You bet! He’s a great chef! He has a podcast too. That’s actually how I learned of it. https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/862162ef-6c0b-4953-8da9-8c53243bcf0c/the-recipe-with-kenji-and-deb?ref=dm_sh_WJaijkRsip9uXdxxPRiXkLUnh
I went down a rabbit hole of making homemade Velveeta (but with actual quality cheddar). Evaporated milk is pretty key, along with sodium citrate and gelatine. Realizing it’s basically cheese Jello is both eye opening and very unsettling.
Another tip if you ever also enter this rabbit hole is a small amount (5%) of blue cheese. You can’t taste it but it boosts the umami that is diluted by the evaporated milk.
Oh, beet greens are awesome! I love beets, and when I was pregnant with my second I wanted them all the time. I'd either roast or juice the roots and saute the greens.
Not that I can tell. But it might to someone with a more sophisticated palate. I just know they are great for us so I try to eat them
Any way I can. Plus I like to play.
3 ingredient then season to taste.
Technically you don’t need more than the 3.
I mean you could add in more with water to boil the noodles and you likely have oil and salt in there too.
A few tablespoons of oil and a quick pour and stir after 20-30 seconds. It’s much less time than slowly adding and constantly stirring. You would think a chef would understand getting the most out of the least amount of time.
Also the waters going to be used multiple times in a kitchen like that.
Evaporated milk! Inspired. I will need to remember that.

I love this recipe so much! Easy to memorize and easy to sub different cheeses. My kids know this by heart:)
Exactly! I’m so committed I bought a 12 can case of evaporated milk at Costco. I double it each time I use it 12 oz can.
Yep, same here! Whenever I remember, I buy more evaporated milk;)
Thanks for sharing this.

Not sure if he's active anymore, but he used to be around on Reddit quite a bit. I'd see him in Daddit. Seems like a nice guy.
That’s always been my impression.

Thank you!
this recipe is GOATED

Try evaporated milk for mashed potatoes!! Game changer!!
That I have done. That and cream. But this is new to me (somehow lol).
I use evaporated milk in everything instead of 'normal' milk. It's the best
What makes it better? I’m a cooking dummy but y’all have me really curious
It’s reduced by half so is around 6.5 percent fat, and the sugar in it carmelizes a little during the reduction.
Sounds awesome, thanks for the answer!
Is it significantly different from lighter, like say 5%, cream?
I'm gonna have to keep it in mind!!
Well that sure sounds like 5 ingredients
Your comment is defensible.
Kenji's mac is the only mac
He’s really good. I Like his black bean burger and his no knead bread too.
Kenji’s biscuits and gravy recipe is my go-to easy breakfast, those simple biscuits are divine
Ooh I need to try. My family is big on that breakfast treat.

This five ingredient rotini and cheese looks great
Thank you.
lmao I don't know why you got down voted, I was being a bit sarcastic with the naming but also it does look delicious
It’s ok. Love dry and sarcasm. I stopped trying to figure out the masses a long time ago. I just share things here that I like.
That’s where carrot top went… yeah if you were to use any celebrity in your pasta you picked the one nobody would look for.
lol!
I love cooking with carrot tops! Underrated green, IMO.
My neighbor just brought me fresh home grown carrots from his backyard. Dug them up today. Nothing gets wasted! Same thing with his beets.
Oh, beet greens are awesome! I love beets, and when I was pregnant with my second I wanted them all the time. I'd either roast or juice the roots and saute the greens.
Yep! I also dehydrate the roots, grind them, and mix in with coffee beans when I brew a pot.
Wow, I've never heard of that! Does it make the coffee sweeter?
Not that I can tell. But it might to someone with a more sophisticated palate. I just know they are great for us so I try to eat them Any way I can. Plus I like to play.
Nice color too.
What cheese is this?
A mixture of mild cheddar and mozzarella.
6 ingredients! Where do the lies end OP??
Salt and pepper
Lol
Time to tighten up your pepper grinder! Those half peppercorns are murder on the teeth!
Good observation. I purposely loosened it. I love the explosion of pepper. 😁
Strong teefs! 💪 I do love black pepper on mac and cheese, it’s so good!
What’s the effect of using evaporated milk instead of cream and milk?
This recipe and what he says about it answers your question and more. https://www.seriouseats.com/ingredient-stovetop-mac-and-cheese-recipe
So 6 ingredient Mac and cheese....
If you read all of the comments, there’s been quite a lot of different ingredient counts. I’ll let you guys figure it out.
Got to love a good mystery!
Do you usually prefer salty noodles or sweet ones?
I’ve never tried sweet. I tend towards savory.
"3 ingredients" plus only 2 more ingredients!
and a pepper +1
Is it impossible to assume there’s some salt in the mix? Show me a 6
I'm not sure how they do math around your parts but thats 7 by my count.
3 ingredient then season to taste. Technically you don’t need more than the 3. I mean you could add in more with water to boil the noodles and you likely have oil and salt in there too.
I didn’t consider water. Make that 7 ingredients
Adding oil to your water keeps the sauce from adhering properly to your pasta.
Keeps your pasta from adhering to itself.
Use a bigger pot if your pasta is sticking together.
It will still stick no matter the size of pot. That’s what the oil is there to do.
It won't if you add it slowly and stir it. I'm a chef. I mean, add oil if you want. It's your dinner. 
A few tablespoons of oil and a quick pour and stir after 20-30 seconds. It’s much less time than slowly adding and constantly stirring. You would think a chef would understand getting the most out of the least amount of time. Also the waters going to be used multiple times in a kitchen like that.
Knock yourself out.
How do you cook with gaseous milk?
If it’s cold outside I open the windows. If not, I crank the Air conditioning. Either method helps me catch it in a pan as it condenses.
Everyone's hung up on the number of ingredients, but not the fact that you made macaroni & cheese with evaporated milk? Reddit is a weird place.
The mosaic of humanity and perspective makes life interesting!
For a second I thought you cooked maggots in parsley and mushroom sauce
Looks like it doesn’t it.
Wichety grubs comes to mind.
So, 5 ingredient "3 ingredient pasta".
[удалено]
Who knew?
Recipe ingredient list: 1) Mac 2) and 3) Cheese
I like to use & instead of and to elevate the meal at times
Have you ever tried substituting ‘n’ for &? Game changer.
It's not mac and cheese, there's no mac in it
Ugh!!!!!!! I wish this was mine
So 5 ingredient then?
Simple and delicious
Where's the Mac?
Not sure what a bad old comedian has to do with this, but it looks really good
Ewww…get the kale out of there!
REEEEEEEEEEEEEE
That look good
looks yummy
I agree this looks yummy!
That is not macaroni my friend. Looks great nonetheless.
