A
cookery, little rolls or threads of paste, or a composition of flour, eggs, sugar and
saffron, used in soups and pottages.
The flour of a hard and small-grained wheat made into
dough, and forced through small cylinders or pipes till it takes a slender,
wormlike form, whence the Italian name. When the paste is made in larger tubes, it is called
macaroni.
