How to Celebrate National Noodle Day

Make your own noodles

Making noodles is not nearly as hard as it seems. Water, flour, salt, and an egg is all you need... mix the dough, roll it out flat, flour, then roll into a 'jellyroll' shape, and cut in to strips. Now get to it.

Go out for noodles

Much simpler than making your own noodles, go try out that new restaurant that serves noodles. Search for Noodles on Yelp and see where your noodle adventure takes you, whether it is to Italian, Korean, Chinese, American or Japanese, the choices are endless.

3

Take a noodle-making class

Search out your local cooking school and sign up for pasta making class. You'll learn so much about making noodles and pasta that you'll have spaghetti coming out of your ears.

4

Host a noodle potluck

Invite some friends over for a noodle potluck! Everyone can bring their favorite noodle dish to share with the group and then have a great time trying each other’s creations.
