Is it simple or at least possible to run vanilla PHP projects in a Laravel Valet Environment?

The XAAMP local environment is causing my computer to crash whenever I try and run my project in the browser. So, I'm thinking of changing to Laravel Valet.

Since this is a vanilla PHP project I'm working on, can I simply transfer my project into a Valet environment? I ask because I noticed someone else on Laracasts have a real problem setting up plain PHP in Valet. But this was 3 years ago.

Or is Valet only recommended for Laravel projects?

Thanks
