Final Thoughts

The Buldak Mac & Cheese Carbonara features an amazing noodle texture and a great spice level. I love how you first taste the rich ramen, and then the spiciness kicks in after. However, if you’re looking for a stronger cheesy flavor, I recommend adding a splash of milk—it’s just not quite there without it. Also, if you are sensitive to heat, I recommend only using half of the spice packet.
