When Garibaldi was awarded a year's supply of macaroni for his part in uniting Italy, how exactly did he receive his pasta?

Honest question. It's been bugging me for 2 years now, and I just wanted to know if he got a set amount, or if he was able to receive free macaroni from a local market for a year, etc.

If this is an honest question, can you source this claim?
