To sign "noodles," start with both hands in "I" handshapes (only your pinky fingers extended) in front of your chest, with your palms facing toward you. Move both hands outward to the sides simultaneously while making a continuous, wavy, up-and-down motion.
Sign "I," "want," and "eat," then perform the wavy "I" handshape sign for "noodles," and finish with the sign for "dinner."
Raise your eyebrows to indicate a yes/no question. Sign "you," "like," and "spicy," then finish by moving your pinkies outward in the wavy motion for "noodles."
Sign "she," "cooking," and "chicken," then perform the wavy "noodles" sign to complete the thought.

While it generally means "noodles" or "spaghetti," specific types of short pasta might have their own variations. However, this wavy "I" handshape is a great, widely understood catch-all for any long, stringy noodles like ramen or spaghetti.
They do not need to touch perfectly, but they should start very close together in the center of your chest before moving outward in opposite directions.
The waves should be relatively small, quick, and continuous as your hands move outward. You just need enough movement to clearly show the squiggly texture of a noodle.
