To Cook Macaroni

Oven, in the book's wordsA hot oven

Ingredients

Directions

The book says “a hot oven”. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

  1. If using for garnish, place long pieces in boiling salted water without breaking them.

  2. For other uses, break macaroni into 1-inch pieces.

  3. Cook in boiling salted water until tender.

  4. Drain in a colander and rinse with cold water to prevent stickiness.

  5. Reheat in white sauce and serve, or place in a baking dish.

  6. Cover with white sauce and sprinkle with buttered crumbs.

  7. Brown in a hot oven at 400°F (200°C).
