What is the difference between Spaghetti and Noodles?

Question

This has been a question that has baffled me for quite some time now! It kinda taste the same, it kinda looks the same! so what's the difference?

Answer 1

Spaghetti are shaped like a cord and noodles are like a ribbon.

it all depends on the taste, the recipe  and the sauce that is used on them , noodles also can be served with tomato sauce like a Bolognese  but mostly they are served with a creamier sauce , like Alfredo or if you are having Linguine with a Clam sauce.

Answer 2

the pasta dough is the same

spaghetti is extruded along with all the macaroni's

Noodles are rolled flat in a machine and cut to size

any fancy variations are art work

Answer 3

Italian pasta are usually made with semolina flour, whereas "noodles" are usually Asian recipe products made with rice flour or some other kind of flour...

Technically, a noodle is any kind of extruded food product made from a homogenized mixture of unleavened dough that is formed, dried, and then boiled to cook it.

Answer 4

spaghetti is a form of noodles/pasta.  just like angle hair, lasagna,  spiral,  elbow, etc.

Answer 5

one is pasta one isn't one is noodles, they dont taste the same as they are made from different igredients - not so baffling - ha!

Answer 6

A noodle is made from unleavened dough that has been shaped into thin flat strips or round cylinders and cooked in a boiling liquid.

Under Italian law, dry pasta can only be made from durum wheat or semolina flour. Durum flour has a yellow tinge in color. Italian pasta is traditionally cooked al dente (Italian: "to the tooth", meaning not too soft). Abroad, dry pasta is frequently made from other types of flour (such as farina), but this yields a softer product, which cannot be cooked al dente.
