@selmam 9245911: Thanks for catching this! Yes, the macaroni is cooked prior to being used in the recipe. We have updated the ingredients list accordingly. Hope this helps! -- Editors of FaveHealthyRecipes

Is the elbow macaroni cooked prior to being added to all the other ingredients? The recipe does not state whether it should be cooked or uncooked. I am eager to try the recipe.
