a side dish originally from Italy consisting of dough made from durum wheat and water, extruded or stamped into various shapes and typically cooked in boiling water.
Classic pasta shape is long and rounded, perfect for twirling around a fork. Spaghetti (“A length of cord”) is America’s favorite shape. Vermicelli is s slightly thinner than Spaghetti, and Capellini (Angel hair) is the thinnest. Acni de Pepe is “Peppercorn”-like, bucatini is straw-like. Rotelle (“Little Wheels”) looks like a cartwheel. Rigatoni (“Large Grooved”) has ridges and holes.
Most regular semolina white pasta and whole wheat pasta is vegan. Egg noodles are not, unless it's a "faux egg noodle" variety.
