Pasta Cookbooks and Recipes
Pasta is a type of food made from flour mixed with water a
(and often eggs) which is then kneaded, formed into shapes
and boiled. The best-known form of pasta is probably spaghetti
which is a long-thin form of pasta whose name derives from
the Italian spaghetto, the diminutive of spago
which means "thin string".
Other than spaghetti, other common forms of pasta include
vermicelli (also string like),
farfalle and rotelle (complicated decorative shapes),
fettuccine and linguine (both ribbon-shipped),
lasagna (large sheets),
penne (short tubes),
as well as various forms of hollow shapes
that are stuffed with fillings (manicotti, ravioli and tortellini).
Although all the types of pasta are made from more or less the same ingredients,
the shapes do in fact serve an important role - different shapes make different
types of pasta more suitable for different types of sauce
(Alfredo sauce,
Tomato sauce, etc.).
When pasta is cooked, it can be served with a variety of different
sauces. For example, in
Italian cuisine,
each region of
Italy
has their own preferred ways of serving the dish. For example,
bolognese and pesto are favored in the North, whereas carbonara
or tomato sauces tend to be favored in the South.
Pasta is also a popular dish outside of Italy,
and other countries such as the
United States,
have developed their own distinct accompaniments, albeit often inspired by
Italian cuisine.
The origins of pasta have been lost in the mists of time. It is known that noodles
have been eaten in China
for at least 4,000 years, and one legend says that
Marco Polo brought this dish to
Italy - however romantic
as this story is, it doesn't appear to be true - there are records of pasta dishes in
the Mediterranean area dating back from before the time of Christ.
