Pasta is a traditional Italian
food and there is a variety of different shapes of pasta which can be
prepared with many different types of sauces. In Italy the pasta is served as

The pasta is prepared with durum wheat flour (sometimes even with
buckwheat flour), water and sometimes eggs and it is categorized in two basic
styles: fresh and dried.
Here are some of the most well-known types of pasta worldwide:
spaghetti, fusilli, lasagne, maccheroni, gnocchi, pappardelle, bucatini, pici,
tagliatelle, stringozzi, rigatoni, conchiglie, stelline and so on.
In Italy is also used the filled pasta, which can be filled with vegetables,
meat, fish, cheese or a mix of it. The most famous filled pasta is: tortellini,
tortelli, ravioli, fagottini, panzerotti, cappelletti and so on.
In Italy, every region has its trend of pasta and almost every city has its specialties, this is the reason why in Italy there is a huge number of local cusines rather that a single national cusine.
