Technically yes it does grow, but not in the form that you buy it.
It is made from a hard wheat that has a high gluten content.
The wheat ears are ground up and made into a dough with or without eggs or other additions to give it different colours, then made into the various shapes with which you are familiar, and either dried and sold in packets, or cooked fresh.
You can also get pasta made from other plants such a buckwheat, but they are not as popular as the wheat varieties.
Noodles and pasta are essentially the same thing from different parts of the world.

No, it doesn't grow on a plant, although I remember a tv commercial that suggested pasta grew on trees. It is made from flour, egg, and water to form a dough. The dough is then shaped whatever way you want & dried.

There are 2 kinds of pasta.
Spaghetti is grown on a tree in the Congo region of Africa. It is picked by natives and shipped all over the world. It is a favorite food of the mountain gorilla who enjoy it al dente with a light marinara sauce.
Semolina - also known as spermazoa - is a worm-like creature which lives on the ocean floor. It is difficult to harvest and thus is more expensice than spaghetti. Since it comes from the ocean it is usually served with a red or white clam sauce.
Hope this helps!

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. While the name comes from Italy, pasta is very popular all over the world.

Pasta is made from flour, generally wheat but you now have other types since some people are allergic and we realize more variety brings better health. Check it here : http://www.lamilanaise.com/

Hi,
Pasta is mostly Durum wheat and water and flour, mixed together and cut into shapes. And no, it is not a plant!

i like the place youre going with this, i bypass college plenty. frequently if u bypass to ur mom nd say u dont experience nicely, she shud enable united statesa. off college . If she doesnt enable u say youll be no use at school besides because of the fact your feeling ill, and you wont be waiting to concentration.it works greater powerful in case you're saying experience ill the night b4 so it doesnt arouse suspicion. Failing that, what ive executed a pair of circumstances is pretend notes from my mothers and dads that are writen by using buddies asserting i replaced into ill the day ahead of this and didnt are available in. Howver ive been caught as quickly as and replaced into in deep truble so i wouldnt advise it, in trouble-free terms a final hotel. I dont rather have the different concepts, the ill trick is the suitable i fink. besides reliable luck, desire it works! Elle, South dakota xxxxxxx
