Flat Noodles

Flat noodles are a type of pasta or noodle with a wide, flat shape that gives them an excellent ability to absorb sauces. They appear in many world cuisines, from Italian tagliatelle and pappardelle to Asian rice noodles and Central European varieties. They are made from wheat, rice, or buckwheat flour. Their flavor is mild and neutral, making them perfect for meat ragouts, creamy sauces, soups, and stir-fries. Preparation is quick, simply cook them briefly in salted boiling water.
