2 pasta recipes in 1 video!

in this “how to…” series video, Chef Michael Kerner shows us how to make cacio e pepe and a mushroom espuma gnocchi from scratch! Chef Kerner was most recently the CDC at Pasta | Bar (1 Star) in LA, prior to that he was at SingleThread Farms (3 Stars), and Kali (1 Star).

Yes, we know that this cacio e pepe is far from traditional, but the point of this video is that even chefs in the best restaurants in the world don’t follow tradition (look at Luciano Monosilio, one of the most well regarded italian chefs, he uses starches in his pasta sauces).

my intention – i hope y’all just take away some new techniques from this video. Chef Michael has a plethora of culinary knowledge, and it’s been a pleasure to ask him questions and have him teach me new techniques.

let us know if there’s specific dishes you’d like us to make! we’re thinking of some more vids 🙂 and hope this was a fun interruption to the vlog series 🙂
