Each year on July 7th pasta lovers across the nation observes National Macaroni Day.
Made with durum wheat, macaroni is a large variety of dry pasta which typically does not contain eggs. Many people think that it is the short, hollow shape that makes up macaroni. However, it is the kind of dough from which the noodles are made. Elbow macaroni is the most common in the United States, but macaroni may be straight noodles, curved, shells or many other shapes.
Macaroni is used in many different dishes from casseroles and hot dishes to soups and salads.
