Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make mac and cheese without maida using Bambino macaroni?
Bambino macaroni is made from durum wheat semolina not maida — making it a healthier base for mac and cheese. Simply use a flour-butter-milk roux for the cheese sauce and combine with cooked Bambino macaroni.
Which cheese works best for Indian-style mac and cheese?
Cheddar melts smoothly and gives the classic mac and cheese flavour. You can mix mozzarella for stretchiness or processed cheese for creaminess. For an Indian twist, add a pinch of turmeric and black pepper to the sauce.
How do I make mac and cheese creamy without it drying out?
Add a little reserved pasta water to your cheese sauce the starch helps bind it and keep it creamy. Don't overcook Bambino macaroni; cook it al dente so it doesn't turn mushy when mixed with the hot sauce.
