To cook elbow macaroni, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the dry pasta to the boiling water. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook for the time indicated on the package, usually around 7-10 minutes, until it reaches al dente. Drain the pasta thoroughly in a colander. Rinse with cold water if using in a cold salad, or proceed directly to adding your sauce or other ingredients for hot dishes.
