| | 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). |
