Hi, I love some fresh pasta, do you ever eat it?

I don't think I've had fresh. Pasta is typically a noodle made from an unleavened dough of a kind of durum wheat flour that is mixed with eggs or water and formed into various shapes or sheets.

There are also two types of pasta: dried (pasta secca) and fresh (pasta fresca).

That's interesting, also pasta is considered a staple food of traditional Italian cuisine.

Definitely! Italian cuisine also influences several cuisines around the world especially the U.S.

I agree, you even see it on television. I've heard that the first reference to pasta is dated back to 1154 in Sicily.

That is true, it was first referenced in Sicily in 1154.
