5. Pasta
You can easily be tricked into believing that pasta originated in Italy. But there’s bad news! It’s not. Surprisingly, this is another dish that comes from China.
Pasta became popular in Italy when it was introduced by European travelers in the 13th century. How cool is this?
Egg noodles are well-known for being part of the Chinese diet, which is also very healthy as well. They were first made in the 1st century BC. Wow!
Nowadays, pasta is a very versatile food that, when combined with tomato sauce and other Mediterranean spices, is usually cooked in Italian cuisine.
You can easily pair it with chicken, or even beef and shrimp.
