How to Make MACARONI and CHEESE Like an Italian

I detest American mac ‘n’ cheese. One of my earliest memories is of a very poor baby sitter who forced me to eat it (and shut me in a closet as a punishment). I had a very strong appetite as a child, but mac wasn’t on the list. This pasta a quattro formaggio looks quite tasty though.

[@ahmadxaea-136]

Vincenzo, I have galactosemia and can only eat a few lactose free cheese, but I am craving the macaroni and cheese my mother made growing up.

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. Your recipe, using the pasta water to do the thickening, plus the different cheeses to get the texture is really quite remarkable, I'll have to give it a try!. Thank you.

[@toms66gtstang]

Vincenzo, that looks delicous, but most of us in the US, make it the same way. We might use different cheeses, but the kraft boxed product isn't what most of us use. 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.

[@Niyucuatro]

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.

[@strawberrymins]

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]

Hi, that's such a great story! I'm so glad you found pecorino and that it worked out so well for your dish. It's such a versatile cheese and it can be used in so many different dishes. I'm also glad that you still love it today!

[@CantEscapeFlorida]

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

[@CantEscapeFlorida]

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.

I've never tried those awful looking boxes of mac and cheese and never would. In the Caribbean where I lived for many years, mac and cheese was a much beloved side dish, known as macaroni pie. And my mum brought us up on mac and cheese when times were tight, so I guess I've sampled quite a few recipes for mac and cheese during my 75 years of life, some of which are very superior to others. What makes all the difference to me is that it must, must, must contain enough cheese of good flavour. After that, anything goes for me, but yours looks like a winner!

Hi Vincenzo. I thought I would comment on a few points regarding this and the video you made reviewing Kraft Mac & Cheese. First, it’s popular in America because of the cost which is obvious. Due to me having a disability (lupus) I can’t work, money is tight so I go to my local food pantry. Often they will have boxed Mac & Cheese. I really have never been a fan. I am part Native American so digesting a big portion of cheese isn’t something I can do without chemical help. But I will take it from them because it’s free. Many people are in my situation or worse. So they really don’t have a choice. It’s not about getting a cheaper car. It’s about just feeding their kids or not. But you are right it’s a box full of chemicals, and the US government promotes it. Second, we can get nice elbow macaroni in the US from De Cecco or Gustare. So we don’t have the same problem you might have getting that shape. I think there are even artisan brands made for the American market. Third, Mac & Cheese is more of an international cuisine than solely Italian. Yes Romans were making a (Porto)pasta with cheese like 2000 years ago, but we have the Swiss to thank for the elbow shape and processed cheese. Kraft read about the process and adopted it. There are two channels you might want to visit if you haven’t already, that discuss the history of Mac & Cheese, namely Townsends, and Tasting History with Max Miller. They also make two different period recipes. Lastly, many people, myself included, don’t usually make boxed Mac & Cheese. There is a long history of making Mac & Cheese namely by African Americans as part of soul food. America’s Test Kitchen has very good recipe that is light years ahead of the box of chemicals. I hope this helps. Oh it was also a nice recipe that you made. It might be a bit difficult for me to get all those ingredients though.

What was that classical music in the background? 😊

If I wanted to add some guancale or something to this what is the best way to do it? just fry it with the butter in the beginning?

[@vincenzosplate]

Yes exactly

[@jonathont7866]

@@vincenzosplate I'm going try this next time I make it. I made it once already and it was delicious but the provolone didn't melt properly - I think it was because I used provolone piccante, next time I'll try using the young provolone

[@vincenzosplate]

Hahah oh yes it is 🤤

So we can use brie instead of Tallegio? This requires a lot of cheese. I wanna make this!

[@vincenzosplate]

Yess!

[@awake6009]

would radiatori be ok for this recipe?

[@anp1609]

now I'm confused which one to make- the 4 cheese pasta or the macncheese. Both videos were so good!

[@vincenzosplate]
