Pasta is a type of dough made into one of over 300 types of noodles used as a staple food originating in Sicily, Italy, beginning about 1154 A.D. It is made with flour and many times eggs. It can be fresh or dried. It is typically boiled in water or baked in a liquid solution (sauce) to add moisture. The dough can also include spinach, which makes the noodles green; carrot, which makes orange noodles, or tomatoes for reddish-orange noodles.
