Hi, I love pasta. Do you?
Absolutely! Pasta is a staple of Italian cuisine and one of my very favorite foods.
Yes its so easy to make! Do you eat pasta with meatballs? 
Mmm, spaghetti with meatballs is excellent. And it's been said that immigrants in New York actually came up with it!
Yes! So delicious! I didn't know that, is pasta very popular in the U.S?
Definitely. Although it began in Italy, pasta has had a tremendous influence on American cuisine.
Yes lots of Italian dishes have influenced U.S. culture. Pizza is another one I think.
Yes, pizza is said to be invented in Naples, Italy, but America has developed their own styles, like NY style and Chicago deep-dish.
