can i make mac and cheese by boiling noodles and putting cheese on them?

BETETR ANSWER ME QUICK MOFTHERFUCKERS

As long as the noodles are macaroni noodles you can

Get some milk too so it's not too thick

"Can" you? Sure. Should you? idk if that's what you want to do. It will just taste like noodles with cheese on top, not real makaroni and cheese. The cheese is supposed to have a roux and some milk to make it creamier.

that would be mac with cheese. mac and cheese requires one make a cheesie sauce in which to bathe and ensconce the pasta

If you use American cheese, yes. It has emulsifiers to keep the oil in the cheese from separating. Even just 1 or 2 slices combined with other cheeses will emulsify them too. But

Also this

>>21429527 (OP)
That would technically be mac and cheese, but it wouldn't taste right and the cheese wouldn't melt right

>>21429527 (OP)
Just get Velveeta shells and cheese, nigga
You can't make it better than that

>>21429527 (OP)
Yes. It doesn't turn out as well as properly made mac and cheese, but it's passable.

>>21429548
>emulsifiers
The starch from the pasta emulsifies the cheese.

>>21429527 (OP)
I bought some velveeta to make mac and cheese and it tastes just like craft singles. I assume you can just use kraft singles or some other american cheese plus a bit of milk to water it down. If you use straight cheddar or something it will probably be a massive pain in the ass to melt.

>The starch from the pasta emulsifies the cheese.
Not nearly enough. If you dump a bunch of cheddar on plain noodles, it will separate.

>I CANT MAKE MAC AND CHEESE
LOL OKAY CK

>>21429561
>on plain noodles
You don't drain the water, you just boil it down enough to achieve the desired consistency, then melt the cheese in that starchy water. Again, it's not great, but it works.

>>21429565
not only can't you, but you mustn't and you mayn't

Marco says that you do not add cheese to your mac and cheese

>>21429573
>then melt the cheese in that starchy water.
Gross, just heat a shitty roux with cheese, milk, and spices to pour on top.

>>21429582
the british bechamel scam needs to stop. so many casseroles and pasta dishes that look like sensational cheesie saucy succulence and then taste like fucking unsalted milk

>>21429573
I do that but I cheat and add some sodium citrate. Mixing american cheese/velveeta in with the other cheese does the same thing. Been using an ultra-rich turkey broth I made after last thanksgiving as the base liquid as well. Shit's delicious.

>>21429573
That sounds terrible. If you want to go that route, just boil the noodles in evaporated milk.

None of you ignorant cunts know he's basically asking how to make cacio e pepe
Fucking hate this board sometimes

>>21429634
Kill yourself e pepe

>>21429634
He's basically asking you to suck his cock
So get to it

>>21429634
Then why did he post a picture of mac and cheese and ask if he can make mac and cheese with just cheese and noodles? Fucking retard.

>>21429634
pecorino cheese tastes like stinkie feet

>>21429644
I JUST WANT TO MIX NOODLES AND FUCKING CHEESE YOU FUCK

>>21429527 (OP)
nowadays I just do it like this, boil noodles in water, strain most of the water leaving just a little in there, then start dumping cheese in there. If I'm feeling spicy I'll make a white gravy, melt cheese in there, and then dump the noodles in that instead. Either way I typically use a bunch of different types of cheese for it for best results.

ALSO START PUTTING MIXED NUTS IN YOUR MAC AND CHEESE
it makes it a million times better.

I've got spurral posta and Laughin Cow cheeses. I am going to use these to make cheesie pasta tonight. If this thread persists I will post results

I might mix in some diced pickled chirri peppers and and bake it, I might keep it simple idunno

That's literally what mac and cheese is, dumbass.

>>21429754
>ALSO START PUTTING MIXED NUTS IN YOUR MAC AND CHEESE

That's fucking crazy. You're way out of line bro.

>>21429582
just try and stop me.

>>21429754
>ALSO START PUTTING MIXED NUTS IN YOUR MAC AND CHEESE

nah, man. I want some extra protein in my mac, I'm gonna slice up a linguica and pan fry it, then dump that in.

>>21429527 (OP)
if you use egg yolks as an emulsifier you can make a cheese sauce yes

>>21429843
it's a europhemism
Him and his boy Gunther and their neighbor mustakrakish are cumming into the roux. Hence "multiple nuts" or whatever that faggot said

>>21429775
Bake it nigga

>>21429527 (OP)
Make it the same as you would Kraft mac and cheese (with butter and milk) only use shredded cheese instead of an artificial cheese packet. Don't add too much butter unless you like gritty cheese sauce though. 1 tablespoon per pot, and just a splash of milk.
