Pasta is a food commonly associated with Italian cuisine but has definitely spread to other countries. It is made from an unleavened dough that is mixed with water or eggs, that is then formed into sheets or other shapes. It is in the other shapes that pasta comes into its own, for there are over 310 specific forms called by over 1,300 names. Pasta is often served with a sauce, and this sauce may be an important part of the dish. Many types of pasta are stuffed with a wide range of foods; vegetables, meat and cheese being common. Pasta normally comes in two primary varieties, dry and fresh. Dry pasta is a useful staple food as it keeps a long time.
