    Thank you Food52 and Ottoleghi. Yotam and Noor are both charming and educational. I love their detailed instruction from adjusting the heat to substitutions. As one of the few who dislikes Mac & Cheese I would like to make and sample this. Great teachers who are entusiastic are hard to find in cooking videos. Please bring this team back many more times.

    Really nice to see people being open minded in this comment section, rather than “this isn’t Mac and Cheese” type comments I’d usually see on pasta recipe videos.
    Think this looked great!

    I’ve just subscribed! I first got discover Middle Eastern food in Lebanon.. I was there for 18 months less than nine years ago.. boy that was a revelation! And ever since I came back home( Norway) I try to always make food from your wonderful region and I always look for restaurants and food shops from the Levantine countries. Thank you for sharing your wonderful gastronomy! Most Norwegians aren’t familiar with it and don’t realize that your food is twice better than Italian and French food.

    Not a fan of pesto usually, but the zatar instead of basil sounds great, and the dish looks delicious.

    Not only do these two have great repartee, they also have great rapport. This recipe looks amazing -- taking the mundane and making it marvelous. And I would be remiss if I didn't mention the great fashion that both Noor and Yottam are sporting. Thanks for the OTK team on Food52.

  • @EvanTreempire
    @EvanTreempire 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Oh, good lord - I don't even like mac & cheese, but this was out there enough that I made it tonight and...holy crappe, that's fantastic! I would never think lemons, cilantro, and...cheese? would go well together, but the combination is unbelievably good! And of course anything is better with fried onions (shallots, in my case).
    I'm a little amused at the recipe saying you can make the pesto while the pasta cooks - with all that milk in there, you really have to stir down the pasta at least every minute to keep it from foaming over the top of the pan. My advice is to make the pesto first and then wash the food processor while the pasta's cooking.

  • @jodrew1845
    @jodrew1845 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm stealing that za'atar pesto. Also, as a plant based eater(vegan diet), I would omit the dairy and fold hummus into the pasta, then top with pesto and proceed with the onions🌰🌰🌰
    Thanks for totally inspiring us❤

    Fried onions on mac and cheese not a thing ... ask the german counterpart "Käsespätzle", they are allways served with fried onions ;-)

  • @ebarrood
    @ebarrood 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    you should fry the onions in 2 or 3 batches

  • @Hollis_has_questions
    @Hollis_has_questions ปีที่แล้ว

    ALERT THE MEDIA: The rare recipe where I wouldn’t change a thing! ❤ Those lemon/feta “bombs” really wake up an otherwise sort of bland American-ish tradition (like bologna + mayonnaise - or worse, Miracle Whip - on cottony white bread). But I wonder that you don’t use preserved lemon very much, both rind and pulp - why is that? Also, is British cheddar different from American cheddar?
    ETA: I changed my mind. THE MAC & CHEESE WITH INGREDIENTS THAT NEED TO BE COOKED: Using sharp white cheddar and feta. Making confit tomatoes and garlic, then using the confit oil to make the pesto. Stirring baby spinach into pasta in last 5-10 minutes. Topping the mac & cheese with first the drained tomatoes and garlic, next the za’atar pesto. Sprinkle over minced green onions.

    @grangebateliere ปีที่แล้ว

    This is not a criticism but a suggestion: Edit out Noor's recommendation about replacing milk with veg broth to make the dish vegan. Mac 'n cheese is by definition NOT vegan due to the "cheese".

    If you want to make the best Mac and cheese as a base for your version, you need to work with a black American from the south.....They make the best in the world. In my opinion.
