Macaroni and cheese (also known as mac and cheese in Canada and the United States and macaroni cheese in the United Kingdom[2]) is a dish of macaroni and a cheese sauce, most commonly cheddar sauce.[3][4]
Its origins trace back to cheese and pasta casseroles dating to the 14th century in Italy and medieval England. The traditional macaroni and cheese is a casserole baked in the oven; however, it may be prepared in a sauce pan on top of the stove or using a packaged mix.[4] The cheese is often first incorporated into a Béchamel sauce to create a Mornay sauce, which is then added to the pasta. In the United States, it is considered a comfort food.[5][6]
