On Passover we do not eat any leavened food, chametz. This includes most foods made with flour grains, unless baked under certain conditions and guidelines. The matzah (a thin, cracker-like flatbread) that we eat on Passover is baked under controlled conditions that do not permit the thin bread to become leavened.ikewise we do not eat pasta, and other products, made from barley, rye, oats, spelt or their derivatives. But, there is pasta available that may be eaten on Passover. The pasta is made from potato flour and has a â Kosher for Passoverâ certification on the package.
