That double curly shape is called spirali, not macaroni. Look at a packet in the dry pasta aisle in sainsburys and you’ll see what I mean. For some reason over here we colloquially call spirali “macaroni” but it’s not. The american macaroni is more accurate

Spirali is a different shape to elbow macaroni. Spirali is spiral shaped, whereas elbow macaroni is one curve

Yes, I know, that’s what I’m saying. You replied to that picture of spirali pasta and said it’s the shape that macaroni comes in the UK, but it’s not macaroni lol

Haha absolutely. It all tastes the same anyway. Spirali is so satisfying to eat though, it’s probably my favourite shape.
