One of the most popular dishes to have come out of Italy, the pasta, which can range from being rather humble to exotic, is practically a household item in India. Made from grain flour or wheat mixed with delicious sauces and other ingredients, there’s very little to not love about the pasta, which incidentally comes in 310 specific forms that are known by over 1300 documented names. The names and shapes of course vary according to different locales in Italy.
Kinds of pasta can be eaten with sauces such as Béchamel, Marinara, Bolognese, and Pesto, to name a few, or even as part of a salad. They make brilliant party dishes and for large families too. Here’s a list of some of the best brands of pasta available online.
