The pasta as we know it originates from Italy and comes in a cornucopia of shapes and sizes. Pasta is made from durum wheat and water, can be cooked in a pot of boiling water over a flame anywhere, making it a versatile food stuff. Cheap to buy in packets, (better than freshly made) and usually accompanied by a sauce and salad.

Do we make a better meal from it than the Italians here in England, many would think so.
