Can you get any more Canadian? Probably not.

Poutine is a classic Canadian dish but that white cheddar mac & cheese? It’s as Canadian as it gets.

Italpasta’s Mac and Cheese is made from 100% Canadian Wheat, real Canadian cheddar, and no artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives. Since it is made  by Canadians with Canadian ingredients, Italpasta’s Mac and Cheese is the most Canadian mac on the market!

In celebration of Canada 150, Italpasta asked me to create a Canadian inspired mac recipe and share it with you. I couldn’t think of anything more Canadian, comforting or delicious than a merge of two of my favourite dishes – Mac and Cheese and Poutine!

 

 

The recipe is easy to make and way more delicious than anything has a right to be. You could even swap out the Italpasta White Chedddar Macaroni & Cheese Dinner for the Original Macaroni & Cheese Dinner or the Exra Creamy Macaroni & Cheese Dinner from Italpasta. I chose the White Cheddar because it works so well with the mild flavour of the cheese curds.

I love poutine, though I was skeptical the first time I tried it. I'm not over fond of Mac and Cheese but I'd say with the poutine I wouldn't have a problem eating it all :-)

This looks so good. Two classic dishes become one. I wouldn't have thought to combine these before now.
