How to Use

Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil, add Carolina Long Macaroni, and cook for 8–11 minutes or until “al dente,” stirring occasionally. Drain well and toss with sauce, cheese, butter, or oil as desired.

Use in baked macaroni and cheese, pasta casseroles, soups, or cold pasta salads. Adjust cooking time slightly shorter for baked dishes (the pasta will continue cooking in the oven) and slightly longer for softer textures.

Storage and Packaging

Carolina Long Macaroni 7 oz comes in a dry, shelf-stable package suitable for pantry storage. The compact size is easy to stack and store with other pasta and grains.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, moisture, and strong odors. Once opened, keep the remaining pasta in its original package sealed with a clip or transfer to an airtight container.
