ITALIAN PASTA (PASTA DI ITALIANA)
Pasta is made from unleavened dough of wheat or buckwheat flour and water, sometimes with other ingredients such as eggs and vegetable extracts. Pastas include varieties, such as ravioli and tortellini, that are filled with other ingredients, such as ground meat or cheese. Pasta is typical of different cultures and countries, but the most famous varieties and recipes come from Italy.
