I’m not sure what OOP calls pasta, but according to wikipedia they had it in the old world:
Evidence of Etruscans making pasta dates back to 400 BCE. The first concrete information on pasta products in Italy dates to the 13th or 14th centuries
Combining flour, water, and an egg isn’t difficult. If you told me that was the second thing that happened after figuring out how to make flour I’d believe it. Like flat bread, proto-pasta, leavened bread in that order makes the most sense to me.
