  Boiled pasta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Boiled pasta is the basis of an enormous variety of pasta dishes.
The pasta is ready when it has lost the "flour" taste of uncooked pasta and has become moist and flexible throughout its thickness, but is still firm enough to need chewing.
When the pasta is cooked, it should be drained promptly with a strainer or colander, and placed immediately on a large, pre-heated plate, together with the sauce and other accompaniments.

 Pasta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pasta is a type of food made from flour, water, and sometimes eggs, which is mixed, kneaded and formed into various shapes, and boiled prior to consumption.
Pasta is made either by extrusion, where the ingredients are forced through holes in a plate known as a die, or by lamination, in which dough is kneaded, folded, rolled to thickness, then cut by slitters.
Common pasta sauces in northern Italy include pesto (a green sauce, made from basil, pine nuts, olive oil, garlic and parmesan cheese) and also bolognese (a ground beef sauce); in central Italy tomato sauce (a red tomato-based sauce), and amatriciana (a red tomato/wine based sauce, usually including onion and bacon strips).
