Many elderly people in traditional areas still retain the soft and gentle habit of cooking pasta like Chinese noodles. Of course, using Duran wheat, the most hard wheat variety, is the biggest secret to the unique pasta flavor.
The most common "blue, white and red" sauce is the color of the Italian flag, so we often call pasta sauce the "Italian flag". In fact, traditional pasta sauces are roughly divided into tomato sauce, pesto sauce, olive oil sauce, cream sauce, cheese sauce, meat sauce, etc. Each sauce has a suitable pasta variety. For example, cat ear noodles are suitable for olive oil sauce and cream sauce, while wide noodles are often paired with meat sauce and cheese sauce.
Generally speaking, wide noodles are more suitable for rich sauces such as meat sauce and cheese sauce, while small and slim complement the refreshing sauce, such as pesto sauce and tomato sauce. Nowadays, pasta has long broken away from traditional combinations and blooms everywhere in the diet of each country, bringing more different taste experiences.
