Pasta Dishes You WIll Make Over and Over

Pasta is made from semolina four, which is the very core of durum wheat. It produces a very hard flour when it is milled. When you buy pasta in the store, you are buying a product made from semolina flour.

In northern Italy, eggs are added to the dough to create a richer, lighter dough. In Southern Italy, only the flour and the water are mixed for the noodle dough. Yet in other parts of Italy, only the whites of eggs are added to the flour and the water.

However pasta is made, it is loved the world over because of it's versatility.

Of course, home-made pasta is the best, but commercial packages are of very high quality, and have a long shelf-life.

If you want to try your hand at home-made noodles, do not use 100% semolina flour as it does not absorb the liquid as well as a combination of all-purpose flour and semolina.
