In Italian the word pasta means "paste," and refers to the dough made by combining duram wheat flour called "semolina" with a liquid, usually water or milk. The term "pasta" is used broadly and generically to describe a wide variety of noodles made from this type of dough.

in Spanish "pasta" is slang for money, "basta" means enough so people say "no tengo basta pasta" I don't have enough money!
