History of macaroni and cheese
The first to prepare macaroni and cheese would have been the French, traces of which can be found in a 14th century cookbook. They were then released in America by President Thomas Jefferson who tasted them on a visit to the French in the 1700s, bringing the recipe to the United States: the mac'n cheese spread in a very short time in all the American kitchens.

Prepare the cheese by cutting the cheddar into small pieces. (1) Put the butter and flour in a saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until it forms a creamy sauce. Add the previously heated milk, bring to the boil and add the cheddar, grated Parmesan, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Stir to create a thick and smooth cream similar to béchamel (2) Cook the short pasta you have chosen and drain it al dente. Put it in a bowl, pour in the cream cheese and mix well. Take a baking dish, butter it and sprinkle it with breadcrumbs, pour your macaroni and cheese, sprinkle with grated Parmesan and cook in the oven at 200 ° for 20 minutes or until the surface is golden.

Tips
Instead of cheddar you can also use other cheeses such as Emmental and Fontina, or combine them all together, the important thing is that they are soft cheeses with a strong taste. Furthermore, as an alternative to grated Parmesan, you can use pecorino.

If you wish, you can also add a little bacon to give your macaroni cheese even more flavor.

To prevent the dish from becoming too salty, add a little salt when cooking the pasta: the cheese used for the mac'n cheese, in fact, is already quite savory. In this way you will balance the taste of the recipe to the best.

How to store macaroni and cheese
You can keep the mac'n cheese in the fridge for 2 days covered with plastic wrap.
