[Sca-cooks] Essay on macaroni origins (Re: Martino Corno's pasta recipe?)

In it, he cites the medieval Islamic rishta recipe cited in the Miscellany. Lots of footnotes and historical references to pasta secca (dried pasta) in medieval records, and references to when hard wheat was developed and cultivated.
