Though Spaghetti & noodles look alike. But they are very different in their texture, taste and thickness. Spaghetti is a traditional Italian staple food made of durum wheat and water and Therefore has more nutritional value . Whereas Noodles are generally made of flour paste. They are also thin. One more interesting fact is that Spaghetti is eaten with a fork and noodles are eaten with Chopsticks. Spaghetti is served in a plate or bowl and topped with sauce. It is then mixed with the help of a spoon and fork and then eaten with a fork. Interesting!.
