I love pasta! It is a staple food of traditional Italian cuisine,
I also love pasta!  Angel Hair is my favorite!  How about you!
I like Angel hair too! I learned in school that their are two kinds of pasta dried ("pasta secca") and fresh ("pasta fresca").
What is the difference between the two?
One is dried the other is fresh. Most dried pasta is commercially produced via an extrusion process today/
What is an extrusion process?  I am unfamiliar with that term?
It means that a machine is used to make it. I perfer fresh pasta since Fresh pasta was traditionally produced by hand
I prefer fresh as well.  I suppose fresh would be used at fancy eateries, right?
Or you can make it at home. Today though Both dried and fresh pasta come in a number of shapes and varieties and cant be found almost anywhere
