On the occasion of World Pasta Day, CIBPA wishes to recognize this unofficial holiday which is celebrated annually on October 25th. While pasta can actually be traced back to originate in Asia thousands of years ago it is a food item considered to be perfected in Italy! Regardless of where it comes from, it is considered to be one of the top comfort foods in the world. It is also one of the most versatile foods and can be made into thousands of different dishes. As our Cana...dian temperatures cool down and bring us indoors World Pasta Day provides us with one of the many reasons to keep our family traditions going! CIBPA wishes all of our members continued good health! Mangiamo! Enjoy a delicious reminder from the CIBPA Golf Tournament in July 2018!
