Pasta is a type of food typically made from a dough of moistened flour formed into shapes and then cooked. Generally a starchy carbohydrate made from grain flower, different formulations can be achieved with a higher protein density, and pasta can be prepared while fresh or dried for storage, making this a versatile foodstuff for agriculturally developed civilizations of lifeforms. Exotic varieties can have more complicated origins, such as Alfarian hair pasta made from hair, known in the culinary repertoire of the Talaxian traveler Neelix. (ST reference: Star Trek Cookbook, VOY episode: "Parturition")
