Bowland Cheddar for the perfect Mac ’n’ Cheese
Mac ’n’ Cheese is a delicious dish combining macaroni pasta and cheese sauce to create a beautiful and satisfying meal. It is of course possible to incorporate other ingredients such as chicken, meat and even breadcrumbs.
The traditional way to cook macaroni cheese is as a casserole and baked in the oven but alternatively it could be prepared in a sauce pan on the stove. The cheese is often first incorporated into a béchamel cause to create a mornay sauce which is then added to the pasta.
Pasta and cheese casseroles date back to the 14th century and a dish of parmesan cheese and pasta was recorded in the Italian medieval cookbook ‘Liber de Coquina’.
A cheese and pasta casserole known as ‘makerouns’ was also recorded in the14th century medieval English cookbook the ‘Forme of Cury’. The recipe was based on fresh, hand-cut pasta sandwiched between a mixture of butter and cheese. Delicious!
