THE ITALIAN PASTA | 20 RESTAURANTS TO TRY | THE BEST SANDWICHES

The Italian Pasta
B Y S E R E N A A D A M S
According to Wikipedia, is a staple food of traditional
Italian cuisine, with the first reference dating to 1154 in Sicily.
It is also commonly used to refer to the variety of pasta
dishes. Typically, pasta is a noodle made from an unleavened
dough of a durum wheat flour mixed with water or eggs and
formed into sheets or various shapes, then cooked by boiling
or baking. It can also be made with flour from other cereals
or grains. Pastas may be divided into two broad categories,
dried (pasta secca) and fresh (pasta fresca).
Most dried pasta is commercially produced via an
extrusion process. Fresh pasta was traditionally produced by
hand, sometimes with the aid of simple machines, but today
many varieties of fresh pasta are also commercially produced
by large-scale machines, and the products are widely
available in supermarkets.
