Scott Conant’s Ricotta Gnocchi May Change How You Cook Pasta | Butter Sauce Tip That Holds for HOURS

From the stunning W South Beach, the Chewed Up crew welcomes acclaimed chef Scott Conant for a conversation (and cook) rooted in simplicity, technique, and deep culinary tradition.
Scott shares the story behind his now-iconic reputation (yes, including the “red onion guy” moment), while revealing the philosophy that defines his cooking: less is more — but only when done right.
In the kitchen, Scott prepares a delicate ricotta-based gnocchi packed with broccoli rabe, spinach, and basil, paired with a silky butter sauce stabilized with a clever cornstarch technique and finished with his signature Martone Street marinara. Along the way, he breaks down essential techniques — from properly salting pasta water (hint: not like the ocean) to extracting maximum flavor from simple ingredients.
The episode blends humor, heartfelt storytelling, and serious culinary insight, as Scott reflects on family, his daughters, and the inspiration behind Martone Street — a tribute to the home where his love of food began.
It’s a masterclass in thoughtful simplicity — proving that the most powerful dishes often come from restraint, intention, and great ingredients.

    In a time when everything is extra too much in overdone when something is done right chef's kiss Perfection simple and boring is not in the same room with purity❤

    Sending food back chew it chew it and chew it again listen it cost too much money to accept just anything when you got a 43 or start on something

    Was excited to hear a prize going to Laura….and after the pause Seattle. Not me! I’m pretty sure my name was in after the first show so it’s at the BOTTOM of that beverage cooler! 😂

  12. @Dubidawn

    Looooove Scott C!Never knew about making past water taste like broth.Thank you! ❤❤❤❤

    I agree with not sending back food UNLESS you have told the server that you are allergic to an ingredient and the plate comes back with DOUBLE that ingredient. I ordered a hamburger that DIDN'T come with cheese and I told the server I was allergic to dairy and got the burger with 2 slices of cheese.

  16. @remotespv

    It would be great and helpful to know what other dishes could be paired with the recipes. I cannot wait to make this

  18. @jaclynfrank

    I have no problem sending food back if it’s something I know I’m not going to be happy with. If my steak isn’t to my liking I will send it back, but if they give me broccoli instead of green beans I’ll just eat the broccoli. If I’m gonna pay money for something I expect it to be correct. If you are going to offer options for a specific temperature cook on your steak, then I would expect it to be cooked the way I ask. Now if I just don’t like the option I chose on the menu then I’m not sending that back, I made a wrong choice.

    Clinton having a little anxiety attack over the straight guy handshake and then Scott explaining it to him like “let’s play Patty Cake” has got me in tears!😂

  23. @ma1denm0thercron3

    South Beach is the perfect backdrop for Chewed Up 🏖 😊 Enjoying every minute in the sun with my faves, Carla, Clinton and Michael. Great guests, great vibes, great time!

  26. @tellmewhy64

    Kind people and good food…life is good. This whole show was a great big hug of happiness and friendship 🤗❤️

  27. @heather75

    I'm glad there was a blur on the background cuz that shirtless guy on the phone (and then a drink) stayed behind Scott for the longest time.

  33. @carolmonteleone-whiteside4407

    Chew It! That sauce and gnocchi looks so delicious.
    Screw It!
    Sending food back that wasn't ordered or cooked (steak) to my request is my right as your customer. If you as a chef or your employees aren't open to correcting a mistake then I'll eat elsewhere. Splitting check check multiple ways should be doable with many pos systems.

  37. @marthameikle2015

    When the heck a roonie are you going to call my name!!! I need some more Martone Street and there is no Sprouts near me! Daughter went to Annapolis and brought me some….gone after tonight!!

  38. @Hx3ney

    Was just at Sprouts picking up POP mustard guess I have to go back .. Oh well 😊❤
    Clinton, you should go back to that barber and redeem yourself with your new powers .. defeat the bird claw🤌🏻 intrusive thoughts 🤝👊🤛👏🙌🦸‍♂️
    Wish everyone well 💕🌻

    I don't think I've seen the slurry trick used for a butter sauce before. Used it to thicken other sauces and gravy before. New weapon in the arsenal.
