Ralph,
Thanks for correcting my miss-plural.
Anyway, that is what my in laws and wife say but I make fresh pasta with
flour and eggs. I don't think there is leavening agents in that and it sure
is a quick meal.

Subject: Re: [BP] It ain't tasty...its art, but is it kosher for passover?
Eric,
First of all, you (singular) are not "goyim". Goyim is plural, and you
(singular) are a "goy." As a male goy, you are a shaygets; your sister is a
shicksa.
As you your mother-in-laws dining habits, she doesn't eat pasta during
passover because it has (or potentially has) leaven in it, and we are
commanded to eat no leaven in commemoration of the Exodus when the Hebes
didn't have time to allow their bread to rise. One goes through all manner
of gyrations to avoid leaven, and with greater difficulty to figure out how
to cook edible food without it.
As I have mentioned, when single in Joisey City I used to eat my standard
lunch (ham and swiss) on matzoh during passover, and have been known to
exuse myself for eating raisin bran and pizza on the theory that they are
flat. On the other hand, I felt bad one year when I realized halfway
through a bottle of beer that this was a no-no.
Which reminds me that I have misled you goyim with my comment comparing
sheetrock and spackle to matzoh and maror, and the Hillel sandwich: maror
is in fact bitter herb, normally (in my family of origin) a slice of
horseradish, eaten as a sandwich between two small pieces of matzoh; the
chopped apples, nuts and wine mix I described is called charoses (if you eat
enough, you might get cirrhosis), and tastes MUCH better between two pieces
of matzoh.
My coreligionists should be ashamed to have failed to catch me in this
grievous error.
Ralph
