Editing Pasta (section)

===South America===
Pasta is also widespread in the [[Southern Cone]], as well most of the rest of [[Brazil]], mostly pervasive in the areas with mild to strong Italian roots, such as Central Argentina, and the eight southernmost Brazilian states (where [[macaroni]] is called {{lang|pt|macarrão}}, and more general pasta is known under the umbrella term {{lang|pt|massa}}, {{literally|dough}}, together with some [[Japanese noodles]], such as ''bifum'' [[rice vermicelli]] and [[yakisoba]], which also entered general taste). The local names for the pasta are many times varieties of the Italian names, such as {{lang|pt|ñoquis/nhoque}} for [[gnocchi]], {{lang|pt|ravioles/ravióli}} for ravioli, or {{lang|pt|tallarines/talharim}} for tagliatelle, although some of the most popular pasta in Brazil, such as the {{lang|pt|parafuso}} ('screw', 'bolt'), a specialty of the country's [[pasta salad]]s, are also way different both in name and format from its closest Italian relatives, in this case the [[fusilli]].<ref>{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20130509171339/http://receitasdafulaninha.blogspot.com.br/2011/11/tipos-de-macarrao.html#.UjtG4ax1HxU Tipos de macarrão.
