Fusilli or tagliatelle are far superior for a fine cheese sauce. Also an ex of mine made 'mac and cheese' by boiling some pasta and grating cheese then mixing it up (after draining the pasta obviously). But then she was a cuntress. It should be pointed out that I make an excellent cheese sauce. I'm not your ex but I make macaroni cheese this way if I short of time. Then under grill for a few minutes. Yum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make a fantastic Macaroni and Cheese. I make big batches of it and freeze it for the kids, but i've started steaming a cauliflower, mashing it up and mixing it through so they're getting at least some veg in it. I detest cauliflower, but they fucking love it.

Cauliflower I repulse myself making it, but I steel myself with the knowledge that the kids think it's great. When I make it for myself, no vegetables are harmed in the making. And I use smoked pancetta. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernJambo Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Cauliflower cheese is shite. Boiled eggs and cheese sauce sounds even worse. I'm not that in to cheese sauce, despite adding cheese to almost everything else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milton75 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I like most cheeses, but I don't care for cheese sauces. They're too claggy and overpowering. Also, some classic recipes with cheese sauces just seem like a way to ruin a delicately flavoured ingredient, like Lobster Thermidor, or when people add Parmesan Cheese to their Oysters Rockefeller recipe. Insane. Surely powerful cheeses like Parmesan should be reserved for strongly flavoured foods that can stand up to them, like a good meaty Italian ragu, slow-cooked with loads of wine and herbs in it. You also have to eat them really quickly before they go bogging. Cheese on Toast is only nice for 5 minutes after coming out from under the grill (and I douse it in Lea & Perrins and Tabasco). Macaroni with cheese and cauliflower sauce is pretty much my idea of Food Hell. If I ever get invited on Saturday Kitchen (they've been curiously reticent to call me so far), that's what I'm choosing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 A good cheese sauce should be light but punchy. A good whisking at key stages of it's creation is vital here. The milk/butter/flour must be just right as well or else you'll be in trouble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennboy1978 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Equal amounts of butter and flour (50g of each for me to feed the family) and enough milk to reach you're desired consistency. I use a mature cheddar as I found using mild took forever to get any taste at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a mature cheddar as I found using mild took forever to get any taste at all. *Your. Anyway, I must concur with the use of mature cheddar. But the make of the cheese is important too. Seriously Strong for example is too crumbly and is a pain to grate, and doesn't mix in well to the sauce. Galloway Mature however is ideal as it's got good flavour and grates well. Tesco Mature is a good one to use as well. I always use a coloured cheddar as well, as whilst a white cheese is tasty, you can sometimes add too much, as with coloured cheddar you can see the sauce change colour which is often a good indicator that a taste is required. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
