Macaroni with Stock

Ingredients

Directions

The book gives no oven temperature. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.

  1. Boil the macaroni for 30 minutes.

  2. Add stock and strained tomato juice, then cover.

  3. Bake in a 350°F (175°C) oven for another 30 minutes.

  4. Serve with grated cold cheese.

Recipe from a historical cookbook (Internet Archive).

Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
