Macaroni and cheese, also called mac 'n' cheese is a traditional American dish, the recipe has always made me tempting and after revising an old episode of the TV series desperate housewifes, I wanted to try it again. The dish consists of a timbale of pasta topped with a bechamel sauce in which cheeses such as cheddar and parmesan are melted, everything is baked in order to create a creamy paste with a beautiful golden crust on the surface. Obviously, as often happens in these types of preparations, there are numerous recipes and variants I have taken inspiration from hereadjusting just a little the doses according to my taste and I got creamy and tasty macaroni with cheese, just like I expected! That's all for today, I feel a little better, so I'm going to make myself a nice coffee and get back to work, basins: *
