History
The exact origins of macaroni and cheese are unknown, but it is believed that the dish has its origins in Italy in the 14th century after Marco Polo returned from the Orient with macaroni[2]. The dish spread throughout Europe in many various forms, and was brought to the American colonies by English settlers. By the eighteenth century, various versions of the meal were well known all over Europe.
Its popularity in the United States has been attributed to Thomas Jefferson serving it at a White House dinner in 1802, although a spontaneous and diffuse appearance of the dish is more likely. [3]
