History, tradition and origin
Dried pasta made from hard durum wheat was produced in Sicily and southern Italy in the Middle Ages, and fresh egg pasta belongs to the richer north. Tomato sauce arrived only after tomatoes came from the Americas. Each shape has a home region and a sauce it suits. Risotto comes from the rice-growing plains of the Po valley.
Food economy and industry
Italy is the largest pasta producer and exporter, and Italians eat more per person than anyone else. Durum wheat is grown in Italy, Canada and the United States, and its price swings with the weather. Industrial pasta is extruded and dried in hours, while smaller makers use bronze dies and slow drying and charge more for it.
