Can I use water instead of milk in mac and cheese?

How much pasta water can I substitute for milk? In a 1:2 substitution ratio, I used the pasta water to replace the milk. In the case of a 7.25oz box of macaroni and cheese, this means adding 2 tablespoons of pasta water. Pasta water can be added at this point to help emulsify the cheese powder mixture.

Can I use chicken broth instead of milk in mac and cheese?

Macaroni and cheese can be made without the milk by using chicken broth instead. In terms of creaminess, it won’t come close, but it will add some savory flavor. If you’re lactose intolerant, you can use chicken broth as a dairy substitute.
