what is pasta made of?

Answer 1

The word pasta simply means dough in Italian. There are several different types of pasta; pasta is often used to describe spaghetti, macaroni, lasagne and many other pasta shapes made from the basic pasta dough mixture.

Making Your Own Pasta
Ever wanted to make your own pasta? Now you can. Making pasta at home is very easy, the actual dough is a simple mixture of flour, salt, eggs and olive oil. The best flour to use is semolina flour: a hard, very fine wheat flour. As this is difficult to obtain, a strong flour of the type used for making bread is a satisfactory alternative. General household plain flour can be used, but it produces a dough which cannot be rolled out as thinly by hand so it's best to use this only if you have a pasta machine. These can cut larger quantities more evenly and quickly than you can by hand. They can also cut various shapes such as spaghetti, macaroni and long strips for lasagne.

Answer 2

Pasta, as everyone knows, comes from the branches of the Aspaccio tree. It grows with alarming speed in the dizzying heights of the Galloptian mountains (the higher the tree, the thinner the pasta) and is collected daily by belicose adults singing Operatic Arias at full volume. This has a calming effect on the trees, which react by lowering their branches thus allowing their pasta to be collected. The type of pasta depends on the Aria being sung at the time of picking, which is why there is always a spahetti glut in the market at the time of the World Cup!
