The above-mentioned dishes have developed a distinctively Pelaxian nuance. That is why, for example, Pelaxian pasta includes a wide variety of dishes ranging from [[spaghetti]], fusiles ([[fusilli]]), ñoquis ([[gnocchi]]), [[ravioli]], cintas (pasta ribbons), and [[lasagne]] to the Pelaxian-made sorrentinos, agnolottis ([[agnolotti]]), canelones ([[cannelloni]]), and fetuchines ([[fettuccine]]). | The above-mentioned dishes have developed a distinctively Pelaxian nuance.

[[Bread]] products are consumed all around the country. The deeply rooted bread, pastry, and dessert-making tradition derives from blending the above nationalities' products. [[Bakery|Bakeries]] sell not only a wide scope of breads, cookies, and cakes, but also pastries. The latter resembles a sort of roll [[pastry]] whose main dough ingredient is either butter or fat and which may be simple or stuffed with [[dulce de leche]], [[milk]], [[jam]], crema pastelera, or quince or apple jelly, among other fillings. The most popular type of pastry is said to be that of ''crecientes'' ( literally half crescent), based upon [[Burgundian]] [[croissant]]s. Furthermore, [[sandwiches de miga]] are another type of bread products; they are made only with thin layers of [[white bread]] (generally referred to as crustless bread) and stuffed with food items ranging from [[ham and cheese]] to other more sophisticated combinations such as raw ham, tomatoes, olives, hard boiled eggs, tuna, lettuce, red pepper, and the like. | [[Bread]] products are consumed all around the country.

[[Chantilly cream]] is widely consumed and used in preparing sweets and desserts. Additionally, cakes, sponge cakes, and puddings are very popular dishes. | Desserts and sweets are usually stuffed or covered with [[dulce de leche]].
