Turn into a colander and drain. Put back into tlie saucepan, add 1 tablespoon butter, salt and pepper to taste, and heat tlirough. Serve in a hot covered dish. A couple of tablespoons of grated cheese, either American, Swiss or Parmesan, or mixed, may be stirred through before serving, or a good cream sauce may be prepared and the drained macaroni put in this to heat through. Here again the grated cheese may be added. Thick stewed toma- toes may be placed in the dish around the plain macaroni, or a regular tomato sauce around or mixed through the more elaborate dishes. Polish crumbs sprinkled on top are a good addition. Olive oil may always be used in place of butter.
