Vermicelli is a very thin noodle or pasta. It is usually made from wheat flour and water, but some types are made from rice flour.

The name comes from the Italian word for "little worms". Italian wheat vermicelli is cooked like pasta, while Asian rice vermicelli is often served in soups, salads, or stir-fries.
