I learnt yesterday that originally Italians just put lard and a little cheese on pasta and all the different sauces are a relatively recent invention.

Cacio e Pepe is delicious. It's interesting that the tomato wasn't introduced to Italy until the 16th century. The Italians basically reinvented their cuisine over it.
