Abstract
The invention describes an improved quick-cooking, thin-wall dry uncooked macaroni. The dough utilized to produce the macaroni contains 0.5 to 5.0% of dried egg white solids. The dried egg white solids must critically have a pH value within the range of from 6.75 to 7.25, a solubility of greater than 90% and preferably a normal ovomucin content. The macaroni may be cooked within a 3-7 minute period, preferably by microwave radiation to produce cooked macaroni of an 'al dente' texture.
