A New Encyclopedia of Pasta

For all of us who love pasta and really want to know more about it and its history, check out this article on the NY Times. I love hearing about new/old tools to make different pasta shapes and how different pasta came into being.

Did you know that pasta used to be served only at festive occasions and then in soups? Or that poor peasants would pick through the threshing floor for crumbs and toast what they found to make a very smoky pasta?

I'd love to know your biggest "ahha" from the article.

Don't forget that Abby of Eat the Right Stuff is hosting. She's also doing it for the second time and I know we can count on her for a delightful roundup. Please be sure to help her out. Send all your amazing dishes to: abby (at) eattherightstuff (dot) com and cc me ruth (at) 4everykitchen (dot) com
