We all had those days in college when we had nothing to eat but spaghetti and tomato sauce, spaghetti and cheese, spaghetti and ground beef, spaghetti and garlic butter, and spaghetti casseroles. We came up with every variation possible, simply out of necessity. Thank God for spaghetti � it kept us from starving for all of those years, kept our bellies full so we could study for that algebra exam.

We know what we've done with it, but did you ever think about what spaghetti is, where spaghetti came from, and how spaghetti got to be so popular? Spaghetti is a type of pasta most often made from water mixed with milled wheat, but it can be made with other types of flour. Although spaghetti has been an Italian staple since time immemorial and many believe it was discovered by the Italians, it can actually be traced back to the ancient Chinese. There's a popular story of the great Venetian voyager, Marco Polo, travelling to China and eating spaghetti for the first time. He loved it so much, he brought it back to Venice and it has been a delicacy in Italy ever since. Of course, the type of spaghetti Marco Polo ate in China would have been very different from the kind of spaghetti the Italians create today. The Chinese spaghetti would have probably been made with rice flour rather than wheat, and a little more like the Italian �lasagna�. Although there is much speculation over the historical accuracy of this story, it's fun to think about! One thing's for sure: spaghetti did NOT originate in Italy, but it became popular there.
