thick noodles

Substantial strandlike dumplings

Thick noodles are pasta or Asian noodles with substantial width or diameter, as opposed to thin varieties like angel hair or rice vermicelli.

The category includes udon, pappardelle, and fettuccine.

Thick noodles hold up better in hearty sauces and soups: I prefer thick noodles for beef stew.
