Who am I?

Hello, my name is Sam! Thank you for helping my hobby turn into a business. My story began two Christmas’s ago when my grandmother purchased a set of attachments for my Kitchen Aid. I had an idea to begin to make pasta for fun and eventually, I had friends who would ask me to make it for them. One day, one of my friends suggested I started making pasta and selling it. Since that day and two burned up Kitchen Aids, I decided to research pasta extruders and took the leap into the pasta making world full time this past December. 

How are Sam's Noods made?

The Extruder Advantage

Our pasta is crafted using the Arcobaleno extruder, a piece of equipment that stands out in the pasta-making world. Unlike store-bought pasta, which often contains preservatives and dyes, Sam’s Noods is completely free of these additives, ensuring a purer taste and a healthier choice for you and your family.

The Brass Die: A Secret to Superior Pasta

One of the key differences in our pasta is the use of a brass die instead of the Teflon and plastic dies commonly used in commercial pasta production. This choice has a profound effect on the quality and texture of the pasta:

  • Rough Texture: The brass die gives our pasta a rough surface, making it porous and able to absorb sauces more effectively.
  • Higher Protein Content: The use of a brass die also allows the pasta to be made with a higher protein content, contributing to a healthier meal.
  • Enhanced Flavor and Texture: This process results in a pasta that is not only more flavorful but also maintains a tender, chewy texture that enhances your dining experience.

Ingredients Matter: The Power of Semolina Flour

Sam’s Noods is made with Semolina flour, a special type of flour derived from durum wheat. This choice of flour brings several benefits:

  • Tender and Soft Texture: Semolina flour provides a softer texture compared to all-purpose flour.
  • Better Sauce Adherence: The firmer, chewier texture of semolina flour ensures that sauces cling better to the pasta, enhancing every bite.
  • Vegan-Friendly: Our pasta is vegan, aligning with a plant-based lifestyle while still delivering the rich taste and texture you crave.

Why Choose Sam’s Noods?

  • Preservative-Free: Enjoy pasta made with wholesome ingredients and no artificial preservatives.
  • Dye-Free: Experience the natural color and taste of pasta without any added dyes.
  • Vegan: Perfect for those following a vegan diet or anyone looking to reduce their meat consumption.

In conclusion, Sam's Noods not only offers a healthier and more sustainable pasta option but also elevates your culinary creations by allowing flavors to shine through. Experience the difference with every bite, and let Sam’s Noods bring a taste of tradition and quality to your table.
