| | Pasta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Pasta is a type of food made from flour, water, and sometimes eggs, which is mixed, kneaded and formed into various shapes, and boiled prior to consumption. | | | Pasta is made either by extrusion, where the ingredients are forced through holes in a plate known as a die, or by lamination, in which dough is kneaded, folded, rolled to thickness, then cut by slitters. | | | Pasta sauces rarely eaten in Italy but popular abroad include alfredo (a white cream sauce), and meatballs and tomato sauce (an 'italianesque' dish developed in the US). |

| | PASTA |
| | "Pasta" is the Italian word for "paste." All pasta is made from a dough of grain flour mixed with water. | | | Macaroni means the pasta is made with semolina, farina, and/or flour made from refined durum wheat. | | | Most pasta is made with durum wheat, a hard wheat high in protein and gluten, which makes a dough that sticks together well and holds its shape, a feature so important to pasta makers. |

| | Soft wheat can be used for fresh pasta, but semolina is used for dried pasta. | | | Until the advent of tomato sauce, pasta was eaten dry with the fingers. | | | Apicius, a Roman writer of the first century AD describes a pasta made "to enclose timballi and pies..."

| | Allrecipes Advice Perfect Pasta Salad |
| | Pasta is made from many different types of flour, and colored beautifully with many different vegetables, so be adventurous and try something out of the ordinary-from rainbow radiatore, spinach ravioli, and whole wheat fettuccine, to corn macaroni, buckwheat soba noodles, and rice vermicelli. | | | Other things to add gusto are toasted nuts, dried fruit, fresh herbs, crumbled cheese, and tidbits of your favorite meat. | | | Use ingredients that will give your pasta salad lots of varied taste and texture: cook vegetables just until tender, then plunge them into ice water to stop the cooking before they get mushy (this is called "refreshing" or "shocking" your vegetables), or just leave the vegetables crisp and raw. |

| | When pasta was served to the nobility it was usually seasoned with sugar and cinnamon or some other sweet condiment. | | | Prior to his interest in pasta, in the middle of the 17th century, pasta was sold in the narrow streets of Naples where it was eaten in a hurry and with the fingers. | | | It was eaten plain by the commoners, still dripping of boiling water and at most seasoned with lard and cheese with a little pepper. |

| | Pasta makers began using durum wheat, which they advertised as being higher in protein than soft wheat (it is, but not by much). | | | Macaroni came to America with the English, who served it baked with cheese and cream, as was also popular in the north of Italy, and in rich sweet baked custards. | | | The soup reflects the original use for pasta, which was as an extender in soups and sometimes desserts. |

| | About Rossi Pasta :: Marietta, Ohio |
| | Rossi Pasta is made with a much softer and less-refined flour -- a variation called “unbleached red spring wheat flour” -- which gives it the distinctive homemade taste we’re famous for. | | | Rossi Pasta in particular is made from an unbleached spring wheat flour which is less-refined than traditional baking flour and therefore contains more heart-healthy nutrients than you’ll find in most commercially produced pastas. | | | Most manufacturers utilize semolina or durum flour, which produces a durable pasta but one which tends to have a tougher, chewier texture when cooked. |

| | Naturally, all pasta is originally made fresh, but when they dry it today, it is usually in a climate-controlled room where the humidity is low and the temperature is 104F in the room to help it dry quicker. | | | First off, mushy pasta is not very good, secondly, this is how the real Italians in Italy make it, firm, but not raw, and lastly, it is proven, that pasta cooked al dente is not digested as fast, and therefore you are less likely to "bulk up" due to the carbohydrates. | | | When cooking dry pasta, it is important to cook it "al dente", al dente, in Italian, literally translated "to the tooth", which means to cook not until mushy, but not raw either -- firm enough to still have a little firmness when you bite into it. |

| | The rough flat bread from this primitive flour kneaded with water was then put on a red-hot stone, and may be considered the distant ancestor of pasta. | | | So the answer is that nobody actually invented this dough from flour and water; it is rooted in various parts of the world, which were not yet connected: America, Eurasia, Oceania, wherever the conditions of land and climate would facilitate its root. | | | By the time Enea reached the Latium coasts, roasted meat was served on an unusual dish, which could be literally eaten up; distant ancestor of Italian pizza. |
