Let me show you how to make mac and cheese the way my Syrian mother made it. While it’s not your traditional Italian mac and cheese or even the way that the entire internet seems to make it, it is really delicious and super easy. You’re going to start by severely over boiling the pasta because did you hear me when I said my mom was Syrian? Then you’re going to pull out any cheese that you have in the fridge. For us, it was typically the Black Diamond block of cheese because it would go on sale for $3.99 a block and my mom had seven mouths to feed plus her own. And we weren’t exactly financially stable at the time since we were kicked out of the US after a certain world event occurred in 2001. I bet you didn’t know that was a thing, but it actually happened to a lot of families, specifically families coming from countries in the Middle East. Straight to the hot pasta, you’re going to add the cube cheese cuz Arab households don’t usually have cheese grers. Butter, salt, and pepper, and some milk. And then give it a really good mix. And it’s going to be a little bit of an arm workout, but just keep on going until all the cheese melts. This is what it looks like when it’s done. Super creamy, cheesy. And I feel like this is what mac and cheese is supposed to look like. Cheesy, not starting off with the room. Bite from my childhood.

1 lb pasta of choice, cooked
1lb cheese of choice, cubed
2 tbs butter
1/4-1/2 cup milk
Pinch of salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Add everything to the hot cooked pasta and mix until cheese melts. Adjust salt to taste.
That is beautiful ❤
This looks good, but i have a question. Is this the type of pasta dish You have to eat right away or can it be left in the bridge and reheated? Thinking about leftovers for lunch
Im gonna make this eventually. But you’re not gonna catch me over boiling my pasta. It’s al dente or nada for me.
this is some of the best looking mac and cheese ive ever seen omg my mouth actually started watering 😭 next time i make mac n cheese i am making it like this
That looks so good!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤

Make sure the cheese is halal tho since moat cheese are made out of renet especially if you are not in a mislim country!

Italian Mac n cheese is a wild phrase

girl.
I’ve had that before. Not really good.
This looks gross 🤮
I just want a taste!
Mac & cheese is Italian?
Instant subscribe for using my favorite pasta shape
Yuck. Looks like spider webs 🫤
I hate mac and cheese made with a roux. Idk why I've just never liked it. This looks incredible though, actually pasta and cheese not a white sauce!
Instead of macaroni you used the retro like-like from original Zelda type pasta 👍 😎
Is that why Islamists are back in the US en masse and causing trouble as revenge for being kicked out in the past?
The noises and the feeling in my mouth would probably give me sensory overload but otherwise, it look amazing 🤩
Yummmm
I think Mac and Cheese is American. The way you make it more creamy is by making a roux with flour and cream or milk and slowly melting the cheese in. Then you add the cooked noodles at the end so they don’t get overcooked. Sorry you got kicked out in 2001.
Certain world event? Umm would that be 9/11?
"traditional italian mac and cheese"
um. what?
Mac and cheese is english
Well if a bunch of people from a specific religion killed people in your country, would you want them to stay? I wouldn't. I'd want them gone. They killed so many people. Instead you should denounce islam and the evil people that did it.
Really happy that you were kicked out of the US after 9/11. We didn’t need anymore potential terrorists at that time
the whole how it's "supposed to look" is annoying. this probably is yummy. the roux ones definitely are yummy. the lil supposed to look like seemed not needed.
Italienne Mac and cheese 🥀
Mac & cheese is not Italian?? Like at all
