When you cook MACARONI like spaghetti, IS IT CALLED SPAGHETTI?

I am so sure about that. I guess we can call it noodles. That is what comes to my mind. It reminds me of Chef Boyardee.

I don't think so. These pasta are named by their shapes. Macaroni pasta is hollow-shaped short-curved tubes. Spaghetti is made in the form of long strings since it is of Italian origin which means thin rope. So I would say it's Macaroni in spaghetti or tomato sauce. Either way, it's yummo!

If it's not spaghetti macaroni- I usually call it by whatever it is .. If it's Ziti - I say we are having Ziti or Shells or whatever. I might specify and say Ziti with sauce. But I usually only reserve spaghetti for the actual spaghetti macaroni.. Which I have VERY rarely - I like the texture of the others better.

I do, I have never liked the long spaghetti because it can be very messy to eat although I like the taste of it. Now when I cook "Spaghetti bolognaise" It is really pasta shape bolognaise, "it still tastes good though".
