PASTA

Although pasta originated from other countries, it is one of those staple foods that the Greeks have adopted and turned it into many different dishes with a Greek flavour.

As Greece has seen many poor times, it is no wonder that pasta has become a favourite meal. The history of Greece and Italy has intertwined over the years and being close neighbours, many dishes have crossed the seas to be taken up by other countries.

As well as dishes like Spagetti Bolognese and Carbonara, both favourites in Greece, there are many other Greek pasta recipes such as Yiouvetsi and Pastitsio.
