So I am a big pasta fan.  I grew up on it and I don't even come from an Italian family.  Do you like pasta?

I love pasta! It is amazing! It was created in Sicily back in 1154.

I knew it went back a long ways, but I was unaware it was that long ago.  I like the fact that there are so many pasta dishes to choose from

Yes. There are a large number of variants of traditional dishes too. Like lasagna, for example.

Lasagna is good.  I really enjoy seafood lasagna.  Also I appreciate Cannelloni

I've never had lasagna with shrimp. Sounds good though. But, Italian cuisine has developed through the centuries.

Yes it has.  It has come a long way from just plain noodles and olive oil

Yes. There are 2 types of pasta as well. Dried and fresh. I definitely prefer fresh.
