Pasta is a food and main dietary staple from Italy that is made from a basic mixture of eggs, water, and wheat flour.
Pasta can be fresh or dried and particular pasta shapes are typically matched with certain sauces. In Italy, dried pasta can only be made from durum wheat which is processed into semolina flour.
Pasta is usually cooked al dente which in Italian means "to the tooth", the phrase inferring that the pasta should not be cooked too soft.
