I mean, baked ziti is a perfect tailgating food. Streets taught me this recipe.
What's going on, everybody? This is your boy Action Bronson, Doctor Baklava.
Welcome to The Hurry Up Kitchen, presented by Amazon Prime Video.
A simple tomato sauce and a simple pasta with cheese, sort of like an Italian macaroni and cheese, aka baked ziti, but just kicked up to notches unknown.
Shouts to my man, Emeril.
You know, with some Calabrian chilies.
We have the parmigiano reggiano of the red cow.
Just these little special things to say "I love you!" to yourself.
Get yourself a really good pasta.
We have some scamorza, which is a slightly aged mozzarella that just gives it a little bit of funk, as well as the east coast staple, the Polly-O whole milk mozzarella cheese.
This is the freshest oil that you could have until March. Jaén Spain, what a wonderful producer!
Garlic, black pepper, salt. Specifically from Sicily, then the finishing salt.
Right now we're just grading this beautiful scamorza, you know.
This is gonna add a little bit of funk, a little bit of depth.
One of those cheeses that melts really well.
The God of cheeses.
Perfect for melting.
Just working with cheese gets me crazy.
You want the bottom of the pan nice.
There's, like a little pool in there, like a little baby pond.
Get a nice sizzle.
Come on, sizzle, man. Sizzle
We got these beautiful tomatoes that are pureed.
You want to stir the pasta once you put it in for a couple of seconds, just so you make sure it doesn't stick.
You see how that garlic is getting brown?
I love brown garlic—not burnt, brown.
Kick it up nice and spiced, so it's gonna give it that little whoa, whoa, whoa.
Just be careful when you put the tomatoes into the oil because it will pop a little bit.
Just be careful. Keep that in mind.
Game day food is literally up in the air. You can make whatever.
I like to be—I like to come unorthodox with it. I don't like to do the same thing all the time.
This is something that, you know, like a grandmother would make.
Making pasta is something that I enjoy doing it.
I don't need to waste. Pasta goes directly into the sauce.
More black pepper to my liking, for sure.
Some more parmigiano from the bacarossa.
I like it cheesy. I like it crunchy cheesy.
Right into the Pyrex.
Get to start it with more cheese.
You see how I'm technique-ing it right here where I'm laying this cheese on the outer edge?
Yeah, I'm not stopping. I'm not stopping until the cheese is done.
It's like I'm doing squats.
I'm—I'm being shredded right now.
It's my quads. My quads are on fire right now!
I'm back. Now, we go directly into the 450 degree convection oven.
Let's leave it that way so we could see it.
Good thing we had that splash guard on the bottom.
You see? That's why you have that on the bottom.
Don't worry about a little smoke. What did it do to you?
Look at that.
I mean, the basil is basil. It's a herb. It's a beautiful thing.
It's a classic NFC West matchup.
49ers have been amazing for years.
What I expect? I expect... I expect high velocity, explosive plays.
Look at that. Uh.
Right here I just like to finish it with some of that oil, you know.
Well I mean, to be honest with you, I love Richard Sherman, but D-Hop's out of his league.
I love you, Richard Sherman, but D-Hop is on another level of man from lots of people.
That's ridiculous. Get up in there.
