For one, you can’t make mac and cheese with just pasta, cheese, and seasoning. The cheese won’t melt correctly. You need to make a roux or use a modern method like incorporating evaporated milk or sodium citrate. Lack of knowledge of how to cook is a big reason why people buy this stuff, on top of convenience.
- maxerickson 6y agoPasta and cheese that isn't in a sauce is pretty good too.

- rng_civ 6y agoI've gotten some pretty good results just using the left over pasta-water with some flour. AFAIK, the cheese I'm using doesn't have anything particularly special (some cheap hard cheddar). I don't even grate it, just chop it up a little before adding it to the water.
- oivey 6y agoFlour is the key component in a roux. The only difference is cooking the flour in some butter to remove the raw flavor. FYI, that combination is called a béchamel sauce. Edit: actually béchamel had some milk also, but yeah
