Leave it to the Italians to come up with an amazing cheese pasta dish. This traditional dish translates to “Cheese and Pepper” and it’s made with long noodles and a grated pecorino cheese sauce, topped with freshly ground black pepper.
Fiskegrateng
This Norwegian dish is pretty much mac and cheese with fish and peas, making it a combination of what we think of as mac and cheese and tuna noodle casserole.
