A method is disclosed wherein a dough, prepared from flour and water, as well as other possible ingredients, is subjected to cooking and sterilization at temperatures in the 90.degree.C to 170.degree.C range by processing with saturated steam under a pressure, and then cooled inside an aseptic vacuum pan, in a sterile environment. From this vacuum pan, the dough, as sterilized, cooked, cooled, and brought to a predetermined moisture content level, is conveyed, again in a sterile environment, to a forming unit which delivers selected patterns of pasta for packaging in a sterile environment. |
