In English we don't use a plural form of either "macaroni" or "spaghetti."

I do remember both being used in the plural in Spain.

I have seen these words pluralized in Mexico as well. - Nicole-B, ABR 21, 2010

Hi Nila,

Both macaroni and spaghetti are referred to in the singular.Often we will say there is a bowl of macaroni...or there is macaroni on the menu.L.

Well, to say a plate of spaghetti, we say: un plato de espaguetis. We almost always say in plural. But that does not mean that we cannot say "hay un espaguetis en el suelo". I mean, we can use the singular too.
