6 Types of Pasta That You Loved Most!
Pasta is one of the simplest and most beloved dishes to prepare at home. Everybody would like to eat yummy pasta at breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Pasta is Italian traditional cuisine with rich carbohydrate content. It is mainly made up of durum wheat flour mixed with water or egg, and it can have different shapes and sizes. Pasta is cooked in boiling water. By using durum wheat flour, pasta has higher protein content. Rice flour or lentils are sometimes used to replace wheat flour to yield a different taste and texture or as a gluten-free alternative.
Pastas are mainly divided into two main categories: dried and fresh. Most dried pasta is produced commercially via an extrusion process, although it can be produced at home. Fresh pasta is traditionally produced by hand, sometimes with the help of simple machines. We all know that the best food is always homemade, hand-crafted, and fuelled by flavor. Also, it is very healthy. However, in today’s busy world, not everyone has time to make hearty meals.
