Mara la Pasta elbow macaroni in a 500 g bag, a short curved durum wheat semolina pasta for baked dishes, soups and pasta salads.
Mara elbow macaroni comes in a clear-fronted bag with a black and dark blue design, so the short, curved tubes show through the window. The top carries the red heart-shaped Mara logo with the words I Mara, Italian Goodness and a small ribbon in the Italian colours. Large white script reads la Pasta across the middle, and the base of the bag reads 500 g and pasta di semola di grano duro, meaning durum wheat semolina pasta, beside a round green fork and plate icon. As general background, macaroni, known in Italian as maccheroni, is a pasta shaped like narrow tubes, made with durum wheat, and curved macaroni may be referred to as elbow macaroni. Commonly, canteens and hotel kitchens use elbow macaroni for baked macaroni and cheese, cold pasta salads and minestrone-style soups.
