Pellegrino
Artusi
,
a
nineteenth
century
Italian
businessman
who
dedicated
later
years
of
his
life
to
kitchen
science
and
art
of
eating
well
reinvented
the
culinary
culture
of
Italian
dining
experience.
When
many
of
us
think
of
pasta
we
think
of
Italian
food,
and
most
people
believe
that
it
originated
there.
While
pasta
is
traditionally
Italian,
it
actually
has
a
very
ancient
history
that
makes
it
almost
impossible
to
know
who
came
up
with
the
dish
first.It
is
likely
a
descendent
of
ancient
Asian
noodles.
A
common
belief
about
pasta
is
that
it
was
brought
to
Italy
from
China
by
Marco
Polo
during
the
13th
century.
Noodles
existed
in
Asia
long
before
Polo
s
trip
to
China.
Archaeologists
believe
that
central
Asia
is
most
likely
the
first
area
to
have
produced
noodles
thousands
of
years
ago.
From
Asia,
it
traveled
westward.
The
way
it
reached
Europe
is
unclear,
though
there
are
many
theories
some
believe
that
nomadic
Arabs
are
responsible
for
bringing
early
forms
of
pasta
westward.
Once
it
reached
the
Mediterranean
the
process
was
refined,
and
durum
wheat
became
the
ingredient
of
choice
for
pasta
flour
because
of
its
high
gluten
content
and
long
shelf
life.
When
durum
wheat
pasta
is
dried,
it
lasts
indefinitely,
making
it
a
very
convenient
food
to
store.
Over
time,
because
of
pasta
s
affordability,
shelf
life,
and
versatility,
it
became
firmly
rooted
in
Italian
culture.
The
great
value,
convenience
and
variety
that
pasta
has
to
offer
have
ensured
its
popularity
with
food
lovers
everywhere.
Pasta
has
to
be
the
world’s
ultimate
convenience
food
.
It
is
also
one
of
the
world
s
most
accessible
foods.
Nearly
every
country
has
its
own
unique
version
of
this
popular,
inexpensive
staple.
In
Germany
and
Hungary
they
have
spaetzle.
In
Greeze,
orzo.
In
Poland,
they
enjoy
pocket-like
pierogi.
Ashkenazi
Jewish
families
make
kreplach
dumplings.
And
in
America,
pasta
is
prepared
and
served
similarly
to
the
way
it
is
found
in
Italy–
with
the
exception
of
all-American
spaghetti
and
meatballs.
Artusi
Ristorante,
a
prominent
Italian
specialty
restaurant
in
Gurgaon
is
one
such
eatery
which
is
still
recreating
Artusi’s
philosophy
of
fine
dining
,
the
Italian
way
.
With
their
mouth
watering
creations
and
to
die
for
menu
,
one
needs
to
visit
to
find
out
the
age
old
flavours
and
home
made
Italian
cuisines
served
with
pride
and
lots
of
Mamma
Mia
kind
of
love.
