Pasta known as spaghetti is long, thin, cylindrical, and solid. It is a component of every classic Italian meal. Spaghetti is manufactured from milled wheat, water, and occasionally other vitamins and minerals, just as other types of pasta. Durum wheat semolina is often used to make spaghetti in Italy. Although whole wheat flour can be added, pasta is often made with refined flour, which makes it white. Capellini is a very thin kind of spaghetti, whereas spaghettoni is a thicker variation.
Pesto, also known as Pesto alla Genovese (Genoese Pesto in English), is an Italian sauce that may be traced back to Genoa, the regional capital of Liguria. Crushed garlic, European pine nuts, coarse salt, basil leaves, and hard cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano (also known as Parmesan cheese) or Pecorino Sardo (a sheep's milk cheese), all combined with olive oil, are the typical ingredients. Traditionally, pesto is made with a wooden pestle and a marble mortar. The washed and dried basil leaves are added to the mortar along with coarse salt and pounded to a creamy consistency after the garlic and pine nuts are first added and reduced to a cream.
