What it is
Pasta is a staple food made from unleavened dough of durum wheat flour mixed with water or eggs. It is formed into various shapes, such as spaghetti, macaroni, and lasagna, and then dried or cooked fresh. Pasta is a good source of carbohydrates, providing energy.
Why it's used
Pasta serves as a base for countless dishes, often paired with sauces, meats, and vegetables. It is a versatile ingredient found in a wide range of products, from frozen meals and pasta salads to soups and side dishes. Its primary function is to provide a filling and satisfying carbohydrate component.
Health notes
Pasta is a carbohydrate-rich food. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates pasta ingredients. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated many food additives used in pasta dishes. Typical consumption of pasta as part of a balanced diet is generally considered safe.
Allergen info
Pasta made from wheat contains gluten, a protein that can cause adverse reactions in individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Wheat is one of the FDA's major allergens.
