Boiled Macaroni.
Macaroni varies as to the time it will take to cook. Half an hour is the usual time, but it often requires forty-five minutes. Break it into pieces two or three inches long, and drop it into a saucepan of boiling water. Boil rapidly until tender, having the saucepan uncovered. When it has been cooking for fifteen minutes, add a teaspoonful of salt for every two ounces of macaroni. When done turn it into a colander to drain; then put it into a hot dish, and pour half a pint of sauce over it. The sauce may be cream, Béchamel, tomato, or brown sauce. A little grated cheese may be added to the cream sauce, if that be the kind used. Serve at once.
