==International adaptations==
As pasta was introduced elsewhere in the world, it became incorporated into a number of local cuisines, which often have significantly different ways of preparation from those of Italy. When pasta was introduced to different nations, each culture would adopt a different style of preparation. In the past, [[Ancient Rome|ancient Romans]] cooked pasta-like foods by frying rather than boiling. It was also sweetened with honey or tossed with [[garum]]. Ancient Romans also enjoyed baking it in rich pies, called timballi.<ref>{{cite web|title=Pasta|url=http://www.enotes.com/pasta-reference/pasta-178091|publisher=eNotes|access-date=27 March 2012}}</ref>

In the [[Philippines]], spaghetti is often served with a distinct, slightly sweet yet flavorful meat sauce (based on tomato sauce or paste and ketchup), frequently containing ground beef or pork and diced hot dogs and ham. It is spiced with soy sauce, heavy quantities of garlic, dried oregano sprigs and sometimes with dried bay leaf, and topped with grated cheese. Other pasta dishes are also cooked nowadays in Filipino kitchens, such as carbonara, pasta with alfredo sauce, and baked macaroni. These dishes are often cooked for gatherings and special occasions, such as family reunions or Christmas.

Twice a year, hundreds of people in [[Sardinia]] make a nighttime {{convert|20|mi|adj=on}} [[pilgrimage]] from the city of [[Nuoro]] to the village of Lula for the biannual Feast of San Francesco, where they eat what is possibly the world's rarest pasta. {{lang|sc|Su filindeu}} ({{literally|threads of God}} in the [[Sardinian language]]) is an incredibly intricate semolina pasta made by just three women who only make the pasta for the festival.<ref>{{cite web |title=Threads of God |website=Gastro Obscura |url=https://www.atlasobscura.com/foods/threads-of-god-pasta-sardinia? |access-date=21 November 2022 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20221121130129/https://www.atlasobscura.com/foods/threads-of-god-pasta-sardinia? |archive-date=21 November 2022}}</ref>

===South America===
Pasta is also widespread in the [[Southern Cone]], as well most of the rest of [[Brazil]], mostly pervasive in the areas with mild to strong Italian roots, such as Central Argentina, and the eight southernmost Brazilian states (where [[macaroni]] is called {{lang|pt|macarrão}}, and more general pasta is known under the umbrella term {{lang|pt|massa}}, {{literally|dough}}, together with some [[Japanese noodles]], such as ''bifum'' [[rice vermicelli]] and [[yakisoba]], which also entered general taste). The local names for the pasta are many times varieties of the Italian names, such as {{lang|pt|ñoquis/nhoque}} for [[gnocchi]], {{lang|pt|ravioles/ravióli}} for ravioli, or {{lang|pt|tallarines/talharim}} for tagliatelle, although some of the most popular pasta in Brazil, such as the {{lang|pt|parafuso}} ('screw', 'bolt'), a specialty of the country's [[pasta salad]]s, are also way different both in name and format from its closest Italian relatives, in this case the [[fusilli]].<ref>{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20130509171339/http://receitasdafulaninha.blogspot.com.br/2011/11/tipos-de-macarrao.html#.UjtG4ax1HxU Tipos de macarrão.
