Is Pasta Kosher for Passover?

Pasta is not visibly risen, and leaven is not part of it's ingredients - so is the concern that it may come in contact with leaven in the air or a preparing surface, and the 18-minute time limit for between mixing with water and completion of cooking may not be observed? Or are there additional concerns to this? Reply

I honestly don’t understand what pasta, spaghetti specifically, is forbidden during pass over. The ingredients only list wheat flour salt and water. There are no leveling agents in it.
p.s. I am a Catholic but I also want to know more about all religions Reply

You can’t eat pasta for Passover Reply

More pasta alternatives You can use a spiralizer to make zucchini linguine, make spaghetti squash as already mentioned, or make egg drop soup - just use the tines of a fork to drop beaten egg into boiling soup to make a type of thin "pasta."

To mb: Most store-bought flour is already leavened, meaning the natural leavening process of wheat has already begun. Adding eggs or other ingredients is likely to speed up this process, and therefore any homemade pasta would also be forbidden as leavened. Contrary to what many believe, it is not the addition of yeast or baking powder that defines a mixture as leavened according to Jewish law. Reply

"Pasta" on Passover If you want to have pasta during Passover that is healthy, low-calorie, pareve and easy to make, try spaghetti squash. Your store's produce department should have it. The meat of the vegetable is in strings just like the real pasta version and it is golden-orange in color. You can cook it in the oven or by boiling. It is yummy and because it is mild in taste it goes well with any sauce that you come up with it. B'ta'avon!! Reply

Kosher for Passover Spaghetti If you want to have spaghetti that is 100% kosher for Passover and that does not require any special Passover certification or any kosher certification for that matter, buy spaghetti squash. It is 100& vegetarian and is readily available in the supermarket produce section, at your green grocer or at a farmer's market. It is easy to prepare, very healthy and low in calories. Reply

Pizza Matzo We made this every Passover when we were kids and now I make it for my kids! Matzo, sauce and cheese, toast or microwave and you have it! YUM! Reply

Fresh Pasta This has always confused me, why can't I make my own pasta from wheat flower?

Fresh pasta is decidedly unleavened, there is no yeast in it and there need not be any water in it, all it is is flour and eggs. With a mixer it can be made very quickly and is only cooked in boiling water for 2-3 minutes. I'm all for being over inclusive, but unless there's some part of the rule that I don't understand fresh pasta doesn't seem to violate any prohibition on leavened wheat products. Can anyone explain this to me? Reply

Sea weed My daughter is vegetarian and I found a kelp product that looks like a fake noodle. It is packed in water and you just pour hot water over it to serve. Can this be used for Passover? Reply

Is Pasta Allowed on Passover? Since you say "your" heritage, religion, traditions, etc., I assume that you are not Jewish.

Of course God cares, even about the minutiae of the smallest Commandment.
If you are not Jewish, then it does not affect you too much. You have only the 7 Noachide Commandments to observe.
We have hundreds more, plus Rabbinical decrees, and age-old customs. That is what we are here for.

a desperate cry i understand wanting to hold on to your heritage with all your might. i understand the reasoning behind the rituals and it all makes sense to remind you of the journey that was taken. the question i have is does G-d care this much about pasta or is this just your religion separating yourselves from the herd to prove a point and to show the world.
i keep reading on Chabad that we are all for one and one for all. it just doesnt seem this way when one is deciding that we somehow will be closer to G-d from not eating pasta at passover. in the end when Moshiach comes this will be my first question. to claim to pass over (get it) a plate of pasta when there are some who can not even afford to eat on this planet seems arrogant to me but again i do fully understand and do not feel any ill will as your traditions have been carried through the centuries for all to follow and to bring them to the one true G-d and for this i thank you. maybe some of these strange rituals are a magnet 4 curiosity?

Getting matza wet It is a question of custom.

There are those who are particular not to eat Matzah that has come into contact with water.

There are those who do not eat Matzh again after the Seder, just in case ...

In my family, we make a point of having broken machine-made Matzah in our soup, and similar items.

But I cannot speak for our minority Chabad branch.

As for pizza from Matzah, Halachah and Minhag aside, it would probably be pretty awful, as most of these patents are.

One can do without pizza for a week.

Something to be said for "going back to basics" In my history of making Pesach, I have largely relied on the basics: fruits, vegetables, meats, fish and dairy products, and matza of course. True, I did buy some Kosher for Pesach food, (mostly things like jam, ketchup, potato starch, matzo meal, sugar, salt, spices and so forth.) It wasn't until I had a child old enough to eat solid food that I considered getting a few specialty Pesach product, such as noodles. I did this one year, and since then never repeated this. Cost aside, when I served the "noodles" to my daughter she didn't want to eat them all. When I tasted them, I understood why. As small as that package of noodles was, we never did finish them that Pesach.

I have learned my lesson, and now stick to the basics for Pesach. There are so many wonderful things you can make for Pesach, and the food is delicious. It also has that special "Pesach" feel, smell and taste. Reply

pizza can you make pizza from matza and what about getting matza wet Reply
