Pale_Horse Posted August 20, 2003 #157 Share Posted August 20, 2003 Q. Who Invented Lasagna? 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).

schadeaux Posted August 20, 2003 #168 Share Posted August 20, 2003 I believe the question was Q. Who Invented Lasagna? not "pasta" A. In the 14th century, the English had a form of what we know today as lasagna, but the Italians added such things as tomatoes and zesty spices some time later.

Lasagna was first served in the court of Richard II in the 14th century, say the researchers, who found the original recipe while studying a medieval cookbook, the forme of Cury, in the British museum.
