Marco Polo brought these noodles to Italy, and we called them spaghetti

Some historians claim that Marco Polo discovered noodles in the Arab world, and historians still debate whether he really discovered them in China

We make this sauce by boiling tomatoes, other vegetables, and spices for many, many hours―sometimes as long as one day
