I live in the Caribbean and love macaroni pie. To answer a few of the questions. Yes, boil the macaroni in water and drain before using. 400 grams is a little less than a pound, so use one pound of macaroni and one pound of cheese. The peas and carrots are optional, you can use a handful of each if you want. My favorite add-in is a little finely chopped red and green pepper.
I'd assume you boiled the macaroni beforehand, because i make a similar style Caribbean macaroni quite regularly.
Nowhere in the list of ingredients does it have peas or carrots. How much are you supposed to add to this?
can someone convert this to american measurements for me? I'd love to make this!! Thanks
this may sound stupid, but am i using cooked macaroni, or is it cooking in the milk and cream corn?
very nice-I also make it with a bechamel sauce for my friend who likes less cheese--I use milk,flour and some cheese,salt and pepper for the sauce
