Spaghetti is a long, string-shaped kind of pasta. The word spaghetti was first used in 1849 as spaghetti
in Eliza Acton’s Modern Cookery. It comes from Italian spaghetti, which means “string”.
Spaghetti is made from wheat noodles, which are boiled in water for a short time. Spaghetti can either
be served as a side dish, or as a main dish. As a main dish, a sauce is added. There are many different
kinds of sauces. Simpler ones are made of butter, more complicated ones include tomatoes, garlic,
olive oil and various other herbs. Different varieties with mussels, fish or meat also exist. Ground
Parmesan cheese is often added. In Italy the sauce is usually mixed with the spaghetti while it is being
prepared. Usually, spaghetti is eaten only with a fork, or with a fork and a spoon. Sometimes, it is cut
with a knife for small children. Many Italians see using a knife to eat spaghetti as bad manners, except
to prepare it for small children.
There is a story about how spaghetti came to Italy. In the legend, Marco Polo found spaghetti in China
during his visit in 1295, and he took some back to Italy. Today, spaghetti is eaten everywhere. In the

VII. Read the text and write True or False after each statement.
The origin of the word pizza is uncertain. The food was invented in Naples about 200 years ago. It is
the name for a special type of flatbread, made with special dough. The pizza enjoyed a second birth as
it was taken to the United States in the later 19th century.
Flatbreads like the focaccia from Liguria have been known for a very long time. Pizzas need to be
baked at temperatures of 200 - 250°C. Hardly any household oven could reach such temperatures at
the time. Because of this, the pizza was made at home, and then given to the town bakery to bake. In
June 1889, the Neapolitan chef Raffaele Esposito created the “Margherita” in honour of Queen
Margherita, and was the first pizza to include cheese.
Pizza was brought to the United States with Italian immigrants in the late nineteenth century; and first
appeared in areas where Italian immigrants concentrated. The country’s first pizzeria, Lombardi’s,
opened in 1905. Veterans returning from World War IPs Italian Campaign were a ready market for
pizza. Since then pizza consumption has exploded in the U.S. Pizza chains such as Domino’s, Pizza Hut,
and Papa John’s, have outlets all over the nation. Thirteen percent of the U.S. population eats pizza on
any given day.

2. ____ Pizza is made with special dough, but it isn’t a type of flatbread.
