Abstract
Dried pastas having a flavoring agent incorporated therein in an amount of at least 3% by weight are prepared by first mixing a ground starchy product, a starch, an emulsifier, a gelling agent, a flavoring agent, and softened water. The mixture then is extrusion-cooked and extruded to provide an extrusion-cooked, shaped pasta. The cooked, shaped pasta is contacted with an aqueous calcium solution and then dried.
