Flat Pasta That Turns Into 3-D Shapes — Just Add Boiling Water The engineers are in the kitchen, again. Researchers say the flat-to-plump pasta is not only fun to make, but uses less packaging, has a smaller carbon footprint and cooks faster than traditional dried pasta.Credit...Morphing Matter Lab/Carnegie Mellon University By Marion Renault May 5, 2021, 2:14 p.m. ET Don’t be fooled. This pasta may look like your average fettuccine. But cook it for seven minutes in boiling water and it will transform, coiling into a neat spiral. The dynamic noodle is one of several designed and deb...

Flat-Packed Noodles Create More Sustainable Packaging, Transportation and Storage Aaron Aupperlee Print A team of researchers led by the Morphing Matter Lab is developing flat pasta that forms familiar shapes when it's cooked. Their work is the cover story in this month's issue of Science Advances. People love pasta for its shapes — from tubes of penne and rigatoni to spirals of fusilli and rotini. But what makes farfalle different from conchiglie also makes the staple a bear to package, requiring large bags and boxes to accommodate the iconic shapes of pasta...
