Pasta Was First Eaten in China. Did you know that among all of his big accomplishments that Thomas Jefferson was the first person to bring pasta to America? He did this back in 1789.

Consistency in shape is a hallmark of great pasta. For some forms, the dough is rolled into sheets and stamped out. Bow ties are made this way, with the added step of crimping the center of each piece—which is why this pasta is the most difficult and most expensive to make, according to the National Pasta Association.
