Though most of us consider Pasta to be from Italy, there are different claims made on this Global food. Some believe that the concept of noodles was brought to Italy from China by Marco Polo in the 13th century which later took the form of Pasta. Others also believe that the Arab vermicelli is in the root of Pasta and many claim Greece to be the place of origin for every type of Pasta. I don’t know how true these claims are. I don’t know where the journey of Pasta began but what I am sure about is that it has ended in the hearts of people from every country and that’s what matters.
