Pasta is the noodles, spaghetti and other similarly composed, but differently formed, foods principally made of wheat. They contain no meat, including pork, unless served with meat balls or a sauce containing meat.
Pasta is made of flour, water, and salt rolled thin and dried. You can make it at home and there is a pasta roller you can buy to run the pasta through to make it thin.
What would happen if you didn't add salt to pasta while it is cooking?
Nothing. The salt you add to pasta adds flavor to the pasta. You'd still have pasta that looks and tastes exactly like pasta, just with less salt in it.
There is a misconception that salt reduces the boiling point of water, when in fact the opposite is true.

How many pounds of pasta is needed to feed 125 people?
Because pasta packages the suggested serving size is two ounces per person, you would need at least 300 ounces for 150 people. This translates into 18.75 pounds of pasta. However, to have enough, it may be wise to cook 20 pounds of dry pasta. A typical package of dry pasta contains 16 ounces or a pound.

The typical Asian food found in western countries is often fried and generally has a lot of grease, which is clearly unhealthy. However, in Asian countries (this is based largely on my experience with Korean culture), the typical diet consists of more rice, more vegetables, and less meat than what is found in the typical Western diet.
So the answer is yes and no. Chinese takeout is not healthy to eat on a day to day basis; my guess is that it wouldn't be much better than frequently eating at McDonalds. Authentic 'Asian' food can be healthier (meals that include more fresh vegetables, grains, etc), but in the end, Asian food can be just evaluated just like any other food. Just look at the ingredients and avoid greasy, deep-fried foods.
What does the word pasta mean?
Pasta is traditionally associated with Italian cuisine, though it may have entered Europe from Asia during the Mongol invasions of the 13th century. In making pasta, semolina dough is rolled out and sliced or compacted and forced through perforated plates (dies) that form it into the desired shape. It is produced in the form of sheets, ribbons, cords, tubes, and other shapes, each with its own name (e.g., spaghetti, macaroni). The formed dough is then dried under controlled conditions. Pasta is boiled and topped with a sauce or combined with other foods before serving.
What are the origins of spaghetti?
Despite the prior existence of noodles in China (2000 BC) and couscous in North Africa, spaghetti and other modern forms of pasta were first recorded in the culture of 12th century Italy.
Similar dough products existed in some form in many earlier civilizations where grain was ground, mixed, and dried. But actual pasta followed the introduction of durum wheat to Italy from Africa around the 7th century AD.
How do you get pasta not to stick?
If the lasagna falls apart as you lift it out, it is too hot. Let it cool more and set up.

What are the origins of pasta?
The inventor of pasta has not yet been discovered. Was pasta invented in Japan, China, Greece, Italy or the Arabic regions? It will remain a secret. It is interesting to see how the ways of using pasta have been changed over time. But one thing is for sure: Pasta is universally popular!
some may not know the ansers but some say that it was Marco polo who took it from the Chinese when he was doing the silk tralil and took it back to Italy and uesed in many different ways.. .

Pastagirlrecipes:
The History of Pasta has not revealed any documentation of it coming from or being invented by any one person culture or country. We can safely say that Marco Polo was not responsible for Pasta being brought from China to Italy. In fact Pasta was well on it's way to becoming a big part of Italian food history when Marco Polo returned from his journey in 1296. Pasta had already become a huge trading commodity in Sicily, Cagliari and Sardinia. In fact there is historical documentation and recipes dating back to 800 A.D. that included dried pasta made with durum wheat.
It's also my regret that Pasta was not invented by a peasant woman in Lombardi by the name of Libista. Many a wife's tale claim she invented Ravioli and Lasagna. Stuffed pasta very closely resembling the shape of ravioli can be traced all the way back to the 11th century Arab world. As Italy adopted these delicacies, stuffed pastas were as little as bite-sized cakes (Tortellini means little cakes) and typically fried.
So what is the history of Pasta and how did it get to Italy? Ultimately it is a combined effort of both human intelligence, creativity and evolution. Marco Polo and the peasant woman had nothing to do with the invention Pasta. Cute story though.

Were did ramen noodles come from?
A noodle is food made from unleavened dough that is cooked in a boiling liquid. Depending upon the type, noodles may be dried or refrigerated before cooking. The word noodle derives from the German Nudel (noodle) and may be related to the Latin word nodus (knot). In American English, noodle is a generic term for unleavened dough made from many different types of ingredients. Noodles exist in an abundance of shapes.
The first written account of noodles is from the East Han Dynasty between AD 25 and 220. In October 2005, the oldest noodles yet discovered were found at the Lajia site (Qijia culture) along the Yellow River in Qinghai, China. The 4,000-year-old noodles appear to have been made from foxtail millet and broomcorn millet.[1].[2] * Oldest known prehistoric noodles, from 2000 BC (see Chinese noodles). * Indian ragi noodles, made from finger millet flour
How many cups in 8 oz of dry pasta?
One pound dried pasta yields the same amount of cooked pasta as 1 1/2 pounds fresh pasta. Check the Cook's Thesaurus online to get additional details regarding what sauces work well with what type of pasta.
Yes to cook dry pasta it should be boiled in plenty of salted water for the time indicated on the packet (usually 5 to 10 mins.) However some pasta (e.g. Lasagna) may be added to the dish dry as it will absorb moisture as the dish cooks. Also freshly made pasta will only need 2-3 mins boiling.
What are the disadvantages cooking pasta?
You have to make it (or buy it pretty close to the time you want to use it). It needs to be stored in the fridge. Sometimes it's thicker than dried pasta, which makes it chewy. And it's only good for a few days / stales quickly.
You'll also notice that potatoes foam too. It's the starch in the pasta (or potatoes) that causes the foaming action. Why starch foams is another question altogether and that I don't know the answer to!
If you add a little oil to the water it will stop foaming. Foaming Pasta - Answered: Pasta water will foam due to residual starch on the pasta itself. This starch then thickens the cooking (boiling) water. Therefore you have foaming pasta water. This will not adversely effect pasta.
If you mean pasta of the Italian food then the answer is CHINA! Noodles were introduced to Marco Polo. He brought dried noodles back to Italy and the rest is history. The Chinese and Japanese still use pasta and so do hundreds of other countries. We owe gratitude to Marco Polo.
How much spaghetti sauce per person?
I use 100g of dried pasta per person when I'm cooking, depends how hungry you are.
Another good way to measure spaghetti is to put your index finger and thumb together and the circle that is made, wrap that around dried spaghetti and that's a good amount for one person
How do you take the sweetness out of spaghetti?
There's no practical way to "unsweeten" something. You can add more of every other ingredient except the sweetener, but at that point you might be better off just making it again and adding less sugar this time.
