History of Ravioli. “The word “ravioli” comes from the Italian riavvolgere, which means “to wrap.” ... It may be surprising, however, that ravioli was not served with tomato sauce until the 16th century, when tomatoes were introduced to Italy from the New World. Prior to this, ravioli was served al brodo, in broth. The word “ravioli” comes from the Italian riavvolgere, which means “to wrap.” While ravioli’s origins are obscure, the earliest mentions come from 14th century manuscripts. In pieces by Francesco di Marco Datini, a merchant of Prato, there is a recipe for ravioli that consists of chopped blanched green herbs, fresh cheese, and beaten egg, then simmered in broth. This is very similar to contemporary preparations of ravioli. Surprisingly, there were also mentions of ravioli in 14th century England, in a cookbook by King Richard II’s chefs. They are referred to as “rauioles.” Food historians note that Sicilian and Maltese ravioli may precede North Italian versions, using sheep’s milk ricotta or sheep’s milk cheese. In 16th century Rome, ravioli is mentioned when Bartolomeo Scappi served them to a papal concave. It may be surprising, however, that ravioli was not served with tomato sauce until the 16th century, when tomatoes were introduced to Italy from the New World. Prior to this, ravioli was served al brodo, in broth.” https://toscanaslc.com/blog/ravioli-an-appreciation/ Stop in today.

Lasagna The name can be traced back to Ancient Greece: Lasagna, or “Lasagne” -derived from the Greek word 'Laganon'; the first known form of pasta. Italy should be credited for perfecting the layers and layers of deliciousness that is lasagna. The first recorded recipe was set down in the early 14th century Liber de Coquina (The Book of Cookery). https://viaverdimiami.com/the-history-of-lasagna/ Regardless of who can claim the lasagna fame, we are grateful to whomever is responsible for passing this recipe on through the centuries.

History of Spaghetti Classic pasta: sting like strands of spaghetti. Spaghetti is one of more than 600 pasta shapes, from tubular penne to farfalle's bow ties or campanelle: the bell-shaped. The name came from the Italian word “spaghetti” plural of spaghetto. Diminutive of spago - meaning “thin rope” or “twine,” per www.dictionary.com. The National Pasta Association notes that the Chinese are on record as having eaten pasta as early as 5,000 B.C., and contrary to popular belief, Marco Polo did not discover pasta; the ancient Italians made pasta much like we do today. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/archaeology-and-history/magazine/2016/07-08/daily-life-pasta-italy-neapolitan-diet Stop in today. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/archaeology-and-history/magazine/2016/07-08/daily-life-pasta-italy-neapolitan-diet #eating #pasta #happy #feelings #zio #johno’s

Pasta Sauce Not all pastas are meant to be enjoyed with all sauces. Long, flat pasta such as fettuccine and linguine are best paired with creamy sauces, which clings better to their shape. Thicker, chunkier tomato sauces go better with tubular or spiral shaped pastas: rotini, fusilli, mostaccioli. source - https://www.foodnetwork.ca/fun-with-food/photos/facts-you-didnt-know-about-pasta/#!family-eating-pasta Alfredo sauce over fettuccine noodles.
