[Sca-cooks] Noodles/Pasta

[Gwynydd Of Culloden]

I was having a discussion with a friend and he happened to mention that
"Marco Polo brought noodles back from China".  I told him that I really
didn't think it was true but, when he asked, I couldn't tell him what the
earliest known European recipe for pasta was.  Can anyone help here?

(Oh, he also said that MP brought back gunpowder ... any ideas on this one?)
