[teorema]

"Macaroni" is a very old synonym for "pasta". It used to have a different broader meaning than the shape.

[Carioca]

In (Brazilian) Portuguese, all pasta is called "macarrão", no doubt from the old Italian word

[mejutoco]

To add a couple more examples; in polish "Makaron" is all pasta (same as above), while in German "Nudeln" (noodles) is also synonymous with all pasta (even maccaroni!).

[jacobolus]

E.g. the French "macaron" comes from this Italian word.
