Maka-pasta po ako!

Yup! Pasta is the name. Haha. Totoo. I am addicted to pastas, any kind of it. Even if punta kami ng mall, ayoko sa McDo, Chowking not even sa Jollibee although I admit mahal ko ang iba kaso mas mahal ko ang Greenwich. Ang sarap sarap ng pasta nila doon, pizza at french fries and of course, ang favorite ko na four seasons. Nang dahil sa mga fast food chains na to especially Greenwich, ito ang rason kung bakit ako tumaba starting last year nong time na nagwowork pa ako as a writer in an online job. Haay.. those were the days. 

But wait, ano ba meron sa pasta at ang sarap nito?

Sabi ni pareng Google, pasta daw has a long and noble history. I also saw in the TV sa channel ng Lifestyle Network yong show ng dalawang Italyano na chef na favorite ni mama panoorin. I learned na ang pasta daw ay  pagkain ng mga poor sa Italya. It was invented daw ng isang mahirap na Italyano preferrably sa Naples with the intention na this food can be stored up for years for the poor to have enough to eat three times a day. It was indeed, the pride and glory of Italy. And isa sa mga royal blood ng Italy, si Queen Margarita came to the community of the poor and nakikain sa tinaguriang "pagkain ng mga mahihirap" at dahil doon mas na-appreciate ito ng kanyang mga nasasakupan at mas napamahal siya rito. 

And because of that also, ginawan ng mga chef sa Naples ang Reyna ng pizza at pasta na ipinangalan sa kanya. So if you like to travel to Italy then better yet order their famous pasta or pizza Margarita. Ang hindi ko lang alam if saan talaga nag-originate ang pasta kase apart from Italy, ang bansang China din is claiming that they have been making pasta since at least 3000 B.C. It was even thought of that Marco Polo was the first navigator to have introduced pasta in Europe and the other countries as well. But either way, masarap talaga ang pasta! L'amore!  =)
