And believe us, it really is EASY.But first, let's take a moment to learn a little more about casseroles! Did you know the word 'casserole' actually refers to the dish in which the recipe is cooked? In French, 'cassa' means 'ladle' and it goes back even further than that, to the Medieval Latin word, 'cattia' which means ladle too. What does this all mean? We can only guess, but it seems like the word casserole originally meant a meal that all could share from the same pot � something that could be 'ladled' out to every person in the family or community. And so, what better meal for a potluck dinner?!

Other similar concepts are the Spanish paella, French cassoulet, British pot pies, and Italian lasagne � all perfect examples of casseroles in varying degrees. And what do you think the very first casserole ever made was? We can't prove this, but we're pretty sure it was macaroni and cheese! The recipe for this, called 'de lasnis', was actually found in a very old text called the �Liber de Cucina� dating back to 1404. It called for pasta boiled in water and layered with grated cheese. You could add mild spices, if you wished! Can you believe it? Mac and Cheese, the ultimate comfort food, a favourite of the Neopolitan Court of Charles II of Anjou!
