It is stated that it was not Marco Polo who brought back pasta after his journey to China as the Chinese were already eating a noodle-like food since 3000 BC and Polo had just brought it back to Italy to be modified. There is some evidence of Estrusco-Roman noodle which is now called “lasagne” but that was already in Marco Polo’s time. So even today, the origin of pasta is still being speculated.
 * The Italian explorer, Marco Polo, is credited with bringing back pasta from China in 1295; however, this is disputed by some historians. Research the origins of pasta and present your findings in a brief paragraph. **

The Lucini brothers were fabric merchants that lived in Intra on Lake Maggiore. They were forced to leave Italy after they lost a battle to be republic. In 1852, Pietro arrived in Melbourne and opened a macaroni business which had very little customers after also trying to sell his beautiful fabrics, this caused him to shut it down. He then headed to the goldfields where he started a bakery which then later converted to pasta production which was then well established by the end of 1855 and also discovered agold mine. In 1859, his brother Giacamo and his wife had moved down too, and this was the year that the macaroni factory was born. During the 1870’s gathered some other settlers in the area and formed the “Hepburn Democratic Club”.
 * The Old Macaroni Factory in Hepburn Springs in Victoria is the legacy of the Lucini brothers. Give a brief summary of their story and include images of their factory. **

Then crack open an egg into the bowl of flour and add some salt onto the yolk. || [[image:egg_1.jpg width="197" height="132"]] ||
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">2) Gently crack the yolk with a fork and then slowly stir the egg white and yolk together carefully without any flour. || <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">[[image:egg_3.jpg width="203" height="137"]] ||
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">3) After stirring the egg together to make a light orange colour, start adding in small amounts of the top layer of flower. Continue this until the mixture thickens a lot. || <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">[[image:egg_2.jpg width="210" height="126"]] ||
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">4) When the mixture is beginning to stick to the bench, then you have to roll it into a ball. If it does stick a lot during this process, try sprinkling more flour onto it and mix it in together for about 2-3 minutes. || <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">[[image:egg_4.jpg width="184" height="137"]] ||
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">5) Flatten the ball of dough using your palm, then fold it over and repeat the process by also turning it over. Do this for about 5-7 minutes or when you see little bubble like forms on it, then put a little more flour on it and let it rest for 5 minutes. || <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">[[image:1111.jpg width="218" height="133"]] ||
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">6) Cover the bench with some sprinkled flour, lay out the mixture and then use a rolling pin to roll the mixture out into a large circle starting from the middle and moving towards the outside. Do this many times from all directions until you’re left with a large, yet fairly thin mixture which should take about 8-10 minutes. || [[image:dough_5.jpg width="219" height="147"]] ||
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">7) Cut and shape your mixture depending on the pasta you’re wanting to make. || [[image:2222222.jpg width="197" height="139"]] ||
