product details
- Origin:
asta in its innumerable forms and uses is inextricably woven into the fabric of Italian life. This food product has played a vital role in the country diet (and imagination) at least since around 1299 when Marco Polo was apparently released from wartime captivity in Genoa and the story of his travels, written with the collaboration of Rustichello of Pisa, began to circulate. In the extant texts, Polo says he saw the Chinese eating vermicelli. He does not explain what vermicelli is, apparently assuming his readers would know what he meant. He does not say he brought any pasta back with him from the East and he gives no recipes for the making of pasta or information on how it should be cooked and served.
