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.
Praise the noodley appendage! Ramen
Not the most pressing question I had but we can start there I geuss.
Not me. Not without mashed potatoes and gravy.
Struggle dinner
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.
nah just reading that samdwich recipe my stomach lets me know someone fucked up somewhere
Brb, making a cheese and mayo on weetabix
You're gonna need a big drink with that tho.
Nobody's saying it's against the rules. But certain rules are just unwritten because it's gross. It's not like the pasta alone is an insufficient portion anyway.
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.
Rice and vermicelli is rice and pasta, and it’s wildly common, especially the cheap bagged side dish stuff.
So I guess I do.
That... doesn't seem bad? No one would mind if he also put some vegetables in there and called it a pasta salad.
Hoenstly just add some green peas, a little black pepper and that would sound pretty good to me!
I'd try it. Like Mr cum fart pointed out the real crime is the pasta main with rice side
Pasta with cheese and mayonnaise seems like it could be alright. Rice is the weird one here imo
Wouldn’t that be added when the pasta is cold? I get the feeling OOP did this with hot pasta, possibly even heating the mayonnaise to make it more “like” Alfredo sauce.
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...
Was seriously thinking the same thing man. I like to cook and have spent a lot of time working LOA jobs far from anywhere you can get good ingredients. Probably gonna try it tomorrow just to see.
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.

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 mean... so a hot pasta salad?
This is basically a war crime.
Lotta food crime up in here. What the food feds doing about this?
They are in a food coma so nothing unfortunately
I've been in between paychecks and eaten worse than that.
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.

alfredo sauce?
isn't that pasta water and butter?
That meal is for a man who doesn’t want to shit in a week
This is my first day on lemmy. This photo might make it the last.
Aww I'm sorry. Welcome to Lemmy!
