Ok, so I’m a week late celebrating World Pasta Day, which was created in 1995 by the World Pasta Congress in Rome (who knew there was such a thing?). Every October 25th, World Pasta Day is celebrated internationally with events, tastings, and education of this high carb wonder. Did you know that pasta is eaten on all five continents and that the average person in North America eats 15 pounds of pasta annually, whereas the average person in Italy eats more than 51 pounds each year? And that the Chinese are on record as having eaten pasta as early as 5,000 B.C.? It’s an easy dish to love, and here’s an easy recipe from Christina! Click here for Bell Pepper Pasta with Chicken.
