I'm a PhD organic chemist.

00:00:07.540 --> 00:00:12.010
I've been blind since birth, and one of my favorite things is cooking for great friends

00:00:12.040 --> 00:00:13.310
and family in my kitchen.

00:00:13.760 --> 00:00:19.020

works. Thank you for calling Barilla on Be My Eyes. My name is Rachel. How can I assist you today?

00:00:48.780 --> 00:00:52.000
Rachel, my name's Hobie. How you doing today? I'm doing well. How are

00:00:52.140 --> 00:00:56.070
you? I'm doing great. Hey, I'm having my partner's family over

00:00:56.080 --> 00:01:01.080
for dinner tonight, and they love pasta, so I thought I'd give you a call and find out about some

00:01:01.140 --> 00:01:04.000
great recipe ideas. Of course. I'd be happy

00:01:04.019 --> 00:01:08.320
to help you with that. What type of pasta and sauces does your family enjoy?

00:01:08.720 --> 00:01:13.260
We like all kinds of pasta, and we love sauces with a lot of big flavor.

00:01:13.440 --> 00:01:13.990
Can you help me out

00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:19.000
with that? Absolutely. Here. are three dishes with a lot of flavor that I' think will work

00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:22.400
great: penne with creamy oven-roasted cherry tomatoes,

00:01:22.980 --> 00:01:24.120
a classic Italian

00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:27.080
carbonara, or lemon chicken orzo

00:01:27.140 --> 00:01:32.060
soup. Oh, you have me sold with penne with creamy oven-roasted tomatoes. Let's do that one.

00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:32.540
Of

00:01:32.600 --> 00:01:36.340
course. You will need one box of Barilla penne,

00:01:37.160 --> 00:01:38.140
a half cup sweet

00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:44.180
onion, chopped, three pints cherry tomatoes, halved, three tablespoons extra virgin olive oil,

00:01:44.260 --> 00:01:45.960
divided, a third cup

00:01:46.020 --> 00:01:48.320
heavy cream, one tablespoon butter,

00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:51.220
a third cup of Parmesan cheese, grated,

00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:53.060
12 basil leaves, torn,

00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:54.140
and salt and pepper

00:01:54.240 --> 00:01:54.760
to taste.

00:01:55.540 --> 00:01:58.200
All right, we're gonna do it. Thank you, Rachel.

00:01:58.260 --> 00:02:03.030
You're welcome. Now that I have my recipe from Rachel and my freshly delivered groceries, it's

00:02:03.080 --> 00:02:09.038
time to get started. Most Barilla pasta has a QR code right on the package that I can scan with

00:02:09.139 --> 00:02:12.940
my phone and be taken directly to the Barilla profile on the Be My Eyes

00:02:13.040 --> 00:02:14.040
app. All right,

00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:18.040
let's get cooking. With a recipe and guidance from Barilla,

00:02:18.460 --> 00:02:19.109
Hobie. starts

00:02:19.109 --> 00:02:22.340
to prepare the dish. First, he peels and chops the onions,

00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:24.040
followed by tomatoes.

00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:31.020
Then, he brings a large pot of water to the boil and adds the Barilla pasta.

00:02:34.020 --> 00:02:36.220
Next, he begins cooking the sauce by sautéing

00:02:36.260 --> 00:02:39.260
the vegetables. All right, I' think we're ready for cherry tomatoes.

00:02:41.920 --> 00:02:47.300
Once the vegetables are cooked through, Hobie adds cream and stirs. Once the sauce is mixed, the pasta

00:02:47.340 --> 00:02:48.180
is added to the pan.

00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:52.020
Grated Italian cheese and fresh herbs are added and stirred

00:02:52.060 --> 00:02:56.240
through. Hobie adds a final sprinkling of cheese to the finished

00:02:56.260 --> 00:02:59.280
dish. Okay, Rachel.

00:02:59.640 --> 00:03:03.320
I prepared your recommended dish, and it smells amazing.

00:03:03.820 --> 00:03:04.040
How does

00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:09.740
this look to you? It looks good. If you have some extra basil, feel free to throw that on there

00:03:09.780 --> 00:03:10.040
for a

00:03:10.060 --> 00:03:13.140
pop of color. Let's do it. Hang on. Let me do this and see how you like

00:03:13.180 --> 00:03:15.040
it. Okay.

00:03:16.420 --> 00:03:16.960
All right. How's

00:03:17.020 --> 00:03:19.080
that visual? It looks perfect.

00:03:19.740 --> 00:03:22.040

00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:24.240
