From Japanese ramen to ooey-gooey mac ’n’ cheese, noodles may well be America’s best-loved carb. We adore them so much that the Specialty Food Association named “pasta’s comeback” their top trend for 2022, thanks in part to a COVID-driven appetite for comfort food. And if you had to name the world’s favorite comfort food, noodles would certainly vie for the top of the list.

Here are dishes from around the globe, gluten-free and grain-free pasta options on supermarket shelves and online and five delicious recipes to satisfy your cravings.

The trend in gluten-free and grain-free pasta continues to grow, so there’s a noodle to fit just about any dietary need.
