Hello children, I'm Biagio.

Hello children, I'm Lilli.

Do you know what we are eating?

We are eating Spaghetti with meatballs.

They are delicious but do you know who added meatballs to spaghetti?

The Americans!

Well, we want to tell you a story.

The history of spaghetti with tomato sauce.

Once upon a time, in Italy, there were “spaghetti al pomodoro”.

Children, parents and grandparents ate them every day. But the various ingredients in the recipe come from far away.

Legend has it that Marco Polo, at the end of the thirteenth century, returning from his trip to China, brought pasta to Italy.

But Marco Polo already knew pasta, and for a long time.

The Arabs introduced it to Sicily before the 12th century.
