Pasta is an unleavened dough product, which is made up of durum wheat semolina and water, originated in Italy and considered as Italian cuisine. Dried pasta and fresh pasta are the two broad categories of pasta processed and consumed in various types of sizes and shapes. Innovation has led to the evolution in commercial production of fresh pasta with improved palatability and enhanced nutritional content. Fresh pasta is manufactured from all-purpose flour, “00” low-gluten flour, eggs, and water either by large-scale machinery or traditionally by hand. They are not subjected to the drying process like dry pasta rather are pasteurized and stored at a temperature below 4°C. Size and shape of fresh pasta vary from long pasta, short pasta, filled pasta, tubes, ribbons, flat pasta, sheets, and miniature shape. Most widely known forms of fresh pasta are ravioli, tortellini, cannelloni, orecchiette, cavatelli, lasagna, pappardelle, and fettuccine. Traditionally, fresh egg pasta is made from egg yolk and flour with refined texture and flavor. The manufacturing and consumption of pasta are established from historical times and are known by different names in different parts of the world.
