It’s simple, it’s classic, and it goes with almost anything! If you pull up to a cookout in Louisiana, you better believe you’ll see a pan of Spaghetti and Cheese or “Cheese Spaghetti”.Ĭheese matters. My mom would say it’s whatever sliced cheese you have in the refrigerator! Just don’t complicate this stuff. Which cheese should you use? I will argue with anyone that the American cheese from the deli of your supermarket is the best in this dish! Some will say it’s Velveeta. That simple addition makes a big statement in taste. I avoid this in my recipe by boiling the pasta in water with chicken bouillon powder added. Since, this dish requires very little ingredients, it can easily lack flavor. I’ve never enjoyed the regular sized spaghetti. Makes no sense, right? Just trust me and this recipe. We still refer to the spaghetti and cheese as “mac and cheese”.

Very rarely would my mom or aunts use elbow macaroni. I grew up having spaghetti instead of mac and cheese as a side dish. It’s literally a no brainer in my household. My family will always choose Spaghetti and Cheese over Macaroni and Cheese. Jump to Recipe A Classic, Southern Side Dish!
