Alphabet pasta, also known as alfabetto and alphabetschi in Italy, is a long, flat pasta which has been pressed or mechanically sliced into the alphabet letters. It's typically served in a condensed soup, usually in a can of condensed meat broth, usually served on pasta. The name alfabetto refers to the letter "A", which is in the alphabet of Italian and Spanish. Alphabet pasta originated in the city of Rome and it was eaten by royalty and commoners alike for thousands of years. It's been called the "language of the gods" and was the preferred food of Roman emperors. Today, it's considered a symbol of friendship and culture and is widely eaten throughout the world.
If you've ever had alphabetic pasta you know it's something different. It's fresh out of the oven and the flavor is distinctive. Some people love it while others hate it. It really depends on who is eating it. In fact, some people will not eat anything but alphabetto if they can get their hands on it. Alphabetto is made from meat stock or from vegetable stock and is normally prepared in the form of pasta. It's a very good source of protein, which helps to build strong muscles.
Alphabet pasta is easy to prepare and can be served cold or hot. The noodles are thick and you'll want to serve it with your favorite sauce. In some cities it's served with a white wine. However, this is really just a preference thing, and I personally don't like the taste of white wines when eating pasta. You can also substitute white rice for the pasta in this dish.
