Pasta & Noodle

While scholars attribute the early origins of noodles to ancient China, it was in the Mediterranean that the dried pasta we know and love today was refined. Pasta is one of the world’s most beloved comfort foods and a wonderful blank culinary canvas for an almost endless array of warm, baked and cold preparations. The first recorded baked mac and cheese recipes date to 14th century England and Italy. Elbow Macaroni – small, curved tubes of pasta – are the noodles used in classic mac and cheese recipes for centuries.
