Who the fuck eats pasta and rice?
Carbivores?
I thought they went extinct during the late Diabetassic
No, those were the Glucosaurs.
The carbivores roamed the Earth during the Carbiniferous time period, when the great noodle rains and ricevalances happened.
Not the most pressing question I had but we can start there I geuss.
Struggle dinner
Not me. Not without mashed potatoes and gravy.
You know that there's no real rules about food, you can eat whatever you want with whatever you want, you can make a cheese and mayo sandwich using weetbix as the bread if you want.
Your stomach will tell you when you've fucked up.
Tell it to r/ItalianFood
Nawww, then I have to go to Reddit.. can't I just offend the Italians on here?
Just avoid salting your pasta water. It's easy.
Yeah I don't salt my pasta water, I chuck a shit tonne of chicken stock in there.
Somewhere, an Italian grandmother has died of shock.
I'ma sorry.
Rice and vermicelli is rice and pasta, and it’s wildly common, especially the cheap bagged side dish stuff.
So I guess I do.
As a person of Pacific Islander descent, rice is awesome and goes with everything.
Also if you're on a budget rice is a cheap way to fill your stomach.
Can't be that bad, can it? I mean, pasta + cheesy cream sauce is a pretty tried and true combo.
Points for experimenting at least.
I'd try it.
Very few cheese sauces incorporate egg for a good reason. That assumes you give the poster the benefit of the doubt that they're using real ingredients. Based off the pictures it's more likely bagged pre-shredded cheese and jarred mayo which probably congreals into an emulsified hunk. Plus the amount of oil here will make you shit your pants

Don't mind me, just putting way too much cheese in my carbonara again...
Carbonara is just egg and cheese.
Does no one know how to make a roux? If you already had the cheese, I'm sure you had maybe some butter or oil on hand and some flour.
Butter or oil sure. You might be surprised how many people do not keep flour handy.
Last time we bought flour we had moths coming out of it like a year later
you need to make more sauce!
Also you need glass/metal/plastic containers
𝅘𝅥𝅮that's a mornay
Flour and butter are certainly cheaper than mayo
People know how to make one. The real difference here is caring to make one. It adds a noticeable amount of time and effort. In many cases, if the dish isn't outright offensive and you can just shovel it down, then the end goal is achieved.
Lotta food crime up in here. What the food feds doing about this?
They are in a food coma so nothing unfortunately
Mayonnaise is mostly oil and egg, which is kind of more akin to carbonara than Alfredo. That said, it has a sourness that isn't going to mesh the same way-- basically, vinegar and/or lemon juice, which one generally wouldn't want much of (if at all) in something meant to be creamy. Main reason I don't particularly like it as a butter substitute in grilled cheese.
Knowing what goes into things like mayo, ketchup, Sriracha, etc, can work well when you're in a pinch, though. It's just harder to control the ratio of sugars, salts, and sour components so you have to offset that elsewhere.
I've been in between paychecks and eaten worse than that.
alfredo sauce?
isn't that pasta water and butter?
I'm a terrible cook personally, but my wife is fantastic at this stuff. Just FYI, you want a delicious cheese sauce, all you need is some milk or half & half, butter, and cheese. If you want it thicker, use less milk, or add a bit of cream cheese. Heat at a simmer and keep warm.
If you let it cool, it will firm up some and makes for a good cracker dip.
This is basically a war crime.
This is my first day on lemmy. This photo might make it the last.
Aww I'm sorry. Welcome to Lemmy!
