Macaroni, despite popular thought, is actually given its name due to the type of eggless dough it is made of, not its shape. Thus, macaroni can come in a variety of shapes and sizes. In the US, elbow macaroni is among the most common shape and is definitely the nation's favourite. These cute little noodles can be used in many types of meat, chicken, fish, or veggie dishes and are a great way to make a meal more filling or to feed more people. Make it creamy, make it cheesy, make it however you'd like! Share your favourite macaroni recipes with #NationalMacaroniDay.
