    Pasta is just messing up Asian noodles and making it their national identity.

      That’s a myth. There have been proto-pasta back in Etruscan days.

        Sort of. The proto-pasta was either a sort of flatbread ravioli, or there was a dish that was kind of similar to lasagna.

        There was nothing like noodles until they came along the silk road from China. Which took something like 2000 years.
