Some historians credit pasta’s arrival in Italy to Arab groups, who likely also shared their technique for drying it—which they developed as a preservation method on long journeys. This early Arabian pasta found its way to Greece as well; the ancient Greek word for ribbon is itrion, and some experts think this is related to the Arabic word for "noodle,” itriyya.

Fascinating. The history of food is so interesting - where it originated, how people learned to make sophisticated prepared food, where fruit and veggies first originated and "traveled" to, how people figured out what was edible . . . and the names too that reveal earlier origins.
