T0HERE are restaurants every
where that retain and add to
u their patronage because they
serve certain -four pastes In espe-
cially attractive form. There are a
number Of varieties OF flour pastes'
We are more OF less familiar with
macaroni. spaghetti and noodles:
But flour pastes are often displayed
in the form of pretty sea shells,
the alphabet, flower forms, animal
forms and the like.
The method of cooking these flour
pastes is similar to all. A generous
quantity of boiling salt water Is
made ready. When the water is
boiling vigorously, the flour paste
Is thrown in and permitted to boil
rapidly for about twenty minutes,
or until the paste is tender but not
broken. 1t is then drained from
the water in a strainer or colander,
and rinsed with running water to
remove any excess starch.
And right here, just word about
saving the water in which the flour
paste has been cooked. 1t contains
a goodly quantity of starch. Com
bined with a minced onion, some to-
mato, peas or any other leftover,
ii is in a fair way to make a little
pickup soup for next days lunch
con.
But the thing that really makes
the dish attractive is the additions
you make to 1t after it is thus
cooked. Baked macaroni with
cheese is prepared in many house
holds where it is desirable to have
a main dish for the meal that does
not contain meat. To prepare this
dish for four, cook three-quarters

this outline of the great funda-

out and preserve the following:

intimate acquaintance with human
