，代表加奶油或是讓東西變得很滑順。

If you're gonna add fresh herbs, it's always best to put them at the end.

如果你想要加新鮮的草本植物，最佳的時機就是在最後放入！

And mix it inside the pasta, instead of sprinkling on top.

然後把它拌入義大利麵中，而不是撒在上面。

If you've done all these things right, you've got a great plate of pasta.

如果你這些事全都做對了，那麼你就會做出一盤非常棒的義大利麵。
