Popular legend has it that Marco Polo introduced pasta to Italy following his exploration of the Far East in the late 13th century; however, we can trace pasta back as far as the fourth century B.C., where an Etruscan tomb showed a group of natives making what appears to be pasta. The Chinese were making a noodle-like food as early as 3000 B.C. And Greek mythology suggests that the Greek God Vulcan invented a device that made strings of dough (the first spaghetti!).

The Chinese invented pasta as we know it today. Marco Polo brought it back to Italia & the rest is history.

I think when Marco Polo went to China he found it there and brought it back to Europe. Then the Italians worked their wonders with it....

depends on who you ask.....it is believed that independently several different introductions were made......the chinese are believed to have been eating pasta or a noodle type of food as early as 3000 b.c.....some say the ancient greeks, others the etruscans......there are many different possibilities on the invention but i suppose it all depends on whose story sounds more interesting to you
