What is "The True Noodle?"
- “Experts say a truly exceptional noodle can be judged by color (a uniform light yellow is best), texture (resistant), taste (nutty)...is rapid cooking with superior and noticeable capacity to absorb the sauce. ”[1]
- “Commercial pasta is made with flour and water, and many imported brands are excellent. But for any flat noodles - fettuccine, lasagna, cannelloni - there is nothing better than homemade pasta made with flour and eggs, rather than water.”[2]
- “In Italy, fresh pasta is made at home with plain flour and eggs. Water and oil are never added. Semolina flour is only used in commercial dry pasta.”[3]
- At Savoia Pasta, we take pride in creating a dried pasta that retains all the qualities of fresh homemade pasta. Similar to homemade pasta, our kinds of pasta are delicate bodied, full-flavored, rapid cooking (2-3 minutes-half the time of most dried pasta) and have a “superior and noticeable capacity to absorb the sauce.”[4]
