Best Answer

The term 'macaroni' refers to any short, tubular pasta shape, including elbow-shaped, called 'gomito', in Italian, other curly styles, and straight. Penne is a popular straight style of macaroni. All macaroni styles are made either smooth (liscio, pronounced lee-shoh) or ridged (rigati).

The origin of the Italian word, maccheroni, to describe a type of pasta is uncertain, but it certainly doesn't refer to the shape.
