Best Answer

Due to the prohibition against unleavened bread, raw flour cannot be used during Passover. In order to be used for Passover, dough has to be thoroughly cooked within 18 minutes of the flour being mixed with water. When pasta is made, water is mixed with flour and the formed pasta is left to dry without being cooked and therefore is not allowed.

There are kosher for Passover pastas that are made with potato starch/flour.

Pasta made from grains is not allowed during Passover. There are kosher for Passover pastas available, they are made from potato starch or corn flour. Ashkenazi Jews won't eat pasta made from corn flour though as it is kitniyot, a sub-category of foods not eaten by Ashkenazim during Passover.

During Passover, observant Jews do not eat chametz - that is, any food produced in a way in which one of the Five Grains (wheat, oats, rye, barley or spelt) come into contact with water for more than 18 minutes.

There is kosher for Pesach pasta available these days, primarily made from potato starch.
