Just mention pasta and visions of Italy immediately spring to mind :) Joanna next destination will be Italy ( she is touring Europe now....wow...imagine all the authentic pasta she will get to taste from there with lots of cheese on them...mmmm I need to brush up my skill in cooking pasta or else she will start to compare :(
Pasta comes in many different form and shapes. Dried pasta are easily valiable in the market while the fresh ones are only available in restaurants . They are made from durum wheat flour , water, salt and sometimes egg. Some shapes are especially suited to a particular sauce. They are so versatile, you can pair them off with different sauces and they will still blend well :)) Some basic sauces for pasta are listed below.
