A: As for the origins of pasta, we should run several tracks: certainly an Etruscan one, then Roman, Arabian and, may be, a Chinese one.
Etruscan archaeological findings, mainly in Cerveteri (near to Rome), display stucco relieves of several tools used for home pasta-making. They were pasta ribbons, called lágana by the Romans, from where the present name lasagna comes. Apicio, roman writer of the 1st century a.C. describes lágana in its book De re coquinaria.
The Chinese track: while it is been definitively ascertained that it wasn't Marco Polo to import the use of spaghetti from China, it also seems certain that the use of pasta in China roots extremely far back.
More documented is the Arabian track: it seems, in fact, that stipes of dried pasta were included in the staples that ships and caravans used to take away already before the year 1,000 a.C., in the period of the huge Islamic expansion. Particularly the Arab geographer Al Idrisi wrote around the year 1,150 that this flour based food in the shape of strings was called tria in Arabic and much of it was produced in Palermo, Trabia locality (Sicily).
