Macaroni is a variety of dry pasta made with durum wheat. Macaroni noodles usually do not contain eggs and are normally cut in short hollow shapes; however the term refers not to the shape of the pasta but to the kind of dough from which the noodle is made.[citation needed] It may be straight or curved in which case it is frequently called elbow macaroni. Elbow maraconi is more common in the US and Canada while British macaroni tends to be straight.
