How Long Do You Cook Macaroni Noodles?
The amount of time needed to cook macaroni noodles can vary depending on the brand and type of macaroni. Generally, it takes about 8-10 minutes of boiling in salted water to cook macaroni noodles until they are tender but not mushy. It’s important to stir the noodles occasionally to prevent them from sticking together. Once they are cooked, drain the water and rinse the noodles in cold water to stop the cooking process.
