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.

Its primary function is to provide a filling and satisfying carbohydrate component.

Health notes
