Different Types of Pastas Spaghetti

Originally spaghetti came from southern Italy during the 12th century. It then spread to the whole of Italy and became a common Italian dish. Spaghetti is a long, thin and cylindrical pasta. It is traditionally about 50cm long but now the sizes are about 25cm so that it is easy to prepare and store.
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EClCRVI-PH0/TwtfEhqrfOI/AAAAAAAAD-I/4OEdhmO3GSA/s1600/Spaghetti.jpg

Spaghetti is usually served with tomato sauce and may contain herbs such as oregano and basil, olive oil, meat or vegetables. Other spaghetti preparations may include Bolognese sauce, Alfredo and carbonara. Grated cheese is often added and it is also sometimes served with chili.

Penne
Penne is a type of pasta with cylinder-shaped pieces. It originates from Italy, with the word penne being a plural form of the Italian word penna, deriving from the Latin penna meaning feather or quill. Penne is made hollow so that the inside part can be used to hold sauce. It is usually eaten in a salad or a pasta sauce.

Farfalle
Farfalle is Italian pasta commonly known as bow-tie pasta. The name is from the Italian word farfalle meaning butterfly. The letter e at the end of the word is an Italian plural ending making the meaning of farfalle butterflies. Farfalle originates from the Lombardi and Emilia-Romagna region in northern Italy during the 16th century.

Farfalle is best suited with cream and tomato dish.

Linguine
Linguine is a form of Italian pasta that is flat like fettuccine and trenette and is wider than spaghetti. It is seasoned and eaten with similar sauces as spaghetti. Linguine is often served with either seafood or pesto sauce.

First we mix eggs with the pasta dough. We then form the dough together into a ball. If the pasta is to dry add water, if it is too wet add more flour. Then we knead the dough into a ball. Cover the balls and leave them for about 15-20 minutes. You then flatten the pasta to make it thinner. Using a pasta machine or a rolling pin we make then dough very thin and long. After you get the desired thickness you cut into the strips of pasta. (If you want to make farfalle you have to fold them into bow shapes). Then you boil the pasta for 5-10 minutes. After that you can add sauce and eat it. The whole procedure will take about 1 hour. Ravioli To make ravioli we make pasta dough similar to other Italian pastas. The difference is that we cut circular holes in the dough to put in our filling. Then we put another layer on top and cover the filling up. We cut the dough into square shapes. We then boil it for about 5-10 minutes. After that we eat it with a sauce such as tomato or cream sauce. Similarities Most pasta types are made from similar recipes. The only difference is that at the end before we boil the dough, we cut and make different shapes. Also pasta is usually made so that it is easy to eat. Pieces like penne, macaroni, farfalle and ravioli are bite-size pieces. Also types like spaghetti and linguine are in long strips because when the dough is made we can use all of the dough if we make it in strips.

Fusion Salad Reflection

Today in Food Technology my partner Mari and I made a fusion salad. Our task is to make a salad that combines the ingredients and cooking techniques of both Japanese and Thai cuisine. For the salad vegetable we decided to use normal vegetables such as lettuce because it works well with both cuisines. To make it Thai we decided to add tomato, cucumber and chilli. To make it Japanese we decided to add Japanese salad dressing, raw tuna, raw salmon and tofu. The dish came out very successful and very tasty. We all brought our ingredients and we made the dish in time. My classmates also liked the taste of the salad. One thing that we couldve done differently is to add fewer ingredients. We added to much vegetables and fish. It made the dish look overloaded and too messy. But however, overall the salad was a very good success and came out very good.
