The Real Story of Pasta: China, Italy, and How Noodles Took Over the World

Today we follow the evidence to trace the spread of noodles from the earliest archeological finds to the Instant Ramen of the 20th century- along the way, trying some of the great specialties of 4000 years of global history.
