Stir frequently until tender, then pour in a jug of cold water, and drain the water off. Put about jib. of butter in a stewpan and place it over the fire until lightly browned ; turn the Macaroni on to a hot dish, pour over the butter, strew plenty of grated Parmesan cheese on it, and serve. (2) Boil 5oz. or Goz. of Macaroni in salted water until tender, take it out, drain, and put it into a baking-dish. Chop 2oz. of cheese, add it, together with the same quantity of butter, to the Macaroni, pour over two eggs beaten up in l pint of milk, or milk-and-water, put it in the oven, and bake.
