My macaroni is about 8 inches high. Does macaroni prefer a lot of nitrogen?

Not necessary. Pinch it back to encourage branching. It does need a lot of hot water.
The message from Dwight Sipler contains these words:
Earlier this evening I planted some in tomato sauce with herbs and cheese and a breadcrumby crust, and by suppertime it was ready for harvesting.

Most macaroni do best with lots of spaghetti sauce and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top!!!
Don't forget "al dente"!!!!
Macaroni? You're growing macaroni? I thought pasta bushes only produced spaghetti, and you had to knit it into other shapes. Do you have any seeds to spare?
It is partial to pesto, garlic and olive oil, cheese or tomato sauce.

I've heard that the lesser known Asian cultivars of this species grow well when planted closely with garlic, ginger, chiles, soybeans, and even peanuts.
