IntroductionPasta is a staple food of

traditional Italian cuisine.coursePasta is eaten in Italy only as

first .The dough is made mostly from durum

wheat or, buckwheat flour, with water and, sometimes, eggs.

Pasta comes in a variety of different shapes that acts as a carrier for the different types of sauce and foods.

Pasta is categorized in two basic styles: dried and fresh.

Dried pasta made without eggs can be stored for up to two years under ideal conditions, while fresh pasta will keep for a few days under refrigeration.

Pasta is enriched with iron, folate and several other B-vitamins, including thiamine, riboflavin and niacin.

Some varieties of whole grain pasta can provide up to 25% of daily fiber requirements in every one cup portion.
