Is pasta, cheese and gravy really a thing???

Apparently it's a known and common dish? Apparently you bike pasta, stir in grated cheese and put over instant gravy??? 🧐🧐🧐🧐

In Liverpool we used to have "Conny-onny butties". They were gross.

Nigella does marmite spaghetti. Maybe gravy has a similar umami effect!

I like pasta with sauces. I suppose gravy is a sauce. Beef and pasta just doesn't go together for me.

That’s just rank

No spag bol then? No lasagne?

There is a dish called poutine in Quebec which is chips covered in gravy and cheese, but I've never heard of it with pasta - the textures would all be wrong I think.

Yes my son had this the other day (somewhere local not in Quebec), it sounded disgusting.

I think that in the US they refer to pasta sauce as gravy sometime? If I remember rightly I’ve heard them talking of eating this on the Sopranos and it seems to be they are having tomato sauce on the pasta rather than gravy as we think of it.

Poutine is revolting, I tried it to be polite but no, didn’t work. I can’t imagine pasta, cheese and gravy working either but that said if you were genuinely hungry you would eat it, we are fortunate not to have to got through the cupboards looking for anything to eat

Sorry I meant beef gravy. I'm not a fan of spag bol though

Step away from the TikkyTok - nothing good resides there.

Sounds like something students might eat if desperate - rank!!
