No. Semolina is made with a specific type of wheat. A type which, BTW, is not 
only period but medieval and Roman. :-)

No , it is not pre-cooked.

Hmmmm...I am curious what brand you own. My pasta machine book that came with 
mine clearly recommends semolina in  the recipes. And, all fine pasta 
advertises  that it is made from semolina. I always use semilina when making 
pasta with my machine and it works wonderfully.

The use of regular flour would produce noodles which although shaped like 
pasta  they would taste  like noodles. Not pasta, but still good to eat.
