History of spaghetti (Pasta)

The Etruscans had pasta as early as the fourth century B.C. The ancient Romans, Greeks and Egyptians knew about pasta thousands of years ago. In his 1928 book, A Description of the World, Marco Polo tells how the people of China ate vermicelli and lasgna noodles, thus indicating that Italians were already familiar with the pastas. A 1929 issue of The Macaroni Journal, a trade magazine, is said to hav stated the fake claim that Marco Polo had brought pasta to Itaky in 1925.
