Attention pasta lovers, especially those who love fresh pasta made in the Italian mamma style! If the rolling mill really isn't your friend, or if you don't have the time to spend hours in the kitchen preparing fresh pasta from A to Z that will be gobbled up in no time at all; in other words, if you just want to get your feet under the table and enjoy an effortless feast, then here's a guide that might just help you in your quest.
Pasta is still eaten the world over, whether it's whole-wheat pasta like spaghetti, rice pasta like the best bobun, buckwheat pasta like soba, or soft wheat pasta like udon.
History has it that pasta originated in China and was brought to Venice by Marco Polo towards the end of the 13th century, although even older traces exist. In the end, it doesn't really matter where pasta comes from; what really matters is where we can eat real, fresh pasta right here, right now, to satisfy our cravings!
