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.
