The Real Story of Pasta: China, Italy, and How Noodles Took Over the World

Did the Chinese really inspire Italy's beloved pasta? Did the two cultures connect through the Silk Road or Marco Polo? Or is it possible that noodles don't actually belong to either of those countries- but instead a much older and far more fascinating history? Today we follow the evidence to trace the spread of noodles from the earliest archeological finds to the Instant Ramen of the 20th century- along the way, trying some of the great specialties of 4000 years of global history. - Please "Like" if you enjoy the video, subscribe to the channel, and turn on notifications!
