Roman cuisine is one of the oldest and most revered traditions in the world. From humble dishes crafted during the Roman Empire to the refined plates of today, pasta has always played a central role.<\/p>\n<p>In ancient Rome, pasta was made using simple flour and water\u2014an early version of what we know today. Over time, egg-based doughs and bronze-cut shapes were introduced. Semolina flour, rich in gluten and golden in color, became the go-to ingredient across much of southern Italy, especially in Lazio, the region home to Rome.<\/p>\n<p>Modern Roman dishes like <strong>cacio e pepe<\/strong>, <strong>carbonara<\/strong>, and <strong>gricia<\/strong> all stem from this evolution.
