\"\"<\/a>
\nOctober 17 is National Pasta Day in the United States, where the average consumer munches through nearly 9 pounds of pasta per year<\/a><\/strong>. With a variety of pasta shapes <\/a><\/strong>and lots of choices for sauces, pasta is considered a culinary staple as well as nutritious and delicious.<\/p>\n

While a popular myth<\/a><\/strong> has the explorer Marco Polo bringing pasta to Italy after his legendary voyage to China, the truth is somewhat less fantastic. In 1296, for example, before Polo’s return, a trade in obra de pasta<\/em> was already well established in Sardinia. So who invented pasta? We don’t know, but we’re glad they did.<\/p>\n
