Reports say the International Pasta Organisation can authoritatively trace the word ‘macaroni’ to the Greeks, who established the colony of Neopolis, that is, (modern-day Naples) between 2000 and 1000BC, and appropriated a local dish made from barley-flour pasta and water called Macaria, possibly named after a Greek goddess.31 Jan 2018
