Noodles & Pasta

You think pasta is just pasta? Think again! There is a huge variety of different noodle types, all with different shapes and flavors. In this category, we introduce you to the most popular types of noodles and give you tips on how to prepare them.

Spaghetti

Spaghetti are probably the most well-known type of noodle and are made from durum wheat semolina. They have a long, narrow shape and are perfect for classic Italian dishes like spaghetti carbonara or bolognese. You should always cook spaghetti in plenty of salted water so that they do not stick together.

Whole Wheat Spaghetti

For those who are health-conscious, whole wheat spaghetti is the perfect choice. They are made from whole wheat flour and contain more fiber than traditional spaghetti. Whole wheat spaghetti has a nutty flavor and goes especially well with spicy sauces.

Fusilli

Fusilli are twisted noodles, which are also often referred to as "screws" in Italy. Due to their shape, they hold sauces particularly well and are therefore suitable for dishes with a lot of sauce, such as pasta al forno. Fusilli also come in a whole wheat version.

Durum Wheat Fusilli

Durum wheat fusilli are made from the same dough as spaghetti and therefore have a similar taste. However, due to their spiral shape, they hold sauces much better and are therefore a good choice for dishes with a lot of sauce.

Penne

Penne are short, tube-shaped noodles that are cut diagonally at both ends. They are particularly well-suited for oven dishes like pasta al forno or for pasta salads. Penne also come in a whole wheat version.

Whole Wheat Penne

Whole wheat penne have a slightly stronger taste than traditional penne and therefore go particularly well with spicy sauces. Due to their tube-shaped form, they absorb sauces well and are therefore a good choice for dishes with a lot of sauce.

Linguine

Linguine are flat, long noodles that resemble spaghetti. They are particularly well-suited for light sauces like tomato or olive oil. Linguine should always be cooked al dente so that they keep their shape.

Spinach Linguine

Spinach linguine are a variation of classic linguine and contain spinach in the dough. They have a slightly green color and a slightly nutty taste. Spinach linguine go particularly well with light sauces like tomato or olive oil.

As you can see, there is a huge variety of noodle types, all with different shapes and flavors. We hope that our tips have made the selection a little easier for you and wish you lots of fun trying and enjoying them!
