Hey bro, I enjoy your low calorie recipes & in particular ice cream videos! If I may suggest: try to boil your pasta in a small amount of water (just enough to cover the noodles) & pull the pasta a bit sooner (when it's al dente), do not rinse it, then you will retain all the starches that were washed away - this is the reason sauces don't stick to your noodles. The glue is being diluted in a huge amount of water and also rinsed away. You can get Penne or even spaghetti noodles to cling to sauce with this technique.
Thanks for the tip dude! I’ve done the small amount of water to cook pasta without draining it for single serve pasta recipes, but never for a big batch. I should try it out!
Don't you want to wash away the starch of the pasta? You will lower the glycemic load of the pasta if it's cooked longer and rinsed really well. It might take away from the sauce's ability to stick to it as well, but it's better for not getting too carried away with carbs.
Holy Rahul, I swear you are definitely spying me! Literally I was just about to cook up some mac and cheese along with a simple cloud pizza for my next meal. Then boom, looks like the next meal is gonna be extra anabolic. Keep it up👍👍👍
Make this even better by seasoning the chicken with a little bit of boiled soy sauce, honey, and Laioganma spicy chili crisps. I tried it and it was delicious
crazy Im making anabolic mac and cheese right now. gonna try this tomorrow! Edit: you can get smooth cottage cheese thats not as clumpy, its what i use to make caesar salad dressing
@@RahulKamatyou said you did it to stop the cooking process, what i do is take it out early, like right before al dente, to take account for the continuing cook
I’m against making too many dishes/pots to wash. Rather than cold rinse the macaroni, just rinse and toss back in the hot pot with the sauce. I would also add frozen mixed veggies to the boiling water at the end of the macaroni cooking time. I love your idea of adding the chicken.
Sadly my doc has me low carb, low fat and low sugar. Basically an all ice water diet 😅😅 I wonder if I use protein pasta if the fiber outweighs the carb part 🤔
I'm on keto and I eat shirataki or konjac noodles. They're super bland and the texture is off, so I try to make a really good and flavourful sauce to cancel the awkwardness of the noodles. Anyway give shirataki noodles a try.
This recipe has astronomical sodium content between the cheese powder, added shredded cheese, and the cottage cheese. I recommend using no salt added cottage cheese whenever possible, because a lot of varieties have 400-500mg PER 1/2c SERVING.
@Amit yeah I'm not a fan of artificial sweeteners. I'd rather use a very small amount of real sugar than all the "calorie free" sweeteners. No such thing as a free lunch, so it can't be good for us.

thats some sussy way to cook chicken , cold pan in a clump 🤣🤣, BUT the final product looked gasss and for some reason i have cottage cheese in my fridge soooooooooooo , we making it today
Just made it and its actually so good lmao , just cut the recipe in half for one box and i added a bit of the pasta water for a thinner sauce , used my hand blender with a fried chicken thigh and hot sauce 😁😁 About to sleep like a baby
Thanks bro, hair feels healthier after not being at a very low body fat. I’ve been bulking and gained body fat and everything is better now. Overall less stress on your body mentally and physically when you feed it more food
Too many calories for me. Now if you were to change that macaroni pasta over for some Konjac pasta, that would probably be an amazing option if you really need lower calories.
Aren’t the cheese packets like 500 calories alone? 1000 calories for cheese, 250 per serving. The pasta is like 350 per serving that’s 600 calories by itself, am I missing something?
I like most of your recipes but this one doesnt fit your M.O. You generally make normal foods with less calories. In this recipe you literally add calories with the cottage cheese and cheddar. For people who struggle with portion control, this little bowl of mac and cheese at 500 calories is not going to be sustaining or filling. I know youve added protein but what good is that to someone who overeats? Why not just eat the regular mac and cheese, which is already delicious and then add chicken or beef?
Why? 1 cup Cottage Cheese = 25g protein… it’s not a “low calorie” recipe it’s “high protein” so he adds meat AND makes the sauce higher protein than if made with the box recommended basic fats (milk/butter)
Tell me you don't know what nutrition, diet and exercise is without telling me 🤣 First off, you obviously don't work out. Second off, the sodium, cholesterol and simple carbs in this is enough to give you a stroke and diabetes! The water retention from the sodium would bloat tf out of you! Wait until you're not in your 20s and try eating this 😅
I mean, he lost a lot of weight so he clearly knows what dieting and exercise are... Nutrition may have its holes, like in this case with the sodium and simple carbs, but that can be alleviated by substituting whole grain pasta and using no-salt-added cottage cheese instead. Without adding all the salt from the cottage cheese, I'd say it's a healthier alternative to using whole milk and butter for the standard preparation.

Would the same technique work if you boiled the pasta in bone broth instead of water?

Yes! Thank you for sharing this video! I'm certainly going to try this sauce!
Yum! I can’t wait to try this!!😊
I just tried the recipe and these mac n cheese taste great. Thanks a lot, Rahul you are a lifesaver
Oh My Gosh!!!!! I can’t wait to try this!!!!! Thank you!!!!
Holy Rahul, I swear you are definitely spying me! Literally I was just about to cook up some mac and cheese along with a simple cloud pizza for my next meal. Then boom, looks like the next meal is gonna be extra anabolic. Keep it up👍👍👍
This is an awesome idea! I’m starting to see mac & cheese powders online so this sauce could potentially be a killer dip or sandwich spread!
Making this for my husband. Thank you. Great idea. ✨💃🏻
brooooooo! i had some cottage cheese i had to use, you came in clutch brother!!
I made your recipe and omg it’s the BOMB!! I love it
Thank you for your videos, really creative.
Thank you :)
I just love your enthusiasm 😊

Holyy shit that looks crazy good macos and the mac n cheese I need to make this ASAP!! thank you!

Love it!❤❤❤
🕺🕺🕺
Great recipe!! Could I possibly substitute the Cottage cheese for high protein greek yoghurt? Would it still work protein content wise?
Bro you are the goated fasho fasho
Buff chicken and mac and cheese, great combo. Looks good 👍🏼
Buff chicken mac too good
In the UK, we had mac and cheese topped with pulled pork. Best thing ever!@@RahulKamat
crazy Im making anabolic mac and cheese right now. gonna try this tomorrow!
Edit: you can get smooth cottage cheese thats not as clumpy, its what i use to make caesar salad dressing
You can!? I’ve never seen it
@@RahulKamat containers will sometimes say spreadable, creamy, or even whipped
Tuna is a great flavor and protein addition to Mac n' Cheese.
That everything seasoning is so damn good!
Right dude!
2:31 NOOOOOOOOOOO! Cardinal sin dude, don't rinse your pasta! You're rinsing off the starch on the surface that helps sauces cling to the pasta!!!!!
oh my science not le heckin starch
Buttt if I don’t rinse it it gets too clumpy

MANS A LEGEND
Got any low cal recipes that involve pudding mix?
how do you know how many calories are in the cheese packets
Could we do this without the cottage cheese and just use milk or soemthing ? Then just add protein powder to the milk / sauce mix
I'm going to try the cottage cheese! :)
Lmk what you think!
So does that powdered cheese have calories or no?
I’m against making too many dishes/pots to wash. Rather than cold rinse the macaroni, just rinse and toss back in the hot pot with the sauce. I would also add frozen mixed veggies to the boiling water at the end of the macaroni cooking time. I love your idea of adding the chicken.
Yep
How many calories in the cheese packet?
Just use banza Mac and cheese to start with so you’re high protein out the jump
You can also add a can of chicken,
drained 25-45 more protein
mmmmmmm quick and easy
Nice! Would this work with jalapenos for a nacho cheese sauce?
Oooh it definitely would! Love that idea
Recipe for low-calorie cinnamon rolls or other desserts. Greetings 👋

Yo, what blender is that? Looks really nice
This one from zwilling! amzn.to/3JjKXxE
I would have just used the same pot used to cook the pasta.
V clever
My blender is not as good:(
I promise you that if you invested in a nice microphone from the ad revenue you’re making, the quality of your vids will skyrocket. Keep going man!
I should get one, thank you!
would greek yogurt work instead of cottege cheese?
I think so, might be less cheese flavor though
I love Mac and Cheese I'm try it this out I'm a big cheese head

The added salt wasn’t necessary, especially when you add an additional packet of powdered cheese.
If that's the kitchen imagine what the bathroom looks like😮
I thought this was the bathroom

Agreed, I can't stomach no salt added cottage cheese on its own but with this there is already so much in the cheese packets that it would work
Didn’t you know protein n sugar substitutes is all you need for healthy diet 🤡
@Amit yeah I'm not a fan of artificial sweeteners. I'd rather use a very small amount of real sugar than all the "calorie free" sweeteners. No such thing as a free lunch, so it can't be good for us.

Wow. The pan being way to small for all the mac n cheese made me feel seriously uncomfortable lmao.
Should have used the pot he boiled the macaroni
I made it work ok!

Buffalo sauce has Butter you just refuse to use butter. Butter is healthy
Measurements for 1 serving pls
Just measure the entire final product and divide by how many servings you want
What if i can't find 2% cottage cheese? All i see is 4%, 1%, and 0% 😢
Use any of them

food looks good, you look good, please please clean your microwave oven 😮
Might as well some nutritional yest
Ooh good idea
Comparing calories of cottage cheese to protein bars come on they are not the same 😂
Clean your microwave!!!
Please!!
Mind your business 😂 maybe he doesn’t feel like it.
Lolol whoops I had fried rice exploding in it
Clean your mouth 😅
Dude when I saw this comment I thought it was gonna end up being a real biohazard. That’s nothing, I’ve seen so much worse
