Durum wheat semolina pasta is a type of pasta that is made from durum wheat, a hard variety of wheat known for its high protein content and gluten strength. It is commonly used to make various types of pasta, including spaghetti, macaroni, penne, and fettuccine. The pasta-making process begins with durum wheat, milled to produce semolina. Semolina is a coarse flour that gives the pasta its distinctive texture and golden colour. The semolina is mixed with water to form a dough, which is then kneaded and shaped into the desired pasta shapes.
