  • Join Molly Baz in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes adult macaroni & cheese! It's just about as easy as opening one of those little boxes of shells and powdered sauce-and a whole lot more delicious. Our super-quick stovetop mac and cheese borrows from the method for a classic cacio e pepe pasta, but with a bit of milk to make it extra creamy. No béchamel, no baking, just pure dairy-on-carbs joy.

    I always appreciate when a chef tells me why we don’t do something (high heat = stringy Parmesan cheese) just as much as the instructions. It always is a light bulb moment for me as to why something I’ve cooked didn’t work out as intended.

      it's the best part of any good cooking content. learning cooking is more about learning methods and how ingredients behave than memorizing recipes. anybody can follow instructions and make a great meal, but being able to actually cook requires that understanding element so that you can still create good food when perhaps you don't have good instructions, or don't have the exact ingredients that you might want.

    Molly seems to be taking a lot of heat recently; both on the internet, and perhaps within BA itself. These are simple recipes designed for beginner cooks, and--though all of the internet chefs may not feel challenged by what she is producing--she is still doing a service by getting new blood into the cooking scene.

      Yeah, it is definitely a two pot process the way she did it. The bowls were for serving and the blender is a tool, so I can see not counting them. There are pasta recipes that actually cook the pasta in the sauce and thus are true one pot recipes. This is not one of those.

      It's a Commercial Kitchen/Professional Chef thing. At home, you don't start a Pentola of water when you fire up the stoves for the start of the shift, and keep it topped off all day until close for cooking off Pasta, Poaching Eggs, and pretty much anything you need boiling water for, because you can't stop on the line, or send a preppie (Prep-cook) to boil some water. It's a Chef's "One pot," not a Home-Cook's "One Pot." She used some measuring spoons too. Those don't count.

      Captain Obvious here... Molly is correct. The final dish need a very little of salt, because Parmiggiano is really salty and flavourful... and the coocking water she use for "mantecare" was already salted. But, as she said, a lot of the salt she put for boiling pasta will remain in the water itself... the boiling water/salt it's a specific ratio. Usually is 10gr of salt per every litre of water you use. Trust me, if you don't put enough salt in the boiling water, then you can have the saltiest sauce in the world, but you will taste unflavour pasta anyway!

      Fundamental mistakes... too much water in when bringing sauce together, turn the heat off when the pasta is cooked, pasta was overcooked anyway, sauce was too runny, it's an alfredo without the flavours, you dont actually need any butter if you use a sharp cheese and understand the fundamentals of Italian cooking. Most of all don't say ''parm'' and ''pep''. What a boring recipe. Are Americans only able to use orange fake cheddar & parmesan? Why don't you actually adult it up with a few mills of Riesling or a dark spirit, Gruyère and some other hard vintage cheese, anything else to teach people to make something interesting and learn to progress flavours, don't just make a bad version of a classic.

    • @elizabethhomer8493
      @elizabethhomer8493 5 років тому

      @@robspunk I definitely think a more sophisticated dish could be a successful video. This video is still more of a complex process than most people apply to their mac and cheese so in that way it was a major success. I'm sure that BA's chefs know way more about techniques than I do, and I'm sure they could draw out the differences between the recipes I included for comparison. I just think a lot of people are looking for a mac and cheese like their grandma made (the gooey gooey reference), maybe not the most complex and sophisticated dish with french/Italian techniques. I think that BA makes content for the elevated chefs as well as the home chefs and I just think a more "homestyle" mac and cheese would have also been recieved well.

      Maybe (MAYBE) you saw restaurants serve pasta inside a huge form of cheese and that is a gourmet thing. I am not saying "that version is not good".

    I'm big on the crunchy top of baked mac and cheese, so I mix in some breadcrumbs when plating. So good!

      Leather Pants Guy In partial to baked mac for the crunchy topping. If making stovetop max, I always toast up some panko with olive oil, garlic salt, parm, and parsley. All about the combination of textures!
