If you missed National Linguine Day on September 15th, this day offers an opportunity to make up for it.
FUN FACT
The word noodle derives from the German word 𝑛𝑢𝑑𝑒𝑙. Noodles are made by rolling unleavened dough out and cutting into a variety of shapes.
While long, flat noodles may seem to be the most common, they also come in several forms, names, and textures. And each kind of noodle pairs differently with various sauces and meals.
There are approximately three hundred and fifty different types of pasta around the world — and about four times that many names for them!
Found in regions across the globe, noodles are made from a variety of flours.
In Asian cuisine, root vegetables, such as yams and potatoes, beans, rice, wheat, and buckwheat are all found in a wide assortment of noodles.
Europeans make most of their pasta from durum or semolina flour, though potato noodles are enjoyed as well.
In 2002, archaeologists along the Yellow River in China found an earthenware bowl containing some four-thousand-year-old noodles of which had been well preserved!
