flat noodles

Wide pasta strips

Flat noodles are pasta or noodles characterized by their wide, ribbon-like shape rather than cylindrical or tubular forms.

Common varieties include fettuccine, pappardelle, and rice noodles used in pad thai or pho.

The broad surface area makes them well-suited for clinging to thick, creamy sauces or absorbing broth.

I prefer flat noodles with Alfredo sauce.
