Elbow macaroni is commonly used for macaroni and cheese due to its shape and texture, which allows it to hold onto the creamy cheese sauce effectively. The curved, hollow structure traps the cheese, ensuring each bite is flavorful. Additionally, its small size makes it easy to mix and bake, creating a comforting and cohesive dish. This classic pairing has become synonymous with the dish, contributing to its widespread popularity.
To make elbow macaroni, boil water in a pot, add salt, and then add the macaroni. Cook for about 7-8 minutes until tender but still firm. Drain the macaroni and rinse with cold water. Serve with your favorite sauce or mix in cheese for mac and cheese.
