Macaroni is a type of pasta that is made from durum wheat flour and shaped into short, tube-like strands. It can be cooked in a variety of ways, including with butter and cheese, tomato sauce, or baked with breadcrumbs.
Macaroni is usually cut into short lengths, but curved macaroni is also available and is known as elbow macaroni. Elbow macaroni is a classic pasta shape that is often used in macaroni and cheese, pasta salads, and casseroles.
