When did it become "pasta?" It used to be "spaghetti." Mostaccioli , rigatoni, ziti, squigglini were all "spaghetti." Even spaghetti was "spaghetti."
Maybe calling it "pasta" makes it taste better? Or perhaps more can be charged for it? Hmmm. I wonder if "pasta" is healthier than "spaghetti."
Regardless, I loved it as a kid and I still do. Thanks to Marco Polo for bringing it from China.

About Me
- Ron Marinucci
- I have been married to Karen for 47 of my 73 years. I have two sons, Mike and Matt, both adults (at least in chronological age), and three grandchildren. I am retired, I suppose. I continue to teach college history, part-time; I still enjoy it, although the increasing amount of silly paperwork is grating and will likely be what drives me to fully retire. I have a BA in history from Amherst College and three graduate degrees. I do a little writing, too, some of which actually brings in some money.
