**Pasta is one of my favorite foods. This can also be called a traditional western food. A type of food usually made from wheat flour, water and eggs, shaped into various shapes and sizes such as spaghetti, penne, macaroni, and usually boiled in water until soft. Pasta has a long history and is believed by scholars and the public worldwide to have originated in Italy. But similar types of pasta can be found in different cultures around the world. It is a staple of Italian cuisine and has gained global popularity due to the sauces, toppings and ingredients used to prepare and eat the dish.** https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbusRHyxmWSQkREK5RhsYUymEZmMThu4QpJS1oxVtV4JL/IMG_20230325_172314.jpg

_{***Usually, durum wheat semolina is used to make pasta, a type of wheat with a high protein content. Traditional pasta production involves extruding the dough through bronze dies, which gives the pasta a rough texture. The drying process is also very important, as slow drying at low temperatures helps the pasta retain its integrity and flavor. Good quality pasta should have a firm, but soft texture when cooked "al dente". It should hold its shape and not be smooth or sticky. Pasta made with high-quality ingredients has a more distinctive and pleasant taste. It should have a mild, wheaty taste.***} https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSvssqV6fbVR7co2UmErespAuekvMDYqFF1HKABKTQTa9/received_228009869271320.jpeg
