Sainsburys macaroni

[cardiologist349275]

I was just idling in the kitchen and a packet of Sainsburys macaroni pasta I used earlier caught my eye. It says on the back:

"Perfect for sweet or savoury dishes, the smooth sides and hollow centre of the tubes soak up the flavours. Great for baking too."

Ummm....WTF Sainsburys. Are people really putting a layer of macaroni in their trifle or adding it to their victoria sponge mix nowadays???? Please tell me they aren't. I think I'd throw up if I fished out a piece of pasta in someone's tray bake. Bleurghhhhhh!

Strawberry pasta is a sweet pasta dish and delicious. Strawberries, sugar, farm cheese, yogurt if you want. Makaron z serem i truskawkami

omg this thread has made me so hungry, I'm making macaroni pudding this weekend!!!

I didn’t realise macaroni could be savoury until I was a teenager. We had it baked with milk, sugar and raisins when I was little. It’s really nice.

There's an Indian pudding with tagliatelli, milk, sugar and cardomem seeds. Very very sweet but lovely. Called samaya, I think.

Rice pudding??

People fumin' that you've never had a pasta pudding, OP.

Maybe they work for Big Macaroni.

Macaroni pudding, like rice pudding, was a 1970's staple family dessert

Or live in a big ziti.

Oh wow. I'm surprised so many posters defend pasta pudding when I highly doubt any/many of them have had or made it before.

It's like writing on a chocolate bar, great for sweet treats and for chilli. I mean, it may be ok in chilli but it's not used much in it so it's a bit 🤨

I make it and eat it 😋
