Firm wedge of baked macaroni pie on a striped plate.

Bajan macaroni pie

Barbados · Latin America

Short description
This baked macaroni pie is firm enough to cut into wedges and is often served beside saucy mains.
Ingredients
Macaroni baked with cheddar, evaporated milk, egg, mustard, onion, pepper sauce, and a little tomato-based sweetness.
Cultural note
The dish turns familiar pasta and cheese into a sturdy table side, built to hold its shape on a busy plate.
Common misconception
It is not just loose stovetop macaroni and cheese; the egg and baking step make it sliceable.
