Hi, I love some fresh pasta, do you ever eat it?
I don't think I've had fresh. Pasta is typically a noodle made from an unleavened dough of a kind of durum wheat flour that is mixed with eggs or water and formed into various shapes or sheets.
Oh, interesting. Pasta sounds like a lot of types.
There are also two types of pasta: dried (pasta secca) and fresh (pasta fresca).
That's interesting, also pasta is considered a staple food of traditional Italian cuisine.
That's interesting, it's also influence cuisines around the world, like in the US.
I agree, you even see it on television. I've heard that the first reference to pasta is dated back to 1154 in Sicily.
That is true, it was first referenced in Sicily in 1154.
So I wonder if there are more popular foods from that region?

Response: Oh yes. Pizza and tomato salad are very well-known to be from Sicily.
