The earliest forms of pasta can be traced back thousands of years, but the culinary delight became a major part of Italian culture during the Renaissance. Pasta could easily be stored on ships during explorations of the New World, which is how the dish became popular around the globe. It's one of the most consumed meals in the world due to its affordability and ease of preparation.

October 17th is National Pasta Day in the US! Grab yourself some comfort food at a local Italian restaurant.
