Sous Vide Pasta
The uses of the sous vide method extends to various areas in the kitchen, including the preparation of pasta dishes, specifically sauce. Just about anything and everything can be put into pasta sauce including vegetables, chicken, seafood and meat.
Having vegetables, chicken and seafood in pasta can mean having these become overdone while waiting for the sauce to reduce, simmer or simply cook. With sous vide pasta, these ingredients can be cooked to right doneness and set aside until it is ready to be added in.
On the other hand, tougher cuts of meat such as beef for stroganoff may take too long to tenderize, drying up the sauce or causing an extended cooking time. In the same way as with tender ingredients, tougher ones may be prepped using sous vide to ensure that it is soft enough to be used without having to leave it in the sauce too long.
Aside from the ingredients being done just right, sous vide can also be used to make a sauce base. Tomatoes and herbs can be cooked using sous vide for a basic red sauce. The process can also be used to pasteurize eggs for recipes like pasta carbonara.
Sous vide pasta cooking time will depend on what is being prepped. Most vegetables are typically cooked at 183°F and chicken meat at 147°F, while eggs should be kept at 135°F if being used for raw cooking. High quality seafood can be held at 132°F, while lower grades are best cooked at 135°F. Beef may be done anywhere from 140°F to 149°F depending on the cut and desired doneness.
