"Pasta style " released today (June 29) from the Nisshin "Cup Noodle" series. It is said that cup pasta is eaten by draining hot water, but in a questionnaire conducted by Nissin Foods in Italy before its release, 86% of locals answered that they do not accept it as pasta.

Then I was wondering what Nissin made !? So I got it and tried it.


Two types, "Vongole" and "Bolognese", were released this time. It comes in a vertical cup that is easy to hold with one hand, and has a hot water outlet.


First, cook the vongole. The noodles are dry noodles, and they are pre-filled with clams (clams, chili peppers). Take out the bag of powder sauce and seasoning oil, pour boiling water and wait for 5 minutes. After removing the sticker on the hot water outlet and discarding the hot water, mix the seasonings and you're done.


The newly developed noodles are thicker and rounder than regular cup noodles, and are chewy and crispy. The garlic sauce is entwined there, giving it a punchy taste.


The texture of this noodle becomes addictive, and it doesn't stop when you eat a bite. But after all this is not pasta. It's clearly different from traditional instant noodles, but it's also a little different from the texture of smooth and chewy pasta. If you know that it's hard to convey, it's like pasta-style salted fried noodles ...

While being confused, I went to Bolognese. The ingredients are richer than minced meat, carrots, onions and vongole, but be careful as fine ingredients can easily flow from the hot water outlet.


Bolognese has a rich tomato richness and herb spiciness, and has a strong sweetness. Perhaps because of the tomato sauce, this one is more reminiscent of pasta. It also contains minced meat, which is familiar with cup noodles, and I personally like it so much that I want to stock up on it. Adding grated cheese or basil may make it more like pasta, but it's delicious enough so I think it's okay to use either pasta.

The advice for those who will make pasta styles from now on is that the powder sauce is hard to get entangled, so leave a little hot water without cutting it properly, and the ingredients and sauce tend to sink to the bottom, so eat while mixing well. Since there is no soup, even the female writer was able to eat it, so please make "BIG", Mr. Nissin!
