The partial replacement of durum wheat semolina with local flours such as soybeans and yam reduces the dependence of durum wheat semolina for the production of pasta</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">.</span></span><span style="font-family:""> </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">The</span><span style="font-family:""><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> main objective of this study is to develop yam flour (A) from Dioscorea alata in the manufacture of pasta made with durum wheat semolina (B) and soy flour (C) (raw materials). The methodology adopted consists first of all in the characterization of yam, soybean </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">and</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> durum wheat semolina. An experimental design was developed to bring out the balanced mixing plan in well-defined proportions with ten (10) tests. Chemical and functional analyzes were carried out on the pastes obtained from these formulations. The functional properties allowed us to determine the optimal mixing plan using a mathematical model. The sensory properties of the optimal compound dough were estimated in comparison with the control doughs. The results on the chemical properties of raw materials A, B </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">and</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> C obtained on the water content vary from 10.29% to 12.29%;those of ashes vary from 0.91% to 5.74% and those of proteins vary from 3.24% to 20.17%. The results of the chemical and functional parameters of compound pasta gave very diverse values. We find that the water content, the ash content, the protein content </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">and</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> the acidity rate of the series of 10 tests are respectively from 6.60% to 14.97%, from 0.97% to 1.67%, from 7.15% to 12.10% </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">and</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> from 1.35% to 3.60%. Regarding the optimal cooking time for this series of 10 tests, it varies from 15 min to 20 m
