I've always been taught you put the noodles in a collinder to get the extra water out after the noodles are cooked then put it back in the pot and add all your seasoning packets, butter, extra cheese whatever else and stir as it all melts onto the noodles. Trust me on this, it tastes amazing.

Yes that's the standard way. But whenever we cook pasta we are supposed to save some of the pasta water to put back in. The starch in the water helps to emulsify the sauce or something. This method doesn't have any EXTRA water to drain off. I guess they kept measuring until they figured out the right amount. When I'm out of milk I've used plain unsweetened yogurt or sour cream instead. That makes it pretty creamy too. And I like putting some shredded cheese on top.

For anyone interested, the extra starch from the cooking of the pasta (which would normally be thrown out when you strain the noodles) is what makes it so creamy. It acts as an emulsifier so that the fat from the butter and cheese mixes with the water and milk to make a homogeneous sauce. That is why the instructions on the box tell you to strain the noodles, but not to rinse them. The little bit of extra starch left on the noodles helps the sauce come together. That's also what the white powder in the microwavable Easy Mac is for, starch to help make the sauce. For those who like to make it from scratch with just pasta, real cheese, and milk or cream, you can achieve similar results by adding some of the pasta cooking water back into the sauce. Start by using a little less water than you normally would to cook the pasta, then scoop the pasta out of the water when its done cooking instead of straining it into a colander. Then let the pasta water continue to boil for a couple of minutes to concentrate the startch. Save that in a heat safe bowl and pour some bit by bit into your cheese and milk mixture until you get the desired creaminess. This is also the secret to how authentic Fettuccine Alfredo is so creamy from just butter, parmesan, and a bit of hot concentrated pasta water to melt and emulsify the butter and parmesan together. Enjoy.

@@onradioactivewaves Sorry to have to give you the bad news, but if your Alfredo has heavy cream in it then it is NOT authentic Fettuccine Alfredo. You can Google it pretty easily and discover that the only ingredients are fettuccine noodles, butter, and parmesan cheese. That is literally the recipe as described by the Italian restaurant owner who created the dish. Several famous people visited Alfredo di Lelio's restaurants, including prominent Hollywood actors. When they got home to America and tried to have the dish recreated, they added heavy cream to the recipe because they were going off only a description of the dish and how it tasted and had trouble getting it right without the cream since they didn't know the process of making it. The "Alfredo" sauce most Americans are familiar with is actually closer to a mornay or bechamel sauce than the sauce on authentic Fettuccine Alfredo.

I would suggest melting the butter and mixing it with the powdered cheese first to make sure it's all homogenized well. Then cook it all together. I have invariably had problems with powdered stuff clumping no matter how long I'd cook stuff for. Discovered if you mix the powders with fats/oils before you let water touch the powder, it mixes so much better.

After boiling the noodles, drain them in a colander and then rinse them with hot water. Now return them to the cooking pot, add 1/4 stick of butter (it's a lot, yeah) and the cheese powder then mix until the cheese is as dispersed as you can get it. Now add 1/4 cup of milk and mix again. Any unincorporated cheese powder should dissolve into the milk. Add more milk if it's too thick for your liking, but don't go overboard or the cheese will wash off your noodles

Here are my tips. Wait for the water to boil before adding the pasta. Once the pasta is your desired softness, drain it and then IMMEDIATELY and quickly stir the butter into the pasta. The heat from the pasta and the constant stirring emulsifies the butter. Once the butter is melted, stir in the cheese package. Once that's as mixed in as you can get, now you add the amount of milk asked on the package. You'll get the same creaminess without having to use 2 packages.

My grandma taught me to boil water with salt (however much you prefer) and wait for it to boil. I added a bit of butter to the water. Then, I cooked Kraft Dinner for 8 minutes and drained the noodles. Afterwards, I put the pot on low heat and added a generous spoonful of butter, waiting for it to melt. I poured in roughly the same amount of milk as the butter, mixed the powder with the milk and butter inside the still-hot pot until it was thick and well combined, and then added the noodles. The result tasted just like the original, despite claims it had been changed.

There's certainly a difference between boxed Mac & Cheese and Easy Mac but the standard box directions work just fine. As others have said when draining don't drain to fully dry and the leftover pasta water will help thicken it up. If you want to get a little fancy throwing in some extra cheese (even a kraft american single slice adds some creamy gooeyness to it) and some onion and garlic powder will enhance that cheese flavor
@humansomewhat2167

I normally do a lazy strain about 2 minutes shy of being done (aka not using a colander just a spoon and a gentle pouring and some skill to not spill the noodles), reserving some pasta water to finish cooking the noodles while adding the final ingredients. Works pretty good, always better than following the directions. This does look extra creamy though, probably due to the extra milk and cheese, and the gluten being more developed in the sauce due to the stirring motion. Yum.

I see a lot of good advice here in the comments. I personally am a fan of draining the water and saving a bit aside to make the cheese but I also rinse the noodles afterward to get rid of the starch and firm the noodle. When recombined with the starched sauce it attracts to the noodle and hits differently on the taste buds (which Jordan no longer has). Also, don't be afraid to put a bunch of Parmesan cheese in it, make sure it's melted (like Jordan's taste buds) and hit it all with a bit of white pepper if you got it, black is good too. Also tempering your water with tabasco will give it a tang that is subtle but you'll miss it when it's gone (like Jordan's taste buds). :)

I always just strained out the water when the noodles became al dente (slightly chewy, never mushy) since water thins the cheese flavour, stir in a bit of butter or margerine just to make sure it ain't tacky/sticky as I pour in the cheese powder (also adds a bit of saltyness to the dish), then you stir it up with just some milk to hydrate the cheese and make it a nice creamy consistency. Then after that you can toss some more cheese on top, or personally I hit it with a bit of paprika which just gives it a nice pop of flavour. Or if you're a heretical monster like most of my friends, you put ketchup on top (dunno if it's just a Canadian thing, but so many people do it).

I found the best way to make it when you're just having it straight is after draining the noodles, add the butter to the pan first and stir until fully mixed, then add the milk SLOWLY, a few tablespoons at a time (ish) and mix until the powder is fully mixed in. It gets super cheesy. If you're looking to add protein, hot dogs, sliced turkey, bacon, oe tuna are great to add. If you want something green, cut up some broccoli and add that to the water before you turn on heat so it has time to get fully cooked (the noodles get added once the water boils but you do not remove the broccoli).

Hey Jordan, could you make sure to order stuff from the secret menu off of this cafe that us Canadians to regularly which is Tim Horton's. More specifically, the Gretzky or 99 (9 cream 9 sugar) and the 8-ball (ice Capp with whipped cream and chocolate Timbit). I just wanna make sure that they do exist.

I grew up making boxed kraft Mac. I used to bit a bit of condensed milk in mine for a sweet and creamy vibe. I also added string cheese to mine to add cool cheese pulls😂

You should try Velveeta and shells. I've been doing it for years and add a can of Rotell (drained) you will love it. 🥰

If you want it even thicker add powdered parmesan. Most parmesan is dried out sort absorbs what little moisture is left

Hey if you use heavy cream or evaporated milk instead of regular milk, it comes out even creamier! I do it with my cheesy ranch burger helper... I'll have to try it with this now! Thanks

I sometimes add a touch of sour cream.. it's been ages since I made it.. I used to make that for my wife, with some hamburger thrown in. It was our comfort food and struggle meal. Damnit, now I has a sad *and* I'm hungry. You're still awesome, Jordaan.

Yall should try some hot sauce on your mac and cheese. Back when you could still find siracha that was a good combo

I let the water boil with a pinch of salt, then add the pasta. When the pasta is cooked, I drain almost all the liquid (I leave about a tablespoon of the water in the pot). I then add the butter so it'll melt, then the milk and cheese. Leaving a little of the starchy water helps the cheese sauce stick to the noodles.

I've got the same thing going on in slightly different way. I boil the noodles in water, drain, return to pot, add the powder, add the milk, extra cheese if I got it, stir, boil down the milk for a couple of minutes. Once the milk is all gone (doesn't take long.) I've got something pretty good. Works with one box just fine.
