3. The word pasta comes from the Italian word
for paste, meaning a combination of flour and
water. Pasta is a staple food of traditional
Italian cuisine.

4. History OF PASTA
The Chinese first started eating noodles about
1,000 years ago. Many people believe that Marco
Polo, the famous Italian explorer, first took
noodles from China to Italy. However, Italians
were already making pasta before that. Italian
sailors travelled a long way to look for business.
They needed food that would keep fresh for a long
time. So they learned how to dry pasta.

7. In Italy most people think that Pasta was brought to
them by Marco Polo in the 13th century. But some
think he didn’t make it into proper China.
So there is a bit of a mystery. Who invented Pasta?…
Chinese or Italians.
The Chinese do have allot of different types of Pasta,
but the thing is that so did other cultures.
In any case the Italians have the best Pasta and make
the best dishes.

dough of a drum wheat flour mixed with
water and formed into sheets or various
shapes. When pasta is made the aim is
to convert the flour of the durum wheat
semolina into an product we can eat.
Pasta is still made in the same way
today, with flour and water. Sometimes
other things are added to change the
colour. You can find green, red and black
pasta, made with vegetables, tomatoes
and even squid
