Most of the time, pasta is cooked in boiling water. When it is done, the pasta is taken out of the water, drained, and then dressed. Dressing pasta meals means mixing it with wonderful sauces or other foods such as tomatoes, olive oil, fish, cheese, meat, or vegetables. Pasta is often served in soups. Sometimes it is cooked right in the soup broth, and other times it is cooked in plain water, and added to the soup when it is almost finished. Pasta soups are very popular in the Americas. People in Mexico, Central and South America enjoy pasta in many different kinds of soups and stews. North Americans eat lots of chicken, beef or vegetable soups with pasta.
