Food52's Resident Pasta Maker, Meryl Feinstein, created a dish that's everything you want out of comfort food (oh hi, butter and cheese), while also being a little unexpected (welcome to the party, jammy caramelized onions and tangy sherry vinegar). The end result is like a luxe, grown up mac and cheese, and perfect for the season. This recipe is shared in partnership with Kerrygold. GET THE RECIPE ►► https://f52.co/344VB6Q
