Cooked noodles are pasta in the form of threads that have been previously boiled until they reach a tender and soft texture, ready to be used in various recipes. This ingredient is a staple in many cuisines around the world, especially in dishes of Mediterranean, Asian, and Latin American influence.
The origin of noodles dates back thousands of years, being a traditional preparation in cultures such as Chinese, Italian, and Middle Eastern. Although there are multiple variants, noodles are generally made from wheat flour and water, and are sometimes enriched with egg or other ingredients.
From a nutritional point of view, cooked noodles are an important source of carbohydrates, providing quick and sustainable energy. Depending on the type of flour used, they can contain varying amounts of fiber and protein. They constitute a versatile base to be incorporated into recipes that include vegetables, meats, sauces, and spices.
In different Latin American countries, cooked noodles may also be known as tallarines, spaghetti (referring to the shape), noodles (borrowed from English in more international contexts), or simply pasta. Their use is common in soups, stews, salads, and main dishes.
