Roll out the paste, sprinkle well with grated cheese, fold in three, and give it one turn. Allow it to stand for ten minutes, and repeat the operation until the cheese is used up.

Cut the paste into very narrow strips about 3 inches long, twist each strip in screw- like fashion, and place in rows on a wetted baking-sheet. Shape also 7 or 8 rings about 1^ inch in diameter. Bake the strips and rings in a slow oven for about ten minutes. Make up into bundles by means of the rings, dish up on a folded napkin, and serve hot. 748. Macaroni a la Dieppoise.— ^ lb.
