Has anyone added extra liquid to be able to cook the macaroni in the sauce

Have made macaroni cheese by making the sauce first then boiling the pasta, keeping the cheese sauce hot in the Varoma basket whilst the pasta is cooking, but have never tried cooking it all in one.  If you try it, let us know how you get on  :)

I love this sauce and in regards to the pie making thread and the mention of scallop pies, this would make a mean scallop pie!

Made this tonight for the first time - yum!

Definitely much much better than the EDC version but is it only that this version you add more cheese ?  It just seems so much nicer but amazing that one little Tweek makes all the difference !

You can never have too much cheese in a cheese sauce IMHO  ;D

I'm sure it will be much easier for you with them all in one place. I sometimes think a blog would be good, bit I don't know where I would find the time. Much better to read everyone else's. :)

I made a cheesy, vegie pasta bake using this sauce tonight and it was fantastic! Mum really loved it, which is good because it was quite a large pasta bake ;D
I steamed some broccoli and cauliflower and put it in a big casserole dish, then topped it with some cooked angel hair pasta and a tin of salmon which I had drained and flaked. I poured the cheese sauce over the top and mixed it around a bit, topped woth breadcrumbs and a light spray of olive oil, and then baked it for 25 minutes :)

I make this on a Sunday and my Son takes it to school for lunch. I add veggies and some diced bacon. His Teacher loves that it is something gluten free that he can have at lunch and she is more than happy to heat it up for him. I use corn flour and gluten free pasta and it really is so yum!

Made this for the first time tonight. Had it with some spiral pasta, bacon, mushroom and spring onion. Really lovely although perhaps a little bit too mustardy for that application. Will have remainder with broccoli and cauliflower tomorrow.

I added smoked paprika rather than cayenne.  Also used 200g of cheese, plain flour (had run out of cornflour) and light lactose free milk. Was very pleased with the final texture.

I too love this cheese sauce but as I cook just for me I am wondering if I can freeze a portion too? I know that it is quick to make but it is simply not the same when making a single portion and just too much with this recipe.
