Ultimately, the Italians. There are recipes for Macaroni and cheese that date back to the 13th century from Italy. But CliffordAWright.com says that the American Macaroni and cheese began as either a casserole from a church in the New England area or a 'macaroni pudding' (sounds terrible!) from southeastern Connecticut. There is also a theory that Thomas Jefferson brought back the idea from his visits to Italy, along with his pasta machine.
The American macaroni and cheese has two main lines of ancestry claimed. In the first, it is thought that macaroni and cheese was a casserole that had its beginnings at a New England church supper. In southeastern Connecticut it was known long ago as macaroni pudding. In the second, and more famous story, and more than likely the original story, it is said that the classic American macaroni and cheese returned with Thomas Jefferson to Virginia after his sojourn in Italy. Jefferson had brought back a pasta machine from Italy. His daughter Mary Randolph became the hostess of his house after Jefferson's wife died and she is credited with inventing the dish using macaroni and Parmesan cheese. Later, the Parmesan was replaced with cheddar cheese. Anyway, that's one story. It is more likely that Jefferson encountered the dish in Italy and brought back the recipe. Origin: 1590-1600 this is all lies.....ill tell you the real story it originated in south western china where opium filled china men would cut off the heads of the village people and play Dodge-ball. That's is when mac and cheese were born
love bah lambey
it comes from Italy.
EDIT: It appears that Arabs first invented macaroni, while the word comes from Italian maccherone which means "stained".
Alternatively, it could stem from the greek word makaria.
The word 'macaroni' came into the Ebnglish language in the late 16th century from Italian maccaroni (now usually spelled maccheroni), plural of maccarone. It had come to Italian from the late Greek word makaria 'food made from barley.'
The macaroni salad originated in the country of America in the New England states. Another version of macaroni salad with Parmesan cheese came from Italy.

As a Canadian, I can vouch that in fact we do eat macaroni and cheese such as Kraft Dinner. I personally prefer homemade macaroni and cheese. It can be a survival tactic for those in university and college who know no other way of preparing a meal.

No one knows who invented Mac and Cheese. Research shows (Jack MacLaughlin's book "Jefferson and Monticello: the biography of a Builder) that Thomas Jefferson was interested in macaroni but he did not invent this American classic. Jefferson enjoyed this dish while in Paris, served it at the White House and and corresponded with a William Short to procure a macaroni machine. The first written Macaroni and Cheese recipe is believed to be from The Experienced English Housekeeper, by a Mrs. Elizabeth Raffald. This 1769 recipe calls for the following ingredients: bechamel sauce with Cheddar, mixed with macaroni, sprinkled with Parmesan, then baked until bubbly and golden.
