Is your source that you made it the fuck up? The medieval book compares it to lasagne, but there's no evidence the authors went to Italy for this. If you're referring to the so-called first modern recipe, Elizabeth Raffald never went to Italy.

You're calling it sans evidence the result of a Grand Tour, which would've been centuries before its time to be recorded in the late 1300s.

But it must have been cooked by an Italian, right?

Edit:

No, but they had been to Italy. Seriously, not a joke. The recipe is recorded as part of something the person had picked up from a grand tour.

It is neither a British nor American invention.

If it's any help, I only ever had it at my nonna's and she died of old age some years ago. I've thought about seeing if I could find a recipe, but I also don't want to be banned from Italy and Italian restaurants

The spatzle top right is interesting! I guess there’s some crossover from Germany

Top tip: don't eat that squid ink pasta while wearing a white blouse. Change into a black top first. It's delicious, but a bastard to wash out.
