National Macaroni Day is observed on July 7 of every year. Macaroni came under the category of dry pasta and was initially made in different shapes and sizes. Macaroni are made from durum wheat and are cut into short lengths. There is macaroni available in straight noodles, curved, shells or in lot more shapes. Americans identify the elbow shaped macaroni as macaroni pasta. It was named as elbow macaroni because of the type of dough used and due to the egg free and hollow shaped nature of the product. Traditional macaroni, i.e., whole wheat macaroni is an excellent source of vitamins and minerals. The most popular dish that is made with macaroni is mac and cheese, although, macaroni can be used to create several varieties of dishes from casseroles to soups and salads.
