The Internet Is Going Bonkers For This Video In Which A Woman Shares Her “Ultimate Spaghetti Trick”

ADVERTISEMENT

Everyone has their own method of cooking: some like following the recipe exactly as it’s written, others allow themselves to improvise. Those improvisations can end up being epic fails or can lead to discovering something genius, or it’s just what they thought.

A woman on Facebook shared her hack on how to quickly prepare spaghetti for a crowd of people, stating it’s the ultimate hack, but the internet thinks otherwise. The hack includes putting all the ingredients on the table, which don’t look that good either, and people are disgusted.

More info: Facebook

Woman shared her method of preparing spaghetti for a crowd quickly by putting all the ingredients on the countertop

The video was posted by an account on Facebook named Josh and Lisa on April 22 and now has 25 million views. This Facebook page is full of cooking and prank videos and occasionally some personal content. The prank videos always have a disclaimer, “Please note that this page features scripted dramas, PARODY HACKS, parody and satire.” Which allows us to assume that the cooking videos are also parodies—well, at least, that’s what everyone would hope.

Other cooking videos by Josh and Lisa include various recipes for the waffle maker that are not waffles, others spread on the countertop, and non-conventional food combinations.

She said that this method is great because it doesn’t leave a mess and you don’t need to do the dishes after

In this particular video of preparing spaghetti with meatballs, Lisa says that she has all her friends coming and the method she is using is the quickest for making spaghetti for a crowd. Then she takes a tub of sauce and just pours it on the countertop.

As she is doing that, she comments, “It’s fun. It’s all just right in front of you. You don’t need to worry about the dishes or a mess, or anything like that,” which didn’t go unnoticed. People were pointing out that there’s definitely a mess and if the countertop is made of real marble, it could get stained from the sauce, and stains are not easy to get rid of. Furthermore, it’s not hygienic as countertops are porous and can hold bacteria.

Lisa then proceeds to put the meatballs in the sauce, saying she does this all the time, because it’s the fastest way to feed a lot of people and who wouldn’t want to lessen the time spent in the kitchen, right? Don’t forget to put a mountain of cheese, which also got people concerned about why it’s from a plastic jar.

The main ingredient of the dish is, of course, spaghetti, which Lisa takes out of the pot with her hands. If you get a close look at the spaghetti, it seems like the noodles have been overcooked and are sticking together, which for any Italian watching, could make their heart stop as cooking pasta is an art form of its own for them.

Lisa says that she does this all the time and that it’s the Italian way of preparing spaghetti and meatballs

The last step to this monstrosity is to mix it all up. When asked by the person filming where she got this idea from, Lisa answers, “Well, I’m Italian and real Italians—this is how you make spaghetti.” People did not react well to this and were saying that they weren’t Italian, but felt offended by this. Also, as many pointed out, spaghetti and meatballs aren’t even an Italian dish.

For finishing touches Lisa puts some salad on the side and puts some dressing on it

As mentioned previously, this account posts prank videos in which they put disclaimers that the page includes staged scripts and hack parodies. It is not mentioned that this video in particular is a parody, but it does resemble a trend that was going on on TikTok earlier this year when people were making nachos in a similar way, pouring everything on the table.

So, given the nature of other videos that Josh and Lisa post, it is possible that this way of preparing spaghetti is just a joke meant to show off how ridiculous the TikTok trend was. It could be that the spaghetti were overcooked on purpose and the Prego sauce that exasperated so many commentators was also just to add to the absurdity.

Here is the viral video if you would like to look at the trick in action

People couldn’t get over the fact that it was all done on the countertop and were saying they would never eat it

Everyone agrees, this is a terrible way to present food... But also, is anyone else a bit confused when someone heats the contents of a jar and calls it 'cooking'? Pasta sauce should be SO much more than this!

There is nothing authentic or Italian about pouring uncooked prego on a countertop. This is so bizarre and disgusting. Are they high? Did they just eat shrooms or something? I'm not sure who is more strange, the one doing it or the one filming that seems to be in complete awe of everything.

Okay so I have actually been in Italy and you can tell that this is a fake. She talks as if it’s new, the rest of her kitchen is clean and tidy and Italians don’t eat like that. For 3 years I lived there and I have eaten at ppl houses and this so fake and so unhygienic. If that’s actually how her family eats if they would be dead cause of bacteria.

She's using sauce from a damn jar. Besides, it doesn't matter how clean the counter looks, it is a breeding ground for germs/microbes/etc. Souce: I'm a chef. This is just no. No in every way.

How do I know its a parody? Because of the shitty salad dressing. An Italian would make a simple olive oil and vinegar dressing. To me that was the real 'tell'. Even more than the Prego sauce, btw.

The usual video about someone that like to cook awfully in order to make more views. It was funny to see this post..until she mentioned that "this is the way Italians do it". No way, I want to clarify it for the people that didn't read accurately the post or don't know. Apart from the antigenic surface, the fake parmesan and the salad, that is obviously far from the way we cook. Like the post mentioned, rightly, spaghetti and meatballs is an Italo-American dish, not an Italian one. In fact I think that most Italians have seen that dish for the first time in "Lady and the Tramp". For what I have read their account is plenty of parody and pranks, so I'm quite sure this is just another video to make easy views "offending" cuisine and expecially Italian one (yes, we are quite touchy when someone disrespect our food). For me, I just hope that people don't take these "informations" seriously.

What a waste of food just for a prank video...(As it can't be anything else then that, cold sauce, cold food, and in these corona times all eathing from the same "plate"?) It's just a shot at going viral.

Gross, they could have used a big foil pan and it would've kept it warm. THough not sure that would've been an improvement since it's sauce out of a jar

Okay so I have actually been in Italy and you can tell that this is a fake. She talks as if it’s new, the rest of her kitchen is clean and tidy and Italians don’t eat like that. For 3 years I lived there and I have eaten at ppl houses and this so fake and so unhygienic. If that’s actually how her family eats if they would be dead cause of bacteria.

She claims this is the Italian way of making spaghetti. There is no such thing as spaghetti with meatballs in Italy, to start with.

“I’m Italian and this is how Italians make it”?!? Pretty sure you’re already banned from entering Italy.

It's not real. Sauce is cold or she couldn't hold the jar. Pasta is cold or she couldn't pick it up. Nasty.

OMG people, this is a JOKE. This is not real. Read the friggin' words between the pictures. Sh!t. Here, let me help you: "As mentioned previously, this account posts prank videos in which they put disclaimers that the page includes staged scripts and hack parodies. So, given the nature of other videos that Josh and Lisa post, it is possible that this way of preparing spaghetti is just a joke meant to show off how ridiculous the TikTok trend was. It could be that the spaghetti were overcooked on purpose and the Prego sauce that exasperated so many commentators was also just to add to the absurdity."

Lisa is full of s**t, this is not how Italians prepare it. Source: my mom's side os fresh off the boat Sicilian. Also, what the hell would Lisa know about being Italian? She's using sauce from a damn jar. Besides, it doesn't matter how clean the counter looks, it is a breeding ground for germs/microbes/etc. Souce: I'm a chef. This is just no. No in every way. And it's cold, nobody.comes over for cold spaghetti dinner.

Why she says” it doesn’t leave a mess” and “it’s the Italian👌🏾 Way to make it” it leaves a mess on the countertop AND I’m pretty sure Italians don’t make it that way and she’s just looking for likes 🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽

Time to do maths - my Nonna (gran lol) makes pasta for AT LEAST 14 people sometimes, and one is vegetarian. She makes two sauces, but she would NEVER do this. Never.

Italians Italians everywhere: "no it's not." Italians have a wooden type board which they move and clean, essentially a giant dish that can withstand many different temperatures

What do you mean Francesca? Are you talking about the cutting board or the dough board? I am not aware that they are used to eat spaghetti with meat sauce.

As far as I know she left "The Italian way" even before she went shopping by combining meatballs and pasta in one dish. It only didn't go downhill from there because she startet out at gutter level.

"She said that this method is great because it doesn’t leave a mess" How is dumping pasta all over your countertop not 100% mess?

The problems started as soon as the Prego came out. Not even out of the container, but like, out of the grocery store. Out of the production warehouse, even.

How do I know its a parody? Because of the shitty salad dressing. An Italian would make a simple olive oil and vinegar dressing. To me that was the real 'tell'. Even more than the Prego sauce, btw.

The usual video about someone that like to cook awfully in order to make more views. It was funny to see this post..until she mentioned that "this is the way Italians do it". No way, I want to clarify it for the people that didn't read accurately the post or don't know. Apart from the antigenic surface, the fake parmesan and the salad, that is obviously far from the way we cook. Like the post mentioned, rightly, spaghetti and meatballs is an Italo-American dish, not an Italian one. In fact I think that most Italians have seen that dish for the first time in "Lady and the Tramp". For what I have read their account is plenty of parody and pranks, so I'm quite sure this is just another video to make easy views "offending" cuisine and expecially Italian one (yes, we are quite touchy when someone disrespect our food). For me, I just hope that people don't take these "informations" seriously.

I've seen that before. First- what the f**k? Second- you don't want to wash plates- does the countertop clean itself? I mean if she put paper under it I'd get the no cleaning part lol This is whack and so wrong.

It never ceases to amaze me how dumb people tend to take everything seriously. This is clearly a fckn joke, you idiots! Same thing happened a few days with a post about crazy people online.... The comments made me cringe more than the posts, considering most posts were clearly bad jokes. Well, same thing here. It's meant to be disgusting.
