fettuccine alfredo is good, spaghetti is bad

It's really not.

Mac and cheese uses a mornay sauce, alfredo is a cream sauce.

The pasta itself is "just" a flat noodle, but it's built to carry the sauce in large quantities, hence the flat noodles large surface area.

>using a roux in mac and cheese
ngmi

I have some sodium phosphate if I want to fuck around doing that instead, but i much prefer the texture of a mornay sauce personally.

I guess if you grew up on velveeta I can see preferring the sodium phosphate based cheese sauces.

>>14395454
Huh?

>>14395457
using sodium phosphate as an emulsifier allows you to get silky smooth cheese sauce without using a roux.

>>14395462
you can also get a silky smooth cheese sauce with just, y'know, cream, butter, and cheese

>>14395466
It works okay for a single serving you're going to eat right now and espcially with cheap american cheese (which already has emulsifiers in it). But if you're doing more interesting cheeses (Gruyère, parmesan, etc) it's not gonna work great.


A roux makes things much easier. And on that note, so does sodium phosphate if you want like nacho cheese consistency even with fancier cheese that normally don't melt down that nicely.

>>14395472
lol wat i just made alfredo with parmesan and gruyere and it turned out fine without a roux
why are you trying to make people eat chemicals

>>14395476
>why are you trying to make people eat chemicals
Since when did flour butter and milk become chemicals?

A roux helps things stay together.

Not using a roux is a good way to curdle or break your cheese sauce.

>>14395488
you won't break your sauce if you don't boil it like a retard

>>14395492
Sure, or i can make a roux and not even have to worry about it.

Also many factors can break or curdle a sauce, not just heat.

>>14395500
why are you trying to make people put roux in their fettuccine alfredo and mac and cheese
roux doesn't go in fettuccinne alfredo or mac and cheese

>>14395506
I never said to make a roux for an alfredo.

I don't.

With mac and cheese, you're 100% "supposed" to according to the majority of recipies.

Again, the "classic" mac and cheese sauce is a mornay sauce.

>>14395335
well, anal with a trannie is really just as good as vaginal sex if you think about it

>>14395532
>majority of recipes
lmao all written by literally who Karens
stop appealing to authority, you rouxlicker

>>14395537
nah, a vag is the best. can't change my mind.

>>14395602
The joy of cooking recipe for mac and cheese uses a roux.

Rachel ray also uses a roux

Julia child has no official mac and cheese recipe, but considering her fondness for traditional french technique, you know she'd start with a roux too.

>>14395626
just cuz everyone jumps off a cliff doesn't mean you should too
innovate. stop being a sheep.

>>14395634
>innovate
>suggests sodium phosphate as an alternative
>no you have to innovate in the same way i innovate!!!
sick bro

>>14395650
nigga the only one who brought up soydicum fool's fate is YOU

>>14395654
yes, im saying i suggested it.

You don't think green text means i'm always directly quoting you do you?

>>14395654
actually retarded

>>14395335
Just admit that beer taste exactly the same as stale wet moldy bread and move on faggot

>>14395335
craving fettuccine alfredo now fuck you

>>14395532
Don't waste your time, he's a retard and you are 100% right, classic mac and cheese is made with a mornay sauce.

>>14397715
ngl it kinda does when you aren't a raging alcoholic

>>14395384
How do you make it?

>>14395335

Spittin straight fax

>>14395337
Like as a vehicle for alfredo sauce? Yeah, it's not going to pick up the sauce well so it'll be disappointing.

Personally the only thing I use spaghetti for is carbonara, I don't think it works well for much else.

>>14395369
Macaroni and cheese doesn't have to use a Mornay sauce, that's just a common way of making it. I prefer cream sauce macaroni and cheese personally, but lately I've been playing around with making it just using milk, butter, powdered cheese, and then adding in different melting cheeses to tweak the flavor and consistency.

>>14398320
finally some fucking sense in this thread
niggas treating mac and cheese recipes like dogma

>>14398320
Imagine using powdered cheese and thinking you can cook at all. Holy fucking cringe

>>14395654

>>14398326
it’s religious dogma for me faggot

>>14399427
ooh-oooh say can't you seeeeeee

>>14399242
Imagine using powdered wheat berries and thinking you can cook at all. Holy fucking cringe

>>14395335
>fettuccine alfredo
>ingredients: butter, parmesan, freshly cooked fettuccine
I don't know what kinda mac and cheese you make, but if it uses cream, a roux or just milk, it's just not the same, period.

>>14395335
Alright then, faggot. You want mac and cheese a la fettuccine alfredo? How about this:
>Mac and Cheese a la Cockmunch OP
Salt water, bring to a boil.
Melt butter in a deep pan. Add macaroni, tossing them until evenly coated. Add a ladle or two of salt water, and reduce liquid, stirring occasionally. Continue this process until macaroni are al dente. Add grated parmesan and a few flakes of additional butter. Combine until the residual liquid formed a creamy sauce with the butter and macaroni.

NOW it's almost the same, enjoy.

>>14395335
Why do you torment yourselves with monstrosities like fettucine alfredo? Why not go for the infinitely more delicious pasta carbonara or spaghetti aglio e olio?

Kassler, leek, horseradish and creme fraiche, done.

>>14400407
this, alfredo is bastardized italian-american crap

>>14399706
imagine making cacio e pepe without pepe then calling it mac and cheese lmao
