This dish is called ‘Ebi (Prawns) Macaroni Gratin’ in Japan, as Macaroni are commonly used. It is a very popular dish. However, in Melbourne where I live, Macaroni are very short and small, and I don’t like to use them for this dish. I use other Pasta such as Pennette, Trivelle, Gemelli, etc. You can use any Pasta of your choice. Broccoli is optional. You can use other vegetables such as Spinach, Asparagus, Peas, etc.
