Pasta hails from Italy - it is a staple dish for the Italians, but commonly prepared and served across the world. Pasta is made from dough that does not include a raising agent. Instead, wheat flour is simply mixed with water and/or eggs, before being cast into sheets or recognizable shapes. Pasta is often served with a sauce or combined with other food, like meat and vegetables.
