Little Thumbs Up January 2015 : Pasta / Noodles
Happy New Year , all ! Hope this year will be good to us !!!!
---------
Little Thumbs Up is a cooking and baking monthly bloghop event started by Zoe of Bake for Happy Kids and Doreen of My Little Favourite DIY . I'll be hosting this month's event and the theme is pasta / noodles .
Pasta is a noodle basically made from semolina or durum wheat flour ( some used all-purpose flour or other grains ) and water or egg . These ingredients are kneaded , either by machine or by hand , to form a dough , the dough is then rolled then cut into variety of shapes and sizes . Pasta comes in dried or fresh form . It is often served with different kind of sauces .
Asian Noodles are made the same way as pasta but with different ingredients . Some are made with rice flour , wheat flour , buckwheat flour , mung beans , potato starch , to name a few . Noodles are typically served with hot or cold broth but some can be used for stir-fry dishes .
Growing up , I only knew spaghetti as spaghetti and macaroni as macaroni and never refer to them as pasta . Bihon or rice noodles is the only noodles that I knew . We only served spaghetti with meat sauce , tomato sauce with ground pork or beef and we used macaroni for salad . Before , whenever spaghetti or macaroni is mentioned , I associated it with Italy and noodles well , China , of course lol
Here are some common types of pasta :
Spaghetti
Squid ink spaghetti
Fettuccine
Linguine
Capellini or angel hair pasta
Lasagna
Macaroni
Farfalle or bow ties
Orecchiette , it resembles a small ear
Conchiglie or shells / seashells pasta
Penne
Fusilli or corkscrew-shaped pasta

Asian noodles :
Rice sticks/noodles or mee hon / bee hon
Thick rice noodles or ho fun
Vermicelli / Cellophane noodles or fun see / fan si
Udon
Ramen
