- DonaldFisk 10y agoIt didn't come from China: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-13760559 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-13760559 It's not exactly impossible that both arrived at something similar independently.
- m_mueller 10y agoYour link describes the arabs bringing it to Sicily somewhere around 8th/9th century. So? Do we know they didn't get it from China? Of course Italian pasta is unique, it has had ample time to develop its own culture around it, but I've never seen evidence that the initial idea was born in Italy. It would be a bit like the Japanese claiming they invented Tofu. Well, no, but does it matter?
