The famous Italian dish made with pasta and cheese is called "macaroni and cheese." This dish typically combines cooked macaroni pasta with a creamy cheese sauce, especially cheddar. It is a beloved comfort food in many cultures, and variations can include additional ingredients like breadcrumbs, meats, or vegetables. Macaroni and cheese is often baked in the oven for a crispy top or prepared on the stovetop for a quicker meal. Its rich, cheesy flavor has made it a staple in both home cooking and restaurant menus.
