I think you didn't read your quote carefully enough:

This, combined with the fact that pasta was already gaining popularity in other areas of Italy during the 13th century, makes it very unlikely that Marco Polo was the first to introduce pasta to Italy.

Later in the article it even says:

The way it [pasta] reached Europe is unclear, though there are many theories—some believe that nomadic Arabs are responsible for bringing early forms of pasta westward.

You're right. My friend was the one who told me that Marco Polo brought it to Italy from China and I saw this in the article and that was in my head. Either way though, the Italians didn't invent it which is my main point.

great article ,thanks :)
