we didn't cook the macaroni long enough

2024-03-27 14:30:44 UTC

It was weird and felt odd measuring exact times on cooking noodles because usually I don’t, but they did turn out well.

2024-03-27 14:30:55 UTC

We definitely mastered the "Undercooked" part...

2024-03-27 14:31:06 UTC

My pasta was a little undercooked, next time i will cook the macaroni longer.

2024-03-27 14:31:13 UTC

We cooked the macaroni too long

2024-03-27 14:31:54 UTC

We made the pasta slightly under cooked but the rest was amazing

2024-03-27 14:32:21 UTC

Undercooked didn’t cook long enough next time I will make sure to cook it longer

2024-03-27 14:32:32 UTC

It was weird having to measure an exact time and at first I didn't remeber to set a timer because I'm not used to that, but it was pretty undercooked.

2024-03-27 14:32:37 UTC

We did not cook the macaroni long enough

2024-03-27 14:33:10 UTC

I think we focused so much on it being al dente because we didn't want it to be mushy it came out a little bit undercooked

2024-03-27 14:33:43 UTC

It was cooked well, tasted well. Got it correct!!

2024-03-27 14:34:04 UTC

I felt like we added too much cheese and it turned into cheese soup instead

2024-03-27 14:34:19 UTC

We made it a little more then what was expected and it came out perfectly and crispy

2024-03-27 14:35:17 UTC

The pasta was good but the texture was weird. Next time we could pay more attention to how our texture will be

2024-03-27 14:36:26 UTC

I think that because we set a timer for 6:30 minutes and after taking a piece of the pasta and figuring out if it needs a minute longed helped getting it close to Al dente but not under or overcooked

2024-03-27 14:38:20 UTC

My mac and cheese was really good like it was not under cooked or over cooked

2024-03-27 14:57:37 UTC

I think that our mac and cheese was a bit undercooked but it was still absolutely delicious.

2024-03-28 14:23:39 UTC

Ended up just cooking the sauce with the noodles after it decided not to cook

2024-03-28 14:30:48 UTC

We set a timer on the lower end of the range and then ate some to make sure it was cooked. I wouldn't do anything differently because that's what I normally do at home.

2024-03-28 14:31:12 UTC

It was perfect,taste was amazing

2024-03-28 14:31:13 UTC

It was good other than being gritty.

2024-03-28 14:31:20 UTC

We cooked ours well, we had trouble making the sauce a little because we didnt have the temp high enough

2024-03-28 14:31:34 UTC

It wasn't too bad it was very gritty.

2024-03-28 14:31:34 UTC

Our pasta turned out well, it wasn't too over or under cooked. And it had good flavor

2024-03-28 14:32:02 UTC

i didn't like it to much i feel like there wasn't enough cheese and very bland.

2024-03-28 14:32:56 UTC

The sauce was taking too long so we just mixed it all a bit early and it came out really good

2024-03-28 14:33:22 UTC

Our pasta was actually cooked pretty well, It came out perfectly. For cooking it we checked how the noodle tasted , Crunch of noodle etc.. We checked the last few minutes and we would check every minute for the last 2 minutes.

2024-03-28 14:33:26 UTC

My pasta was perfect and tasted good but i think i need more time to bake my pasta.

2024-03-28 14:34:51 UTC

It was pretty good but the texture was gritty.

2024-03-28 14:35:01 UTC

Over all it was really good we cooked it perfectly

2024-03-28 14:35:45 UTC

It went great, at first we thought it was partly under cooked but after it went in the oven it was perfectly soft. In advance we were told it didn't have much flavor so we added more cheese, more pepper, and more red pepper, it tasted very good.

2024-03-28 14:37:11 UTC

Turned out great! Some people thought it was too "soupy". Next time, we're adding Broccoli and Bacon.

2024-03-28 14:40:18 UTC

it was so good and my group cooked it perfectly

2024-03-28 15:20:32 UTC

It was good but should have been more seasoned

2024-03-28 15:20:37 UTC

Our pasta was cooked long enough and I feel cooked for a perfect amount and Our cheese probably couldve been better

2024-03-28 15:21:08 UTC

We made a really good pasta and we didn't take that long but it could use some more flavor as it was a little bland. But overall it was really good

2024-03-28 15:21:19 UTC

Our pasta was cooked perfect but the cheese sauce needed some changes

2024-03-28 15:21:35 UTC

The pasta was very very good! The recipe was really easy to follow, and tasted cheesy. All of the directions came up very understandable, and my group cooked everything perfectly.

2024-03-28 15:21:45 UTC

I wish my group had more cheese in the sauce.

2024-03-28 15:21:53 UTC

Mac n Cheese was delicious it was the best I ever had

2024-03-28 15:22:16 UTC

When we cooked it for 7 1/2 minutes it was perfectly cooked and we used the timer and tested it as soon as the timer went off and the pasta was perfect.

2024-03-28 15:22:19 UTC

Macaroni turned out okay.

2024-03-28 15:22:20 UTC

Overall the Mac and Cheese was pretty good, we cooked it well. The only thing that maybe wasn't so good was the cheese.

2024-03-28 15:22:26 UTC

my mac and cheese was nice and creamy, but i feel like my pasta could have been a little less stiff.

2024-03-28 15:22:47 UTC

Cooking the pasta to al dente was a little weird because I've never done it before but I think it turned out well.

2024-03-28 15:23:54 UTC

it was good, i think we did pretty well on making the pasta al dente because it was chewy but not hard and it wasn’t disintegrating when we took it out of the oven

2024-03-28 15:24:00 UTC

We cooked it well and got compliments from both culinary teachers.

2024-03-28 15:24:15 UTC

the mac and cheese my group made i think was perfect. it was the perfect consistency and we put some cheese on the top and stuck it in the oven for 15 minutes to give it a little crunch. afterwards i added crushed red chili pepper to the top. 10/10

2024-03-28 15:24:35 UTC

I burned myself trying to cook. The macaroni & Cheese was Goooooood

2024-03-28 16:17:05 UTC

we cooked it and we were told that we made the best mac and cheese that the teacher had in her class.

2024-03-28 21:16:20 UTC

it was really good

2024-04-15 14:33:25 UTC

it was really soupy mac n cheese

2024-05-07 14:42:57 UTC

it didnt have any flavor really

2024-05-23 20:47:42 UTC

Overall, I would change the recipe because the cheddar cheese in my opinion was not good by itself. I would add a mix of cheeses including swiss cheddar. As far as cooking the noodles I would keep cooking them al dente as I liked that they were not too soft.
