DESCRIPTION:
Pasta is a dough made from flour, salt, and egg yolks, rolled thin, and cut into various shapes and sizes, ranging from the familiar spaghetti to the slightly thinner spaghettini, and, the tiniest of all, vermicelli, angel hair. Still other forms include farfallette (bowknots or butterHies), cappelletti (little hats), and conchiglie (sea shells), as well as the flat and stuffed varieties such as noodles, ravioli, and lasagna.
