THE PASTA STORY
Italy is celebrated for 3 things.
football,pizza and pasta.
Pasta is the general word for a meal prepared from unraised dough, water and flour.
Occasionally, eggs and vegetables extracts are added.
Pasta is believed to have originated from China and was first brought to Italy by Marco Polo but this
was disputed by researches.
But no one has definitive proof that the Italians
were the first to make pizza.
There are two types of pasta – fresh and dried.
Pasta without any eggs added,will not get spoiled for a period of 2 years.
Pasta is generally boiled before eating.
To enhance the flavour the pasta is served with other ingredients,spices,sauces,meat, cheese and cream.
There are hundreds of different shapes of pasta with at least locally recognized names.
Due to its wide variety I will only name a few below.
I will just list a few below :
. Farfalle
. Lasagne
. Spaghetti
. Vermicelli
. Conchiglioni
. Cannelloni
. Fusilli
. Macaroni
‘ Fettuccine
Among these, spaghetti and macaroni are the most
popular and eaten widely.
Italian pasta names often end with the masculine plural suffixes -ini, -elli, -illi, -etti or the feminine plurals –
ine, -elle etc., all conveying the sense of “little”; or with -oni, -one, meaning “large”. Many other suffixes like –
otti “largish” and -acci “rough”, “badly made” may occur too. All pasta type names are plural in Italian.
