38. History of Pasta
• We've probably all heard that Marco Polo
brought spaghetti to Europe from the Far
East in the late 13th century. While it's true
that he probably encountered it there -- or
at least a type of long noodle made from
either rice flour or hard wheat flour -- pasta
had existed in Europe for centuries. In
fact, a fourth century B.C. Etruscan tomb
has a bas-relief carving of a group of

39. History of Pasta
• natives making what appears to be pasta.
Pasta in Italy is a long tradition!
• Pasta certainly existed in places other
than Italy, however. The Chinese had
been making it since at least 3000 B.C.
And Greece claimed its share of the credit
-- according to Greek mythology, the
Greek God Vulcan invented a device that
created long strings of dough.

40. History of Pasta
• But what is pasta without tomato sauce?
Well, the Europeans certainly had a
chance to find out. It wasn't until 1519 that
the explorer Cortez brought the first
tomatoes back to Europe from the New
World. And when tomatoes were first
introduced, they were grown exclusively
as a decorative plant. The tomato is a
member of the nightshade family, and it

41. History of Pasta
• was assumed that it was poisonous as
well. (Actually, the leaves and stems are
toxic.) Eventually, it was discovered that
tomatoes could be used as a food source,
but it wasn't until the 18th century that it
became a popular food item.
• Thomas Jefferson can be credited with
bringing pasta to the United States. When
he served as Ambassador to France, he

42. History of Pasta
• got a taste of this tasty dish, and he liked it
so much that he ordered a pasta-making
machine sent back to the U.S., the first
"macaroni maker" in America.
• The first American commercial outfit for
the production of pasta was run by
Antoine Zerega, who opened his factory in
Brooklyn in 1848. He dried his product on
his roof in the sunshine, and powered his

43. • machinery by one horse, which he kept in
the basement.
• Ah, meatballs! Meatballs are a fairly new
addition to spaghetti. Meat was relatively
scarce in the old world and eaten only
occasionally, but when immigrants came to
America, they found that they could afford
to add it to their pasta dishes on a regular
basis.
