Abstract
A spiral wound instant pasta noodle is disclosed which employs selected dusting agents interleaved within the spiral to insure unrolling of the spiral upon subsequent boiling. A method for the preparation of the noodle is also disclosed along with a system for packing the noodles in flexible envelopes to reduce breakage of the noodles and to permit inclusion of noodles longer than the flexible package filling aperture and reducing the incidence of perforation of the package.
