National Pasta Month

National Pasta Month celebrates pasta throughout the month of October, highlighting its many shapes, varieties, and possibilities. From spaghetti and penne to lasagna and ravioli, pasta can be prepared in traditional ways or used as the starting point for something new. The month also emphasizes pasta’s convenience, versatility, and affordability as a meal or side dish, according to the National Pasta Association’s Share the Pasta program.

According to Barilla’s account of the observance, National Pasta Month was established in 2011 by the U.S. National Pasta Association to inspire people to enjoy pasta in both traditional and new ways. October is also home to National Pasta Day on October 17, offering an additional opportunity to gather around a pasta meal.
