Did You Know? Fun Pasta Facts

Did You Know? Pasta Fun Facts

  • "Pasta" is Italian for "dough."
  • It takes about a half a gallon of water to cook macaroni, and about a gallon of water to clean the pot.
  • The average person in Italy eats more than 51 pounds of pasta every year.  The average person in North America eats about 15-1/2 pounds of pasta per year.
  • Most pasta is made using wheat products mixed with water.  Other types of pasta are made using ingredients such as rice, barley, corn, and beans.
  • Pasta is a good source of carbohydrates.  It also contains protein.  Carbohydrates help fuel your body by providing energy that is released slowly over time.
  • Pasta comes in many different colors.  Most pasta is cream-colored, but some is made using spinach making it green, red pasta that is made using tomato, gray pasta that is made using squid ink, and some pasta is called "cellophane" because it becomes transparent when cooked.
  • Pasta comes in many different shapes and sizes.  Elaborate designs help hold sauces.  Tube and pillow-shaped pasta can be stuffed with different ingredients.  Flat pasta can be layered between ingredients.
  • Approximately 2.75 million tons of pasta is made in Italy each year.

Pasta & Sauce Tips & Tricks

Tips & Tricks for Pasta & Sauces...

  • Experiment now and then!  Try a little nutmeg in your spaghetti sauce.
  • Lasagna Tip!
    It is not necessary to pre-cook the pasta before baking lasagna.  Add a few tablespoons of water around the edges if the sauce is very thick, but be careful not to add too much water.  Cover the dish when baking.  Test with a fork after normal cooking time to be sure that the pasta is done.  If not, cook a little longer, adding more water if necessary.  Try this technique a couple of times and you will get the hang of it.  You'd probably make lasagna more often since it's easier to work, one step is eliminated, and your pasta will actually taste better this way!
  • Spray your Tupperware with nonstick cooking spray before pouring in tomato-based sauces.  No more stains!
