'Is it correct' should be, 'Is this correct:' - johndoe04, Jan 22, 2011

Answer 1

In English, macaroni is a particular shape of pasta, and you don't need to say "au gratin" since it means with cheese. Just "pasta with only tomato sauce and cheese" should work.

Are you on a trip right now or just planning? What city are you or will you be in?

Answer 2

And usually potatoes are prepared au gratin, which is with butter breadcrumbs and cheese browned over the top.. I would translates queso fundido as melted cheese which it is.

Answer 3

In my part of Ontario Canada, the basic recipe is called "Macaroni and cheese".

If tomato is added to the basic mix and is to be referred to in the name, then the name would begin with the basic name and add a reference to the added ingredient so it would be called:

Macaroni and cheese with tomato. (or tomatoes)
