FAMOUS PASTA PLACES

Where pasta is at it's finest.

ITALY

Pasta was brought to Italy by China. It is known as the staple food for traditional italian cuisine. Stories say Marco Polo brought pasta to Italy though it was already there long before his time. Documentation and recipes of pasta date back to 800 A.D. and Marco Polo made it back from his journey in 1296.

ASIA

It was recorded that a 4,000 old bowl of noodles was found in Asia, leading many to believe pastas recipes originally came from Asia itself. It is the earliest evidence of noodles found yet. Marco Polo did find the recipes and documentations of pasta in China before bringing it back to Italy, though the recipes had already reached Italy before he made it back.

GREECE

It is known that pasta may have come from several places other than just one and one of those places was in ancient Greece. Greeks may have aquired pasta after they founded Naples. Ancient Greeks had pasta in the form of a grilled batter named laganum. This name is the root of what Italians call lasagna.
