Pasta - did the Romans have it?

[Emeraldweapon7d]

From what I can tell, they had something sort of like pasta, although it was fried, not cooked in water. It was just a paste of wheat flour and water fried in oil, sometimes interpreted as pasta but very unlike what we are familiar with.

that description reminds me of the stuff the the bald guy( i forget which bald guy or what the guy's name was, throw me a bone i watched it in manderin) in croutching tiger hidden dragon was making, he just took this lump of dough and a knife and just started sliceing it and it flew a bit into a wok of oil.
