World Pasta Day

October 25th marks World Pasta Day. The day celebrates one of the world’s favorite and most versatile foods.

You have probably eaten pasta at one time in your life. Chances are, you eat it several times a week. But what exactly is pasta? This carbohydrate-rich food is made from unleavened dough that comes from durum wheat flour. The flour is mixed with water or eggs and then formed into sheets. Pasta is cooked by either boiling or baking.
