Pasta is a staple food of Italian cuisine, dating back to the 9th century. Its origins can be traced to the Arab conquerors who introduced the concept of dried pasta to Italy.

The word "pasta" itself comes from the Latin word "paste," referring to the dough made from durum wheat flour and water. The first written record of pasta dishes was in a text from the early 14th century in Italy.

Over the centuries, pasta has become a staple food worldwide, with many different varieties and shapes, including spaghetti, macaroni, fettuccine, and ravioli.

Today, pasta is enjoyed in many different cuisines and is a popular ingredient in dishes such as lasagna, carbonara, and alfredo.
