Pasta
Pasta is considered to be a staple food in Italy. Traditionally, pasta is made from a dough mixture of egg and durum wheat. Pasta dough can also be made through the use of water as a substitution for egg, and non-wheat flours made from legumes to accommodate those with food restrictions such as gluten intolerance. This elastic dough is then formed into multiple different shapes such as sheets or varying size cylinders and either kept fresh or left to dry. Fresh or dried pasta is then prepared by either boiling or baking.
