It’s the one day of the year where carb-loading isn’t just encouraged but mandatory!
So, grab a fork, put on your stretchy pants and let’s dig in!

The Origin of World Pasta Day

World Pasta Day was established by the International Pasta Organization back in 1995.
And, yes, the the International Pasta Organization is a real thing.

The date of October 25th was rumored to be chosen because it was the day that pasta was first introduced in Italy in 1154. But history disagrees on this. Pasta may have been first documented somewhere in 1154, but we don’t know the date nor when pasta was actually first made and enjoyed.
But who needs facts when you have a perfectly good pasta-related excuse to celebrate?

How to Celebrate World Pasta Day

Now, let’s get to the good stuff of how to celebrate World Pasta Day!
First off, there are no rules when it comes to pasta. You can keep it simple with some classic spaghetti and meatballs or get fancy with a lobster linguine. It’s all about personal preference.

Invite your friends over for a pasta party.
Cook a big pot of pasta or ask each person to bring their favorite pasta dish and you’ll have a feast fit for royalty.

If you don’t feel like cooking, why not visit an Italian restaurant? They’re sure to have a delicious pasta dish that will satisfy your cravings.

Don’t forget to pair your pasta dish with a glass of red wine, like a Sauvignon or the classic Chianti or go for the deliciously refreshing mineral water with or without bubbles.

🍝🍜

The beauty of pasta is that it’s a universal language. No matter where you go in the world, everyone speaks ‘spaghetti’.
So, go forth and if anyone asks why you’re carb-loading with reckless abandon, just tell them Wild Calendar gave you permission.

Happy World Pasta Day!
