Marco Polo
Italy is well known for their delicious pasta delicacy, but this is not a cultural food of Italians. In the 13th century, Marco Polo brought the Asian noodles from China to Italy and that was the time Italians adapt the noodles as their own pasta.
A theory states that pasta was brought to Italy by Marco Polo via China. Polo ventured to China in the time of the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368) and the Chinese had been consuming noodles as early as 3000 B.C. in the Qinghai province. But, this is just a theory. He did not discover pasta.
Spaghetti was invented in 12th century Sicily. It became widespread in the 19th century because factory made spaghetti was inexpensive and easy to produce and store.
