What’s true comfort food?\u00a0 Hint: it involves the words \u201cmac\u201d, \u201ccheese\u201d and \u201cpizza\u201d. Say no more.<\/p>\n

Mac and Cheese is really having its moment. And, well, why wouldn\u2019t it- it\u2019s amazing!<\/p>\n

Take a break from take-out and whip up this mouth-watering and fun take on an old classic: Mac and Cheese Pizza<\/strong><\/a>. With cheesy grated Canadian Mozzarella, it\u2019s sure to become a family favourite fast.<\/p>\n

Here are some excellent wine pairings to complement the melted Canadian mozzarella in the mac. The first is a medium-bodied Pinot Noir from Mission Hill Five Vineyards<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a beautifully complex wine with aromas of wild strawberries, anise, and black tea. Henry Pelham Estate Winery<\/strong><\/a> also makes a delicious Pinot Noir, with black cherry and smoky aromas, and a gorgeously complex depth to it.<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do!<\/p>\n
