Some pasta dishes are known for their complexity; best enjoyed while dining out when cooking and cleaning is out of the question and solo orders are a given. But when it comes to eating at home, it's best to opt for dishes that are comforting and reliable that everyone in the family can enjoy. The tried-and-true baked macaroni is perhaps the pinnacle example. With all the same homemade charms as Pinoy-style spaghetti, baked mac is composed of elbow macaroni pasta cooked in a slightly sweet tomato-and-meat sauce, topped with lots of cheese, and baked to gooey, golden-brown perfection. Whether you want to order a a tray or two so you won't have to cook this weekend or you just miss the dish and its association with pre-pandemic large gatherings, we round up some spots to check out for cheesy baked macaroni.
