Macaroni and Cheese

Macaroni and Cheese

EverydayCooked

Macaroni and cheese is a classic comfort food consisting of cooked elbow pasta coated in a creamy cheese sauce, typically made from cheddar or processed cheese blends. This calorie-dense dish provides substantial amounts of carbohydrates from the pasta and saturated fats from the dairy components, while offering moderate protein content. Traditional preparations often contain gluten and lactose, though modern variations frequently use alternative ingredients like gluten-free pasta or plant-based cheeses to accommodate dietary restrictions.
