While it's true that he probably encountered it there -- or at least a type of long noodle made from either rice flour or hard wheat flour -- pasta had existed in Europe for centuries. In fact, a fourth century B.C. Etruscan tomb has a bas-relief carving of a group of

• natives making what appears to be pasta. Pasta in Italy is a long tradition!

• Pasta certainly existed in places other than Italy, however. The Chinese had been making it since at least 3000 B.C. And Greece claimed its share of the credit -- according to Greek mythology, the Greek God Vulcan invented a device that created long strings of dough.

• Ah, meatballs! Meatballs are a fairly new addition to spaghetti. Meat was relatively scarce in the old world and eaten only occasionally, but when immigrants came to America, they found that they could afford to add it to their pasta dishes on a regular basis.
