Question

Did you know? The oldest pasta find is about 4,000 years old — not from Italy but from China, discovered in 2005 as an overturned bowl at Lajia. Marco Polo did not bring pasta from China; it was already widely known in Italy when he returned in 1295.

Accepted Answer

The oldest pasta find is about 4,000 years old — not from Italy but from China, discovered in 2005 as an overturned bowl at Lajia. Marco Polo did not bring pasta from China; it was already widely known in Italy when he returned in 1295.

De oudste pasta-vondst is ongeveer 4.000 jaar oud — niet uit Italië maar uit China, gevonden in 2005 als een omgevallen kom in Lajia. Marco Polo bracht pasta dus niet uit China; pasta was al lang in Italië bekend toen hij in 1295 terugkwam.
