Italian pasta seems to predate at least Marco Polo's Chinese expeditions.
We had a discussion on this a while back. I think some of these comments
can be found in this file in the FOOD section of my Florilegium:
pasta-msg         (72K)  5/ 6/99    Period pasta. Period referances. Recipes.

Yes, I believe from previous discussions here, that England vs. the
Continent does provide some examples of regional variations as does
food from the American colonies vs. food from England in colonial times.
