What is Pasta?

Pasta is an umbrella term that covers many types of noodles from Italy, or made in an Italian style. They are made from a dough of wheat flour and water and formed into many shapes, each with a different name. For example, spaghetti is long, thin and round, while farfalle looks like a bowtie and linguine is long, flat and narrow. There are numerous types of pasta and each pasta is cream colored and hard until cooked. Once cooked it is soft and easy to chew with a mild and nutty flavor that pairs well with tomato sauce, pestos and cheese sauces, such as Alfredo.
