पास्ता
pāstā
Classical Sanskrit has no word for pasta, because the dish did not exist in its world. Modern Sanskrit writers borrow पास्ता (pāstā), the same loanword used in Hindi.
You may see पौष्टिकम् (pauṣṭikam) offered as a translation, but it means "nourishing", not pasta.
Meaning: dish or serving (noun)
