Few people know that Spaghetto ad Archetto is not only a treat for the palate, but also a test of the chef's skills.
This type of pasta is twice as long as traditional spaghetti, making it a culinary challenge. The arch helps the pasta to dry and allows air to circulate evenly.
Legend has it that Marco Polo brought spaghetti from China to Italy in 1295, but there are other fascinating stories. Pakistan claims that spaghetti was created by a sultan in the 6th century AD, while the Arabs, who perfected the process of drying pasta in their dry climate, introduced it to Sicily in the 9th century.
