The pasta-bilities are endless!

Chef John you're my inspiration. This morning I was making corned beef and hash from st Paddy's day and I said. "After all you are the Johnny Cash of your corned beef hash." And chuckled to myself.

"Capillary Action" - Chef John

My dad would do it this method when I was a kid. Miss that guy a lot. Thanks for posting this and bringing back memories, CJ.

Great Idea! For my own personal recipe I would subtract the nutmeg and add a little yellow mustard to bring out the cheese flavor.

Chef John is the best!!!

I actually recently did this. I was alone at home and had this kind of pasta laying around. So I cooked them in a mix of cream and milk seasoned with nutmeg, paprika, salt and pepper and dumped in some Gorgonzola. It was some luxurious, amazing stuff👌

Chef John, you are my favorite person I've never met hands down!

You are, after all, the John Cleese of your instant Mac and cheese! Thanks again, Food Dad

I actually made this and it was so freaking delicious! I skipped nutmeg and added powered mustard. Everything I've made using Chef John's recipes have been great. I've made flour tortillas, cran orange meatballs, spicy chickpeas and a few others. All sooo good. I've been reading the blog and watching these videos for about 9 or 10 years now and I've become a better cook along the way. Thanks Chef John!

This man puts a touch of Cayenne everywhere..

A brilliant application of one-pan pasta. Thanks, Chef John!

This came out great. Everything I've learned from Chef John has make me, my girl and our friends happy. There's no way to express the gratitude.

This has seriously blown my mind. Like it’s so simple, but I never thought of it. This has changed mac and cheese for me FOREVER. Farewell, Kraft, it was nice knowing you.

I absolutely love cooking my noodles directly in the sauce! Not only does it skip on a step or two, it helps overall with the flavor

I was always curious about cooking pasta in milk in other recipes - but Chef John has my trust!

My daughter and I made this with the addition of parm cheese and some additional spices and it was completely amazing. Thank you Chef John!

BRAVO!! What a wonderful and easy meal. Thanks Chef John!!!

WOOO been waiting for a great mac and cheese recipe! Love you Chef John!

I've been watching for years. I love how you can hear the smile on his face when he says enjoy lol

My city is under water restrictions right now due to the Nebraska floods, and everyone here is definitely in need of comfort food. This is perfect, Chef John! Thanks for having our back.

Made this tonight but went with Havarti and Sharp yellow cheddar as my cheeses. Skipped the nutmeg because Havarti already brings that subtle nutty flavor. Worked like a charm and tasted incredible. Added to a very long list of family approved Chef John recipes in my house.

Unlike the baked version, this is CREAMY, the way the BEST Mac n cheese's are!!!! WELL DONE Chef John!👍🏼😃

His voice throughout every sentence ➡️➡️↗️⬆️⬆️⬆️↘️⬇️⬇️

You, Chef John, are my hero.

Chef John you are my inspiration !!

Warm bowl = mind blown 🤯

I can hardly wait to make this! The bread crumbs sold me! Thanks Chef John, you rock!

I love your recipes but I love even more when you show us a unique process like this! This is amazing and I can't wait to try!

I dont know why... but your videos really calm me down. If im having a bad day i just want to listen to you and watch you cook☺

I was just looking for a lunch to make and then I see this. Perfect timing

Careful, Chef. Big Cheese might see you as a threat and order a hit. They're krafty devils, these ones.

Once again, Chef John, you saved me from myself! I was actually reading directions on a Kr*ft cup of mac and cheese (left behind by grandchildren), looked inside the cup, and revolted. Found this video, made a small mess in the kitchen, and now have a real (warm) bowl of real food with a side cucumber and tomato salad from the garden. Yum! Thank you for saving me. Keep going. The grandchildren of the world need you!

You are my hero Chef John.

Crispy smoked bacon in with the breadcrumbs is great also

So happy you didnt change when all the good stuff happened for ya!! Love this chan and hope it never changes

Thank you!

I've tried this in an inexpensive pot-style rice cooker that 99% of the time just sits in my cupboard. Anyways, I simmered mixture as stated for 8 min. UNCOVERED on COOK setting, stirring occasionally (DONT USE LID HERE!, it WILL BOIL OVER!!!). Then I switched it to WARM and stirred in the cheeses. I THEN covered it, leaving it on WARM setting for the 3 remaining mins. while I prepared the bread crumbs. It actually came out very good! Funny thing, I NEVER use a rice cooker to make rice, but I may use it now for quick Mac and cheese! Thanks for recipe chef john!!!

Well hello there Wednesday's lunch.

Chef John, of all the people I know, you're one of them.

Love these kinda recipes!

What a beautiful meal, yes the color does look more appealing

I’m going to make this to go along with dinner tonight or tomorrow night- My family devours every recipe of yours that I’ve made. Thank you Chef 🙏🏼 *I’ll make this version for my family. **I’ll also try this recipe with a non-dairy milk, butter and Miyoko’s Cheers to Cheddar spread (also non-dairy) for myself. It’s the closest thing to what I remember sharp cheddar cheese tastes like.

You're the Sally if you please, of your no bake Mac and Cheese

This just blew my mind. Thank you John.

Awesome! Will try this

I haven't watched this yet and I'm going to give it thumbs up as I know this will be so good.

😯 good Mac&Cheese definitely a recipe to try 👍😎👌

This is what I’m taking about. Simple. With no nonsense ingredients.

Chef john were born to be a chef, an amazing chef he is.

I had to use what I had on hand but wanted to help someone else I used unsweetened plain almond milk (1 cup and 1/3 cup) 1 tablespoon of butter I let it come to a simmer then added my pasta I used Rotini ( 1/2 a cup) Cooked until pasta was done(milk mixture should be reduced and thicker once pasta is cooked) Stir and watch constantly Add a dash of salt or season to your taste Then and it does work But do this step AFTER. the pasta is cooked (take off the heat) add I used Kraft Mexican blend cheese Finely shredded and mild sharp finely shredded cheese by Kraft as well didn’t measure Added 1 slice of Kraft slice cheese yes yes I know not real cheese etc again using what I have right now Mix well It doesn’t have a grainy taste doing it this way if you need to use the Kraft finely shredded cheese kind If you need to add more milk to thin out ,add a little at a time I just made this today just now! Not stepping on beloved chef John toes just wanted to help someone else who my not have the funds to get block cheese or need to use what’s in the fridge first, etc Note I only used this method with Finely shredded Kraft or Serrano’s shredded cheese and again when that’s what I had at the moment other times I make it like this video. Not sure how this would work with normal sized shredded cheese but try and see it. Please be kind fellow chef John fans only here to help

Oh yeah, I already do this. Starch from the macaroni thickens it.

Chef John, I’am addictive to your videos Thank you, you the BEST!!

Love all you recipes

Tastes great 👍🏻 If you don’t accidentally drop the open salt shaker in it 🤦🏼‍♀️😅

As a culinary arts graduate I felt that "don't quote me on that for I only have a two year degree" 😂😂😂

This has solidified my love for you Chef john ,AWESOME MAN

The world needs more people like you sir

Mac and Cheese in a Breeze

As soon as I finished watching the video, I went right to my online grocery cart to add the ingredients I don’t already have. I am definitely making this!

Making this for dinner tomorrow. Cant wait, thanks!!!

Oh my goodness that looks so good! Thank you, Chef John!

Looks great! Going to make it for my BF :)

I have to start making it this way! Hubby and I always fight over the crunchy topping. I hate it, he loves it. So I make him take the spoonfuls from the top and I take the portion lower down with no topping.

Amazing. I love it as I cook pasta sometimes with the risotto method. But a touch a parmigiano never goes astray.

I made this with smoked gouda and I think I'm in heaven. Thanks, Chef John!

Chef! Chef!! I bought a little round "chef" kitchen timer (with mustache) and his name is Chef John and he helps make all my food wishes come true :) Edit: :3 You are the Samantha Bee of your mac and cheese!

Wait, I actually did this last week. Like no recipe just went with my gut. It turned out great

Love you chef

This is changing our life right now... So easy and delish. Thank you, chef :)

You are the bee's knees of your "instant" mac and cheese!

First My Virgin Kitchen and now Food Wishes have released a cook in milk mac and cheese recipe? Big Milk has gotten to the KZfaqrs!

I made this today and it's so good!! Very simple and tasty. I added some seasoning to the bread crumb topping and it was the bomb.

@Ryan you said what I was feeling. @ Chef John Thank you!

But don't you worry! Chef John's got your back... ...among other parts... *_`: S_*

Yep, looks good, i prefer these creamy mac/cheese recipes and taste over baked and dry. I scratch on the panko crumbs

So excited to try this!!

So can't wait to try this!

I would still toast the mac and cheese with topping under the broiler for that extra crunch.

I just tried this, I don't know what I did wrong, but the cheese curdled and separated (I'm assuming it was too hot when I added it). It still tasted good, but it looked like a complete mess and very liquid-y.

This recepie looks delicious and healthy, too!!🍝🍝🍝

When you discovered this recipe, were you perhaps in your college days and under some sort of influence? ;) Alongside that double sided cheese grilled cheese you made?

I wondered how he was going to get the pasta soft without boiling... Still looks good to me..altho I like garlic in my Mac and cheese

Why do I always end up watching these at night and then get super hungry 😩

I love you Chef John

I shouldn't eat this. But I'm going to eat this.

Great job Chef John!!! My little chef's thought it was AMAZING!! Thank you for the recipe!

Love the recipe but I love the saucier more!! What size is it?? Oh,and I love you as well, Chef John :-)

Topping mine with french's fried onions. Oh yeah!

Can’t wait to try this !! Looks delicious. Thanks

Yum!! Thank you, Chef John!

First comment 😂 love u guys

The link is not going to the mac and cheese recipe 🤔

Oh my gosh this looks sooo good!

I’m blown away by how simple this recipe is.

I've made this maybe 6 times since you've posted this video, please send help.

Chef John please make something Arabic, maybe spinach pies?
