Having just eaten the macaroni and cheese(the kind with the smoked chicken), not only can I say this is the best macaroni and cheese I have ever eaten, but I just told my son that it’s quite possibly the best ANYTHING that I have ever eaten!

It’s done in a saute pan to achieve carmelization “to-order”. We heat a iron saute pan, add olive oil, the bechamel, cheese and pasta.
Then we saute over medium heat until properly caramelized.

As an aspiring chef I have been tasting Macaroni & Cheese’s anywhere they are offered. I am determined to find my own signature recipe. This Mac & Cheese is unbelievable, if not for money and weight gain concerns I would eat it every day! I would LOVE to know how the cheese becomes caramelized. It is the aspect of this dish that makes it crave-able for me. Thank you for creating this awesome dish!

This is the most amazing macaroni and cheese on the planet. It is perfect, and well worth the $14. Trust me, I am hooked.

I can understand the confusion a bit. I had this as a side recently and it isn’t macaroni at all, but something else like a penne rigate (but probably not, I can never keep straight all the different pasta shapes and names). It is incredibly rich and flavourful, but for my wife it was too much for a side and the oiliness of the cheese and the rich cream sauce was a little overwhelming for her. She was expecting something a little less rich as a side, to balance out the full flavours of the main courses. So it is a taste experience on its own, as so many things are at Zingermans, and the $7.50 price of the small sidedish is no doubt justified by the wonderful ingredients and attention to the preparation. But as a side, it is very rich and can be a little too much, depending on your tastes.
