Chinese could were the first to make pasta, although we cannot take out other Asian countries like India, and even Arabia, who elaborated from very distant a paste which the name was "sebica".
Anyway, the pasta dishes can be prepared in many ways, and makes very good combinations with both vegetables and with meat. We can find many types of pasta and noodles, macaroni, spaghetti, ravioli, etc.. Dry pasta is usually used in stews as is the product resulting from the drying of non-fermented dough, made with semolina or durum wheat flour, or wheat bread, or any mixtures thereof with water.

Oh my gosh, those recipes sound amazing. Pasta is one of those foods that is NOT healthy for you at all, but it’s such a staple in our diets. And I just love pasta. I try not to cook it that often because it doesn’t have much nutritional value, but these sound great.
