You are correct in deedy Rahkstar. I bought them and tried them. NO, they are not like regular pasta. They did have a slight resemblance to ramen. But, only if you overcooked the heck out of it until it was squishy. I did not like the texture at all!!! My friend wants the other bag I bought. She is welcome to it. Hope to not discourage anyone from trying them. I just have too much of a texture issue. In fact, my husband enjoyed them just fine
