Making Jefferson’s Maccaroni Pie

Making Jefferson’s Maccaroni Pie

Filmmaker Ken Burns and Ciao Italia! host Mary Ann Esposito celebrate America’s 250th anniversary by re-creating one of Thomas Jefferson’s favorite recipes: Maccaroni Pie. The two PBS icons make a historically accurate recipe from scratch, as they discuss how Jefferson’s time in France and Italy led him to bring an early predecessor of modern macaroni and cheese to American shores.
