Today we cook dried pasta in boiling water. Some of our dried pastas do come from Italy, while others are made at home. It can be made from wheat, corn, or even rice (for people who are gluten free).
Pastas are usually served with sauce; the sauce can be made from just about anything including tomatoes and more. The sauce may or may not include meat, cheese, and vegetables, which is what makes this food so versatile.
What’s your favorite pasta dish? Our is a simple tomato sauce with garlic, onions, basil, oregano, a little sugar, and some red paper flakes. This is a sauce that’s easy to make from tomato sauce (not th prepared type—this is only the tomatoes, nothing else). It tastes good and is a filling dish. You can even fix a salad to go with it.
