I love pasta. It is a staple item usually known to be associated with Italian food. It dates back to 1154 in Sicily.
Pasta is my favorite food!!! I could eat it for every meal, but I like my absolute favorite dish is fettuccine alfredo! 
Pasta is divided in two categories. Dried pasta (Secca) and fresh(pasta fresca.
That's interesting! It's also interesting how many other cultures have made pasta a part of their cuisine. Like Italian, Asian food uses a lot of different pastas. 
Dried pasta is known to be commercially produced that goes through an extrusion processthough it can be produced in a home.
I would love to get a pasta maker to make my own pasta. Have you ever tried making pasta?
Based upon location in Italy pasta pasta shapes or types often differ.
