There are many, many types of noodles out there. I was wondering if there was a nutrition difference between them? Or are they just named differently based on shape?

Looking in a pantry, I saw ronzoni, maccaroni, rigatoni, and many other things that end in -oni. Was just curious as to why so many different named pasta types

Soba noodles are noodles made from buckwheat.

Buckwheat is a gluten-free grain that contains no wheat. Soba noodles, because of their buckwheat content, are a slow-releasing carbohydrate. They contain selenium and zinc.

Soba noodles are eaten as part of the Okinawa diet and by most health-conscious Japanese.

Soba noodles and buckwheat pasta are both available from good health food stores.

Found this on google

mainly it's based on their shape ... i'm particularly fond of the meat-stuffed and the cheese-stuffed pastas ...

I love Pasta filled - ravioli is my favourite - shame it is very filling as I could eat loads if it wasn't My auntie makes it from scratch and it is gorgeous

I love noodles but love what you are mentioning above - I have had my dinner but now I am very hungry thanks for the mention of food

Noodles just have different shapes but I think the nutrition you can get from is the same. I am also one of the noodle lovers here. I loved baked-macaroni a lot with lots of cheese on it. Hmmmm, yummy!

Baked maccaroni with extra cheese is probably one of the worst things nutrionally I have eaten regularly. The oil just comes out of the cheese and you end up eating most of it. Not the most nutritious.

I am a fan of the spinach stuffed pastas as well, they are good for you. The cheesey ones are better, but most likely less nutritious.

it depends on the type of cheese you use ... there are low fat types and varieties ... as well as cheese substitutes, which aren't as great, but still not bad ...

when you take into consideration all the other nutritional benefits from cheese, i think that a little indulgence is called for every now and again ... it's an excellent source of not only calcium/dairy, but also protein ... and fats/oils shouldn't completely be eliminated from your diet, either ...

I love to eat noodles for dinners and I love it with lots of vegetables. Spinach noodles are good and I feel healthy. But sadly I don?t know to cook noodles they will be over cooked or sticky if I make. So I just bug my mom to make them for me.

this is what to do when cooking pasta ...

bring water to a boil, and i usually put some olive oil in (if you hate the frothy bubbling over the top, this will help), adding salt really makes no difference ...

once water is at a boil, add pasta ... immediately stir, and some suggest turning down the heat to medium high ... i often switch between high and medium high when cooking ... most pastas take at least five minutes to cook ... the way to tell, though, is to take one piece of pasta out, and cut it straight down the middle ... cooked pasta looks almost clear, when uncooked pasta in the center still looks doughy and is more of a white/milky color ... the sliver of white/milky color should only be about paper thin or so ... the pasta will continue to cook as it drains ...

if you're cooking spaghetti or flat pasta, one way of testing it is to throw it against a flat/smooth, clean wall ... if it sticks, it's done ...

This is the best bit of cooking pasta My son loves it when I do this and it sticks to the wall he giggles so much when it does - I let him do it and it ended up on the ceiling

they come from Italia i guess, and italians love to name them differently according to negligible differences.
Anyway i think the main difference is their length, shape size and so on... even though some of them have different taste from the others one.
Not sure why.

dont know whats the bad effects of noodles but this comes in my top list on fast foods items. i remember m y school days. and i still love noodles in rainy days.
