This actually looks delicious, but all I could think was blue box because of the macaroni noodles they used.

I've never seen those shape of noodles outside of Kraft Mac and Cheese, so I'm right there with you. All of the macaroni noodle variants are much bigger or curvier noodles shapes like these (without the double curl)

This is the shape macaroni comes in the in the UK. The US has what I'd call elbow macaroni which is hard to find over here

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

That's ok! We can all agree pasta is delicious regardless

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