The explorer who is often credited with introducing Italians to spaghetti is Marco Polo. After his travels to Asia in the late 13th century, he returned to Italy with tales of various foods, including a noodle-like dish resembling what we now know as pasta. However, it's important to note that pasta had already existed in Italy prior to Polo’s travels; he is more famously associated with popularizing it rather than introducing it entirely.
Pasta was believed to originate in Italy but recent evidence has shown that China was actually the birth place of pasta.
