To cook, bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil. Add the elbow macaroni and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until al dente, which means it should be tender but still have a slight bite. Drain the pasta thoroughly in a colander. It is now ready to be tossed with your favorite sauce, mixed into a salad, or incorporated into a baked dish.
