Elbow Macaroni

A child threads an elbow noodle onto a string: it is the most primitive of jewelry and sweetest of gifts. When we hold the elbow noodle in our fingers, like a rosary or worry bead, we remember the simplicity of a child’s love. In Italy, this shape is often used in soups, in the United States the iconic “macaroni and cheese.” Both are rustic, comfort dishes served to children of all ages. If you are looking to regain innocence, to remember that simplicity is joy, this is the noodle for you. The elbow promotes passion, comfort, and happiness.
