By BARBARA GIBBONS Special to the Courier-Post What's the difference between pasta and noodles? Not much. The difference used to be clear-cut for American shoppers: Noodles were made with eggs and pasta wasn't.

The only pasta most Americans were familiar with were the machine-made kind that come in boxes: spaghetti and macaroni, Southern Italian style. With the Yuppification of the Food Supply came fresh pasta of Northern Italian descent, the kind that's made with eggs (and would be called "noodles" in English). Then cholesterol-consciousness came along, and along with it came "noodles" made without egg yolks, confounding things even further. Today, the difference is generally defined by shape and the presence of eggs (egg whites if not whole eggs) in noodles. Are noodles more fattening? No, their calorie count is about the same.

Nor are they particularly high in cholesterol; the addition of one egg, spread over many servings, does not make noodles a high-cholesterol food. One-half cup cooked noodles contains 25 mg of cholesterol compared with 250 in a whole egg only one-tenth of the cholesterol. Noodles are extremely versatile and popular in many hearty cuisines in addition to Italian. They come in a variety of sizes and shapes from whisker-thin (use in place of angel-hair pasta or Oriental noodles) to flat, broad noodles that could substitute for lasagna pasta. All noodles have the same calories per ounce; their shape won't change the nutritive values.

Here's a meatless main course made with noodles, a nice departure from baked macaroni and cheese. Your kids will love it.
