 | Pasta by Antony Shugaar, Francoise Sabban, Silvano Serventi
This highly informative look at the history of pasta provides some startling information. For example, until the 1920s, Italians boiled their pasta to death. And no, Marco Polo did NOT bring it back from China. (An Arabic origin is more plausible.) The authors also evaluate the Mediterranean Diet (olive oil, wine, and plenty of pasta) and survey the history of pasta-eating in America. AUTHOR: Antony Shugaar, Francoise Sabban, Silvano Serventi
