According to legend, "macaroni" was named after an Italian businessman in the 16th century. His daughter sculpted thin tubes from the dough and hung them on a rope. Noticing this, the owner boiled them, seasoned them with tomato sauce, and treated guests. After that, a factory for making noodles appeared. Marco Aroni (the inventor) called the unique product "macaroni." The peak of the product's popularity dates back to the twentieth century and does not fade to this day.

Weight Loss Tips

  • Avoid adding heavy cream or sour cream to your dish. Replace it with natural yogurt or low-fat sour cream.

  • Weight your macaroni before cooking: In this case, it's much easier to count how many calories you've got from the ingredient.

  • If you decide to stick to proper nutrition, try making a blank for a week. Food containers for each day organize food intake.
