COOK OF THE WEEK - PASTA RECIPES

Submitted by admin on Wed, 11/09/2016 - 7:39am

In the old world, Pasta has been around for centuries. Where you place the origins of pasta depends a great deal on how you define it. The ancient Etruscans prepared a wheat and egg paste, but it was baked, not boiled. There are artifacts from a period 3,000 years ago that look remarkably like pasta dies and extruders. But naturally the material they worked on is not preserved.
The ancient Greeks had some form of flattened dough that resembled lasagna. The knowledge to mix wheat and egg with water was known long before. But the result was roasted on hot stones. The Romans quickly followed suit in the first century A.D. with a layered dish comprised of ‘lasagna’ and meat or fish.
