Durum flour is used to make pasta because it is a sturdy wheat that helps the noodles hold their shape for cooking.
All purpose flour would be a better substitute then just normal white flour, but yes it can be used as a substitute. If you are using it to make pasta though, try to use the pasta immediately. If you don't, the pasta's going to be mushy, because for some reason the semolina is what keeps the pasta firm.
A homemade pasta recipe using semolina as the main ingredient typically includes mixing semolina flour with water to form a dough, rolling it out, and cutting it into desired shapes like spaghetti or fettuccine.
Pasta is made, usually from wheat products like flour and durum semolina, and therefore is not "grown." If you mean "does pasta made from wheat that is grown in volcanic soil taste better?," then I don't really know. Although I would be willing to bet that it would make only a slight difference in flavor as compared to recipe and technique. If you are trying to make a good home-made pasta, try using a 50/50 mix of strong (high-gluten) flour and durum semolina.
That would not be a great substitution - although both self-raising flour and semolina are made from wheat, the processing of semolina means that it absorbs less water than regular flour when not heated, but more water than regular flour when heated. (Think semolina pudding - a tiny bit of flour thickens a huge amount of milk). Semolina has a distinctly grainy texture, resulting in crumbly cakes, which would not be achieved by using self-raising flour. (This may mean that you end up with a cake with the texture of a brick using this substitution). Also, semolina is not self-raising, which means you would have to deduct additional chemical raising agents in the recipe if you were to attempt to substitute SR flour (and probably end up with a level of raising agents which differs to the recipe). In this case it is probably worth finding a recipe which you have the correct ingredients for, rather than attempting to substitute. A "semolina cake" without semolina is not a semolina cake. The above information is correct, however, most semolina cake recipes call for some all purpose flour, in addition to the semolina. You can safely substitute self-raising flour for the all purpose flour in the recipe, cup for cup, as long as you omit the baking powder and salt.
You can make your own using semolina flour, egg and water. But usually people purchase the dry product in the pasta aisle, then boil it for 7 minutes in salted water and serve it with a tomato sauce or garlic-and-oil sauce.
No. Pearl pasta is typically made like traditional pasta using wheat flour. I am not aware of a gluten free version.
The KitchenAid pasta maker attachment allows you to easily make homemade pasta using your KitchenAid stand mixer. Its features include different pasta shape options, adjustable thickness settings, and a durable design. The benefits of using this attachment include convenience, versatility in pasta types, and the ability to control the ingredients in your pasta for a healthier option.

Bread flour, sometimes called "Strong flour" has a higher gluten content than regular cake flour. Out of all bread flours, "Canadian" bread flour usually has the highest gluten content. I think that pasta flour (sometimes called "00 flour") may have a slightly higher gluten content than some bread flours, but using pasta flour doesn't result in a better quality of bread.
Semovita, is a branded word for Semolina. It is the starch from wheat fortified with proteins and vitamins. Modern milling of wheat into flour is a process that employs grooved steel rollers. The rollers are adjusted so that the space between them is slightly narrower than the width of the wheat kernels. As the wheat is fed into the mill, the rollers flake off the bran and germ and the starch is cracked into coarse pieces in the process. Using sifting, these starch particles, the semolina, are separated from the bran. The semolina is then ground into flour.
Using pasta water benefits plants because it contains nutrients like starch and minerals that can help nourish the soil and promote plant growth.
To make a delicious baked mac and cheese without using flour in the recipe, you can use a combination of milk, cheese, and eggs to create a creamy sauce that will bind the pasta together. Simply cook the pasta, mix it with the cheese sauce, and bake until golden and bubbly.
