Multiple points of origin. Chinese invented lots of pasta shapes, but so did the Arabs, and Italians.

As early as the 4th Century C.E. street vendors in the Middle East were selling dried pasta items that looked very much like the pasta nests we see in today's megamarkets.

BTW, pasta had been in use in the Mediterranean Region for centuries before Marco Polo was born. I've sat in the ruins of a Pompeian noodle shop that was destroyed by Vesuvius in 79 C.E.

The Etruscans as early as 400 B.C. The evidence lies in a bas-relief carving in a cave about 30 miles north of Rome. The carving depicts instruments for making pasta - a rolling-out table, pastry wheel and flour bin. And further proof that Marco Polo didn't "discover" pasta is found in the will of Ponzio Baestone, a Genoan soldier who requested "bariscella peina de macarone" - a small basket of macaroni. His will is dated 1279, 16 years before Marco Polo returned from China.

However, Chinese have eaten pasta as early as 5,000 B.C. according to historical records.
