Is it true that Marco Polo introduced pasta to Italy from China?

No. Two sources directly address the pasta legend: a Wikipedia article calls Marco Polo importing pasta from China a popular misconception and notes pasta existed in Italy long before his travels, and a Skeptics StackExchange answer states noodles were already known in Europe before Marco Polo and the story is most likely false.
