Pasta means “Dough” in Italian. It is a generic term for Italian variants of noodles, food made from a dough of flour, water and/or eggs.
It’s amazing that there are approximately 350 different shapes of pasta in the world, including spaghetti, maccheroni, fusilli (swirls), and lasagne etc. The best thing about pasta is that it can be stored from days to years depending upon the integrant.
Some kinds of pasta are very easy-cook, compared to the complicated traditional Chinese cooking. You simply boil it and have it with some different kind of source according to your own preference. As a student, I found it convenient to have Pasta for meal. It saves me quite a lot of time in cooking. Lasagna tastes better. It will be nice to have it occasionally. But it’s kinda too hard for me to prepare this food. I just give up and leave the job to my boyfriend.
However, my dad hates this kind of food a lot. But while he’s staying with me during his trip with my mum around UK, he has to have Pasta occasionally. Sometimes we cook it at home, sometimes have it in restaurant. My old man calls it as a kind of terrible suffering. Well, what can I say? As the old saying goes, one’s dish is another’s poison.
