    As someone who struggles with their carb intake and is studying biochemistry, this video was not only super enjoyable to watch, but so informative! Awesome video 🥰
  • @Locke-mf6sf
    The implication that mat pat can single handedly tank Olive Garden stocks is such a mood
  • I worked at Olive Garden for 6 months and that beginning bit was a perfect representation of my worst nightmare 😂
  • @chriscrooks3482
    As some one who worked at the olive garden, I can say rest assured your pasta is reheated every time you order it. The cooks go in early in the morning boil there pasta for the day. Weigh it bag it and when it's ordered it's reheated. Enjoy!
  • It was such a relief to learn that we don't need to eat cold pasta to be healthy. Cold pasta always tastes exactly like sadness.
  • I used to work at Olive Garden. All of the pasta you're eating there is cooked, chilled and reheated before service (except in rare cases when they run out of ready pasta and have to make more on the fly). This protocol is pretty commonplace in restaurants, actually.
  • @phoenixdowner
    Pasta is supposed to be shocked in ice water anyways to prevent the pasta from continuing to cook after being removed from the stove. As such, it’s the sauce that you add to the pasta that should be served hot with cold noodles. Hopefully, this will slot well into the idea that reheating pasta will increase the resistive starches.

    My dad used to always make cold spaghetti. Olive oil, dill, feta cheese, kalamatas, squeeze of lemon, Chopped parsley. Probably my favorite way of making it.
  • Me : oh new food theory on pasta “as I sit down to eat my lunch for reheated spaghetti” Me afterwards: I’m eating healthy today
  • My dad told me about reheating things like potatoes makes the carbs healthier just like what you said about pasta
  • @unlimitedfunlol
    That’s actually awesome, because with my ADHD, and being a life long pasta fiend, most of the last ten years I’ve been making extra pasta to have leftover the next few days, either chilled or reheated. Woo hoo :)
  • @fishplays1364
    Wait a minute you love olive garden so much.... Is this why your son's name is OLIVER?!!?!?!
  • @abooie
    My daughter is a type 1 diabetic. We always reheat her pasta because it helps to stop the spikes that just heated pasta does. It's nice to know this is the reason why it works :)
  • @pattycakes026
    Im so happy i found this channel! My wife has hypoglycemia and now we know when she is feeling low she can just cook and eat hot pasta you're a life-saver MatPat!
  • @scottgluck2953
    Okay, so former OG employee here. Olive Garden actually already reheats the pasta in store as well. Part of the prep is to cook and then chill the pasta so it can be quickly reheated and served. So uh... you're already getting some of the benefits of this eating at OG. XD
  • Fun fact for people who aren't aware: most chain restaurants like Olive Garden and Corner Bakery actually already do this to their pasta. It is generally prepped in large quantities prior to lunch and dinner rushes and then stored chilled for longevity, then reheated before it is served. So they are actually already serving you healthier to eat pasta!
