Well, to be fair I just read the Italian version of the wiki and contains way more details .... very interesting.
First evidence of pasta like, are from Etruscan, Romans and Greeks ... since X-IX b.c. ... the evolution of pasta has 2 origins, the italian one and the chinese one (noodles), both indipendent .... first evidence of chinese pasta is dated about 3800 years ago. Wow.
Also pasta was know as làganon by Greeks, makària by Etruscan and Italian population ( meaning in short food of the gods, for funeral cerimonies) and lately maccari from Latin that means press,push ... from how pasta is made, crafted ..... maccaroni!
