Macaroni is one of the earliest forms of pasta, short tubular shaped with holes down the middle. On cooking, they are soft and give a better texture to the dish. Macaroni are cooked in salted boiling water, drained and then used in making a variety of dishes like macaroni cheese, or added in soups, salads and savoury gratins.
