Abstract
Wet toasted pasta products that are quick cooking and have the appearance and texture of regular pasta have now been developed. The products are partially pre-cooked and they have a unique internal porous structure that provides a low density and quick cooking characteristics. The products also are characterized by excellent cooked yield properties. The method of making the products involves sheeting or extrusion under no vacuum or low vacuum followed by toasting under controlled conditions to obtain partially pre-cooked pasta.
