Macaroni was a type of pasta food created by Humans on Earth, usually with a form of wheat or similar grain, extruded into a curved tubular shape. Dishes created with cooked macaroni include macaroni and cheese (when combined with cheese sauce) and macaroni salad (a type of salad of macaroni mixed with dressing and optional vegetables).
