The long strands
If you like spaghetti, eat it together with meaty tomato, creamy seafood or sauces made from olive oil. Add some mushrooms and sweet bell peppers and you may never eat anything else again!
Before the main meal, you should try Angel hair. It cooks quickly, often in about two minutes. You can also break it up, and use it for soup. For a mouth-watering experience, use it together with thin, tomato sauces or toss it with olive oil, finely chopped cooked vegetables and shrimp.
A peep into pasta's past
The Arabs were believed to have started making pasta when they invaded Italy in the eighth century. They brought a dried noodle-like product with them and started making large quantities of it in Palermo.
This is thought to be the origin of modern pasta and the Italians and the rest of the world cannot thank them enough!
