Although pasta is Italian, World Pasta Day is celebrated in a big way all over the world, as each country has been giving it a special touch with sauces, side dishes, and even shapes.

World Pasta Day is celebrated on October 25 and has been official since 1995, the date when at a World Pasta Congress in Rome, the birthplace of pasta, its manufacturers agreed that this product deserved annual and worldwide recognition.

Pasta is made from a preparation of wheat and water, and it has a long history, as it is said that its origins date back to the time of the famous explorer Marco Polo, who introduced the way to make and eat it in the Italian peninsula.

Although this story is just an anecdote, today there are countless ways to enjoy this food, and for example, brands like La Moderna offer a wide variety of types and shapes of pasta.

Moreover, pasta made in Mexico by La Moderna is crafted 100% from durum wheat semolina, which gives the pasta its natural yellow color and contains vitamins and proteins.
