Do I need to soak macaroni in advance?
Need to soak in advance. Macaroni is mainly a kind of pasta and also made of starch, so the texture will be hard and it needs to be soaked in advance. Soaking macaroni until it is soft can greatly shorten the cooking time and make it taste better.

Macaroni is divided into concentric and solid. Solid macaroni is generally longer than concentric macaroni, so the cooking time of concentric macaroni and solid macaroni is different, so the time needs to be flexibly adjusted according to the shape of macaroni, generally 1~2 hours.

Macaroni is an international noodle product, and China can be said to have imported, digested and absorbed Italian products. Our country used to translate it into "macaroni", which is actually a kind of noodles made of flour. Macaroni has a long history. As early as the 7th century BC, Serus people living in northern Italy began to make noodles.

In 1000, a special menu of macaroni appeared in Sicily. 1740, the first pasta factory was built in Venice. Macaroni has been continuously improved and developed in the evolution of thousands of years.
