The history of pasta dates back to before our era. In 1000 B.C., the Sicilians boiled flour with water and dried the resulting strips, which they called “itrium.”
In ancient Rome, products made from flour and water were also popular. They were called lagana (from the verb “to pull”). However, Italy is considered to be the birthplace of pasta
. In the XV century, dry pasta suitable for long-term storage appeared. It was immediately appreciated by seafarers and traders because it was easy to prepare and nutritious. Over time, new types of pasta appeared: farfalle, fusilli, rigatoni and others.
