A Pile of Edible String

4. What type of food is described in this paragraph?

By Colleen Messina
I look like a pile of string, but I am
edible. Many children love to eat me for
dinner. I am most often made from flour
and water. My name comes from an
Italian word that means "thin string" or
"twine." However, don't use me when I
am cooked to tie up anything! Snap! I
would break easily. Before I am cooked,
I look like a tall, straight stick. There are
different ways to eat me for dinner.
Some people like to use a fork. They
poke the fork into the pile and then twirl
me around and around! It is good that I
can't get dizzy. Many families like to cover me with luscious red
tomato sauce. Sometimes the sauce is dotted with meatballs. Can you
guess what I am?
