"He was in a state of shock and disbelief," said the father's friend, Greg Hahn.
"There was some blood on the pasta, but I didn't believe it because the pasta was not cooked. So I brought it in the kitchen and left the door and just let it sit and he ate it."
The injured soldier has been taken to the hospital in critical condition and the rest of his unit is in good condition, according to the Australian Federal Police.
Fellow soldiers posted on Weibo that the pasta had been shared with everyone and that it was quickly adopted by residents at a village, where it became a source of comfort.
