Me too, I love the fine ridges that go down their length, sometimes spiraling around the tube. it makes me so hungry just thinking about it.

Yes! Is all pasta originally from Italy? Do you know? I want to try authentic Italian pasta.

Pasta is actually a staple of Italy and is a true food of traditional Italian cuisine, It originated way back in 1154 in Sicily if I'm not mistaken.

Fascinating! Do you know how long it took for the cuisine to spread across the globe?
1_Wizard
Not sure but  in Italy the names of specific pasta shapes or types often vary but after about 100 years after it was invented it was eventually brought to the US. I am not sure on the exact date.
