According to federal regulations, you may not, in fact, stick a feather in your hat and call it macaroni.
I’m serious. At 21 CFR 139, Subpart B, § 139.110, macaroni is defined as “the class of food each of which is prepared by drying formed units of dough made from semolina, durum flour, farina, flour, or any combination of two or more of these, with water and with or without one or more of the optional ingredients specified in paragraphs (a) (1) to (6), inclusive, of this section.”
If it doesn’t meet that definition, you can’t call it macaroni.
Heh.
