'''Pasta Processing'''

Pasta processing is the method by which [[pasta]] is produced on a large scale, typically by industrial means. The process involves several stages, including dough preparation, pasta shaping, drying, and packaging.

== Dough Preparation ==

The first step in pasta processing is dough preparation. This involves mixing [[semolina]], a type of coarse ground [[durum wheat]], with water to form a dough. The dough is then kneaded until it reaches the desired consistency. Some pasta processing methods may also include the addition of other ingredients, such as eggs or vegetable purees, to the dough.

== Pasta Shaping ==

Once the dough is prepared, it is then shaped into the various forms of pasta. This can be done by extrusion, where the dough is forced through a die to create shapes like [[spaghetti]], [[macaroni]], or [[fusilli]]. Alternatively, the dough can be rolled out and cut into shapes, such as [[lasagna]] sheets or [[fettuccine]] ribbons.

== Drying ==

After shaping, the pasta is then dried to reduce its moisture content and increase its shelf life. The drying process can vary depending on the type of pasta being produced. For example, fresh pasta may only be dried for a few hours, while dried pasta can be dried for several days.

== Packaging ==

The final step in pasta processing is packaging. The pasta is typically packaged in bags or boxes to protect it from damage and contamination. The packaging also often includes information about the pasta, such as its ingredients, cooking instructions, and expiration date.
