Maconi is a large variety of dry pasta that does not contain eggs, and it is usually made with durum wheat. Although many people believe the shape gives macaroni its name, the noodles' kind of dough used to make the noodles gives it the shape. The noodle is also made into shells, spirals, straight, and many other shapes. We love our macaroni in the United States! In fact, elbow macaroni is the most common form found in the United States.

We use macaroni in many dishes, from casseroles and hot dishes to soups and salads. This versatile noodle makes prepping meals a cinch, as well. Many dishes made with macaroni can be made ahead, making mealtime a lot less stressful. Using macaroni in dishes is also a smart way to stretch a dish to please more people.

These versatile noodles can be used as a base for cheese dishes as well as meat dishes. So, whether you're a vegetarian or a meat lover, you'll celebrate the day.
