Sunday, October 25 is National Pasta Day and we thought it would be the perfect time to celebrate all things pasta! Linguine, fettuccine, spaghetti, tortellini, ziti—the list is endless!

Fun Facts About Pasta:

  • On average, Italians eat enough spaghetti-shaped pasta to wind around the world 15,000 times.
  • The best pasta is cooked al dente. The literal translation is “to the tooth.” It should be firm yet still be tender when eaten.
