Today weβre making Shanxi Mao Er Duo (η«θ³ζ΅, translate to βCatβs Earβ) with a spinach twist. These noodles caught my eye because they look almost identical to the Italian pasta cavatelli. After some digging, I found out they were invented independently over 1500 years ago. Shanxi is often called the home of Chinese noodles, while Italy is the heart of pasta, and both regions developed similar techniques by hand rolling, pressing, and shaping dough since wheat was a major crop in both places. The similarities continue in their food traditions. In Shanxi, families also can tomato sauces for the whole year just like in Italy. The most popular topping for Mao Er Duo is tomato and egg, a simple and comforting comb.

As an archaeologist, I love it when people recognise that sometimes, cultures independently invent the same thing. Italian pasta and Chinese noodles were invented separately over time, one did not come from the other

To those who say pasta is different from noddles.
I would say, yes pasta is different from noodles. What Marco Polo brought back was just that Chinese noodle making machine from China in the 11th century simply because trading luxury items and goods was his hobby. He as well as other Venetians didn't know how it operates, and they thought it was an exotic magical device that splits hairballs into wigs. Then Marco went back to China again and saw that same ancient machine with the roller and stuff and then went back to boost the pasta making which would technically have been made by Italian hands up to this day, had it not been for this Chinese exotic device.
