Milan researchers examined the emotional and neurophysiological mechanisms that underpin the feeling of happiness when eating spaghetti etc. and came to the conclusion that consumption triggers a “powerful and lasting positive emotional-cognitive state”.
The mood-enhancing properties of pasta dishes are primarily attributed to tryptophan. This is an amino acid that is converted into serotonin in the body. This messenger substance is best known as the happiness hormone.
The research results also show that pasta dishes are associated not only with happiness, but also with family gatherings and friendship. Around 70 percent of the study participants felt “overwhelming happiness” when eating pasta, and around 40 percent would describe pasta as “comfort food”, i.e. a food that comforts.
