For this recipe, you will need 16 oz (uncooked) of elbow macaroni. Add 4 to 6 quarts of water in a large bowl, generously add salt, and bring to a rolling boil. Throw in the pasta and cook for 7 minutes to al dente, making sure to stir occasionally. Once the pasta is done, immediately turn off the heat and drain pasta.
