    Was pretty good. All the cheese is melted on the inside of the noodles. For just over 100 cals it is decently filling. (There is 350g of veggies in the other bowl as well though)

    I haven't had real mac and cheese in a LONG time. Not for caloric reasons, it's just not a big favourite of mine so not a whole lot to compare to.

    For the amount of noodles I had, real pasta would be an extra 200 cals so easy to fit in. (But I prefer to use my carbs on better stuff than that :smile:)

    This thread piqued my mac-n-cheese craving as well, so I used the Veggetti to make squash pasta, than added cheese sauce made from butter, cheese & cream.

    Nom Nom Nom Nom

    Not 42 kcal. Maybe 450 for a gigantic serving.

    Great review. Thanks for taking the time.

    Looks like it isn't that bad according to people who tried it. Never knew about dry roasting the noodles! I'm glad some people are sticking to the main point of the thread which is the recipe instead of talking about whether or not the OP has an eating disorder which is definitely not on topic. AHEM.

    Rinse the noodles 3 or 4 times. Do this while breathing through mouth only :tongue:
    Then instead of boiling or steaming you just put them on a hot fry pan. Much crispier.

    I made it again last night and added bacon and veggies. Bloody good :smile:

    Lordy, this thread had almost everything. Ridiculously low calories, mention of cauliflower, gross tofu noodles, white knights, butthurt, rage deactivations and people who don't know who Trog is.
    That's quite enough internet for today.

    Thank you very much for trying, taking the time to report back (with pics even), and sharing your tips. Much appreciated!!!

    I didn't read this whole thread, so forgive me if this is redundant. I have found shiritaki noodles are horrible in Italian dishes or "american" dishes (like mac and cheese) but are not bad in Asian dishes. The trick is to quickly stir fry them after cooking with just a little spray oil. NO, it's not like the 'real" pad thai, but you can make a pretty good fake one with these.

    That does not sound good at all.
