THE NAME
The word macaroni indicates pasta in general, with some differences in interpretation between Northern and Southern Italy.
The word seems to derive from the verb “ammaccare” (to flatten), to beat strongly, which is what takes place during the kneading phase of production; the generic term identifies long and narrow formats in Southern regions, like the Bavette, while in the North the short and tube shaped formats are called with this name.
