Question

is pasta also made of maida or white flour? if yes then is it better than semiya or vermicelli?

Answer 1

pasta is usually different types of flour and water,But it can have other ingredients in it like eggs so I always read the ingredients.

Answer 2

If you are talking about Italian style dry pasta, some are made with white flour (bad) and some are made with whole wheat flour and water (good)  

Answer 3

Most pasta is made from durham wheat but it can be made from rice flour, chick pea flour, buckwheat.....etc.    It can be made from refined (white) or whole wheat.   Vermicelli is a shape of pasta, not a recipe.
