Ill say it
Macaroni is a type of noodle. Mac and cheese should be a dish with macaroni noodles and a cheese sauce. If it’s with penne, rigatoni, rotini, etc, it will still be just as delicious. But it just literally is NOT MACARONI and cheese! Cant we please just expand our vocab just a tiny bit? I have been to restaurants that name a dish “macaroni and cheese” and the description is literally “rigatoni with a 4 cheese blend” or sum like that
