If you’re smart, you’ll order the macaroni and cheese at Brookline’s Anam Cara. If you’re smarter, you won’t ask to know its fat content.

That’s because the dish, a favorite at the Washington Square pub, is made with not one, but a whopping four kinds of cheese: Gorgonzola, cheddar, smoked mozzarella, and Asiago. Oh, and did we mention cream? It’s all mixed together with orechetti pasta, says chef Scott Robertson, and baked in a casserole dish until its edges reach a just-right crispiness.

We like the plain version — rich, creamy, and, frankly, perfect — but Anam Cara also offers macaroni and cheese with smoked andouille sausage, or mac and cheese with grilled vegetables like tomatoes, portobello mushrooms, and asparagus. They’re all ideal comfort food for getting us through the long, cold winter — fat content be damned.

Available for $10–$12 at Anam Cara, 1648 Beacon Street, in Brookline. Call (617) 277-2880.
