Every Italian knows Marco Polo took noodles to China.
When I had Covid, I binged daily on spaghetti mixed with cream of chicken soup. I craved it - it was crazy. As much as I love pasta, I backed away after I recovered, but even today I could eat a large bowl.
I learned in High School Biology in 1979 that simple carbohydrates like the flour in pasta are one gut enzyme away from being a pile of sugar.
Of course you feel good.
The thing that amazes me about pasta is that the same basic recipe can be, and is, made into so many different shapes, and that eating the particular shapes gives unique eating pleasures.
Pasta makes me very happy.
there’s one simple way to make yourself feel better: by eating a bowl of pasta.
I knew it! Follow the science!
[And no, the Chinese didn’t invent it...]
But didn’t measure against enjoying any other meal, and only 40 subjects.

I was brought up in a household of Scandinavian parents, and ate my first plate of spaghetti with meat balls on a date in college. I had thought it was some sort of foreign delicacy. I found out that it was just a slopy, messy pungent waste of money. I really liked the atmosphere of 'Moma Rosa's' literal 'hole in the wall' restaurant, just not the food.
Love pasta, but stopped eating it for the most part years ago. Friday night pizza on the other hand...
