About Pasta, fresh-refrigerated, plain, as purchased
Pasta is a staple of Italian cooking and one of the world's most beloved comfort foods, made from a simple dough of wheat flour and water, often with egg. Durum wheat semolina gives dried pasta its firm, golden bite, while fresh egg pasta is softer and richer. It comes in hundreds of shapes, from long strands like spaghetti and fettuccine to tubes, twists, and filled shapes like ravioli, each suited to particular sauces.
Pasta is an affordable source of carbohydrates for steady energy, and whole wheat versions add fiber, B vitamins, and minerals. It is endlessly versatile, tossed with everything from a quick tomato sauce or garlic and oil to creamy Alfredo, hearty Bolognese, baked lasagna, and cold pasta salads. The secret to great pasta is cooking it al dente, tender with a slight firmness, in well-salted boiling water.
Store dried pasta in a cool, dry pantry.
