National Noodle Month celebrates the wheat based (or rice at times) long squiggly food we call noodles. Noodles differ from pasta in that they're made from milled wheat flour; pasta is made from durum semolina, which is coarser.
Noodles are mixed, flattened/rolled and cut.
Pasta is made into a dough that is then passed through a mold or die. This is why pasta can come in a variety of shapes, sizes and textures. Noodles, however, are always long and either tubular or flat.
Pasta is usually purchased dry (or fresh in gourmet shops) and either boiled or baked. Perfectly cooked pasta is soft on the outside but firm on the inside. The Italian term for this is 'Al Dente'. Pasta tends to hold onto sauces much better than noodles.
Noodles are usually purchased fresh and can be baked, fried, stir-fried, boiled, steamed…pasta usually doesn't do too well being fried, let alone stir fried! Noodles are considered perfectly cooked if they are elastic or of uniform firmness or softness. Noodles can also be, and are often, eaten raw.
National Noodle Month is an unofficial event. National Pasta Month in October is sponsored by the National Pasta Association.
