*Legends and Origins of the pasta's name

Gluttonous Priests: One legend suggests that gluttonous priests ate the pasta too quickly and choked, leading to the name. 

"Choking" the Dough: Another explanation involves the action of "choking" the dough strips to form the pasta, which could have contributed to the name. 

We just label the name as Maccheroni, so no priests get offended.
