that kind of couscous is just pasta! Not a lot of people realise that. Any dish that calls for it can EASILY substitute some other similar-sized pasta such as Orzo or Pastina or tripolini.

www.gazettetimes.com › Lifestyles › Food and CookingSep 15, 2010 - Traditionally, couscous was made by rolling moistened semolina (the hard cracked wheat produced by the first crushing in the milling process) in a bowl of flour. Since it isn't made with a conventional dough, it's not a true pasta-and the flour coating takes it past the point of being simply a grain.

I use it a lot, it has a taste all of it's own. There is a supplier on Trade Me that I buy it in 1 KG. bags from so that I always have a supply. It is delicious with roasted red capsicum spread through it and a I always use lemon juice, lemon zest and fresh Thyme in it before I add anything else.

No - the original couscous is cracked wheat, not milled flour made into pasta.
