@shain, what are the little circular things? Is that the pasta?  Looks like Cheerios, but I'm pretty sure it's not xD

 

This is ptitim (Israeli couscous), so it falls under the term pasta. The boiled portion was toasted before cooking, and the rest pan fried, hence the golden color. I must say, I've never noticed how similar it is to Cheerios (albeit smaller).
I now want to try and make a Cheerios inspired snack, of ptitim, pan fried in butter; with honey and nuts - somewhat like Struffoli.
