The Origins of Mac And Cheese Started In The 14th Century
BY KAREN HART
Macaroni and cheese has a long history dating back to the 1300s in Naples, where the cookbook "Liber de Coquina" may contain the first iteration of the dish.
According to History Dollop, the recipe used sheet noodles adorned with grated cheese, resembling lasagna. Guinness World Records considers it the original mac and cheese.
A later version of this recipe appeared in 1390. However, it wasn't until the 1400s that the hollow, tube-shaped macaroni pasta was first created.
