Typical of the United States, Mac and cheese (in French: macaroni au fromage) is a saucer comfort food par excellence, those that make us fall back into childhood and make us want to curl up on the sofa in front of a series.
Loved by children and their parents, this recipe is perfect for extremely lazy evenings. Pasta and cheese at will, to be enjoyed after less than half an hour of preparation and cooking, what more could you ask for?
Mac and cheese ingredients (serves 4)
- 250 g of cooked macaroni (or in the absence of shells), al dente
- 225 g of grated cheddar (or other cheese of your choice)

Mac and cheese recipe
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (thermostat 6) and grease a baking dish.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, add the flour, whisking constantly.
- Gradually pour in the milk, stirring so that the mixture thickens and becomes homogeneous.
- Add about half of the grated cheddar, a pinch of nutmeg, salt and pepper.
- Once the mixture is homogeneous, mix it with the cooked macaroni. Pour into a saucepan.
- Sprinkle with the rest of the cheddar and bake for 20 minutes, until the cheese is golden brown.
- Serve hot, with (for a little lightness) a green salad.
Enjoy your meal !
