Celebrate World Pasta Month at Buca Di Beppo

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Buca di Beppo®. All opinions are 100% mine.

October is World Pasta Month, clearly that means it’s time for a celebration! Did you know pasta is so popular in the United States that 24% of the global consumption of pasta is by Americans. We consume 6 billion pounds of pasta each year with the average American consuming 20 pounds of pasta annually. I can blame part of that on my sister, I think she serves pasta with almost every meal.
