Pasta is categorized in two basic types: dry and fresh. Dry pasta, or pasta secca, made without eggs, can be stored for up to two years under ideal conditions. Fresh pasta, or pasta fresca, will only keep for a few days under refrigeration. In Italy, dry pasta can only be produced from durum wheat flour or durum wheat semolina. Durum flour and semolina have a yellow tinge in color, responsible for pasta’s golden appearance. Even more appealing is the resulting consistency of the final product, which can be achieved if prepared correctly.
