We believe that among the mentioned recipes there is at least one that seems delicious to you. If so, be sure to try it out. All of them have been tested and tested several times, so we can safely say that they are very tasty.
When it comes to choosing macaroni, we advise you to always choose those that are easier and faster to cook, such as spiral or shell macaroni. Foam macarons, i.e. tubular ones, are a little thicker, so it takes more time to prepare them. Just so that it doesn’t bother you, if you are preparing pasta for the first time. All bags usually say that the preparation takes about 20 minutes, although it all depends on the thickness and shape of the macaroni.
Instead of macaroni, you can choose spaghetti or tagliatelle, the dish will be just as tasty. You can combine all the pasta with some of the toppings offered. And, you can prepare each of the offered recipes by baking the macaroni a little in the oven – you might like it better that way.
Try as many variants as possible, because only then will you see which combination suits you best. Be sure to play with flavors, let your imagination run wild. Macaroni is a simple dish to prepare, but it can have an extremely rich and aromatic taste.
Always add a lot of spices, as well as cheese, because it gives the macaroni a special taste. We have no doubt that in time you will become a real Italian!
