My brother's Italian neighbour would have called it macaroni. If it have
been made with spaghetti he would ave called in macaroni. If it had been
made with penne he would have called it macaroni. I think that if it
had been made with lasagna noodles have called it lasagna. Any other
pasta as always macaroni.
