Koshur certified Garofalo has been making pasta for over 200 years in Gragnano near Naples in Italy, the home of pasta. Made from 100% robust desert durum wheat and shaped using a bronze die gives Garofalo pasta its premium taste and texture.
Garofalo Elbow Macaroni has been specially developed for the UK market as it is not a shape found in Italy. It is thought that it derives from the term Italian maccheroni in Italy the noun maccheroni refers to straight tubular square-ended pasta. The curved (elbow) macaroni is perfect for Macaroni Cheese, allowing the sauce to surround the tubes both inside and out.

Recipes
Macaroni Cheese Recipe:
The recipe use Gruyere because of its smokiness and nuttiness, which paired with Parmigiano (or Grana Padano) and mature Cheddar, two great examples of umami flavour, is a combination made in heaven. Nutmeg goes really well with the Gruyere and adds a different twist to this recipe.
Serves 4 : 35 minutes
Ingredients:
300g Garofalo Macaroni
100g butter
500ml semi skimmed milk
4 heaped tbsp. flour
½ tsp nutmeg (grated)
60g Gruyere - cubed
60g mature cheddar - cubed
40g Parmigiano Reggiano - cubed
Salt and pepper
Method:
Boil a copious amount of water (at least one litre per 100 g of pasta), and when the water boils add roughly 2 tbsp. of rock salt. The right al dente time for Macaroni is 9 minutes , so to enjoy fully the Garofalo flavour and “bite”, stick to the advised cooking time! When cooked, drain well.
Whilst the pasta is cooking, place the melted butter and the flour in a heavy bottomed saucepan and mix well until you obtain a paste (roux), which is the main ingredient for béchamel sauce. Gradually add the hot milk to this paste and stir continuously to get a smooth creamy sauce. This will probably take 6-7 minutes.
When ready, season well and add the grated nutmeg. Set aside in a warm place.
Mix the pasta and the béchamel sauce in an oven-proof dish, add the 3 types of cheese and stir well. Place the oven-proof dish in a preheated oven (180C) and cook for 15 minutes until you have a crispy golden top.

best macaroni

The best macaroni
Cooks to perfection and tastes good.
Premium macaroni
The price is fair for the quality. your dish is only as good as the ingredients, and I can't fault this macaroni. Perfect for macaroni cheese
too expensive
Why are Ocado selling macaroni for such an extortionate amount of money? It should be under £1 at least.
Good Macaroni…
I use this in pasta bakes. TIP: Check out on line recipe Pinch of Nom ‘Chilli Pasta Bake’ this is perfect for that. Note I halved the recipe and it fed two of us with enough for lunch the day after so I think portion sizes are wrong in the recipe.The macaroni cooks well, holds its shape and is not starchy. Always have this in my store cupboard…
