What do you call a fake noodle?

An impasta.

Why This Joke Works

'Impostor' becomes 'impasta' — fake pasta. The syllable 'pasta' is embedded in 'impostor,' creating a perfect food-crime portmanteau. The noodle is committing fraud by not being a real noodle — a very specific and relatable culinary betrayal.

🎤 How to Tell This Joke

Answer with the quiet judgment of someone who has dealt with fraudulent noodles before. 'Impasta' should sound like an official pasta classification authority's designation.

Perfect for:

  • At an Italian restaurant when someone orders zucchini noodles as a substitute
  • During a conversation about pasta alternatives and whether they count
  • When someone serves rice noodles at a pasta party without prior disclosure
