What is inside a pasta?
It depends on what kind of pasta you're asking about!
If you're asking about the ingredients in the pasta itself, then it's typically:
* Flour: This is the main ingredient, usually durum wheat semolina.
* Water: This binds the flour and gives the pasta its structure.
* Eggs: Some pasta, especially fresh pasta, uses eggs for a richer, more flavorful and more elastic dough.
If you're asking about the filling in a stuffed pasta, like ravioli or tortellini, then the possibilities are endless! Here are some common fillings:
* Cheese: Ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, and even gorgonzola are popular choices.
* Meat: Ground beef, pork, sausage, and even veal are used in many filled pasta dishes.
* Vegetables: Spinach, mushrooms, zucchini, and other vegetables can be added for flavor and texture.
* Herbs and Spices: Dried herbs like basil, oregano, and parsley, as well as spices like black pepper, nutmeg, and cinnamon, are often used in pasta fillings.
* Seafood: Shrimp, crab, and even lobster are sometimes used as fillings, especially in Italian cuisine.
