How to Make MACARONI and CHEESE Like an Italian

Macaroni and cheese is a dish traditionally made up of just a few ingredients and can be likened to many simple Italian recipes, but today “Mac and cheese” is widely known as a quick meal prepared from one box (using very artificial ingredients) and it’s definitely something that sends shivers up the spine of Italians, including me! In this recipe, I will show you my own version, a true Italian macaroni and cheese - and let me tell you, this dish will make you say ‘Mamma mia!’ thanks to its delicious taste, creamy texture and cheesy ingredients. Would you ever go back to using packet Macaroni and cheese pasta again?

Let's not forget that the recipe that arribed to the usa was a french thing, that has it's own history separated to your italian recipe. It's a mornay sauce. A mix of bechamel and cheddar cheese, the good stuff, not pre-melted cheese product. And if done home made it's also a really good dish with an amazing taste that is much better than the boxed stuff. And from the small amount of research, the origins of this dish seem to go back to 14th century england.

[@grasspickinD28]

Looked a little dry at the end... more pecorino and pasta water... you are my favorite Italian chef, my roots are from northern Italy, Agorto

[@ericpeterson9110]

The origins of Mac and cheese are indeed murky but it seems like the modern versions trace back to France and England, which makes sense since there was a lot of cross polination, especially between nobility during that time period. Really more of a pan-western european dish than Italian.

[@JoeZasada]

French royalty and nobility used to hire Italian chefs, which is why there are so many similarities between French and Italian cooking. E.g. Beschemel sauce was brought to Italy by a chef from Tuscany who worked for Catherina de Medici.

Years ago, I was at a cheese tasting once for bigger culinary purposes, and I was there with my grandma also looking for a cheese to put in the pasta. I came across the pecorino and fell in love with the cheese thinking this is probably what is gonna suit the dish the best. Then I found out later it is the accurate type of cheese to use! I was so proud of myself for choosing the right cheese out of so many! And I still love the cheese so much today!

@@vincenzosplate It is in the oven right now. I think I made a mistake with the mozzarella though, added it too early and too fast or so. Suddenly I had one big glob of cheese in the sauce. I tried getting it creamy with the starchy water, but it didn't work so well or maybe I was impatient...so I added some flour and that helped to emulsify it. I hope I did not ruin it.

Very interesting, I've been making the French (I guess) derived recipe: white sauce using butter, flour and milk, then adding cheese (parmesan and whatever soft cheese I can get here in New Zealand). For crispiness grating bread over the top and then baking for approx 20 minutes as usual.

Maybe in poorer areas where it's harder to find good fresh ingredients, but most of us do it very similar to this. The boxed Mac & cheese was more popular decades ago.

[@luisguerrero86]

If you were to make a bechamel sauce it would keep the cheese from solidifying when it get cold. It will also help when you need to reheat it it will go back to the creamy goodne it was when first cooked.

You can get unsmoked, or you could even do the smoking yourself it would be better using wood chips.

The store stuff usually uses liquid smoke which isnt great

[@saltycrow]

Radim, I have the same issue in Pa. All the provolone is smoked. Except those presliced packages (kraft I think) but they taste like rubber & have a rubbery texture. The smoked provolone is too sharp for me. I quit buying it cause no one would eat it. Central Pa has no advertrous eaters and we don't have any kind of cultural/ethnic markets in town. The closest thing we do have are farmers markets, but if you can even find cheese at one of those, it'd be goat cheese. I've seen a really soft "farmers cheese" once or twice. It looks like ricotta sort of.
