What is Pasta?

Pasta is a starchy food preparation traditionally made from durum wheat semolina mixed with water or eggs, formed into sheets, ribbons, tubes, or other shapes, and cooked by boiling or baking Wikipedia+1. It can also be made from rice flour, legumes, or other gluten-free alternatives for dietary needs Wikipedia. Pasta is a central element of Italian cuisine and has become a global culinary staple Wikipedia.

By the 13th and 14th centuries, pasta dishes became common across Italy, and dried pasta gained popularity for its long shelf life, especially for storage on ships during exploration Wikipedia.
