ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a calcium fortified pasta and the process of preparing the same. The pasta product contains about 75% wheat flour, water and at least 800 mg to 8000 mg of calcium per pound of product. The process includes mixing the ingredients and at least 800-8000 mg calcium per pound of pasta product, extruding, then drying the pasta at temperatures from about 130.degree. F. to about 200.degree. F. and at a relative humidity sufficient to control the drying rate to a moisture content of about 13%.
