as a dish
[edit]In my experience, in the U.S. (and elsewhere), among lay people (i.e., not manufacturers, salespeople or chefs), "spaghetti" refers to a dish prepared with spaghetti pasta (often referred to as spaghetti noodles) rather than the pasta alone. The typical lay person would say something like, 'Pick up some spaghetti noodles, tomato sauce, and garlic so I can make spaghetti for dinner." I think this use of the word should be made clear if somehow a reference can be found. Kdammers (talk) 15:56, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
- Isn't that common for many foods? If I say we're having salmon or meatballs or orecchiette for dinner, I'm not saying that they'll be served uncooked or plain. --Macrakis (talk) 17:49, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
- The salmon and meatball examples are not comparable (I don't know what orecchiette is). A spaghetti dish is not just cooked noodles/pasta; it involves a whole set of other ingredients, that some might even consider more important than the wheat product. Kdammers (talk) 00:33, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
- "Go to the supermarket and get me four boxes of spaghetti, 4 boxes of macaroni, 2 boxes of angel hair, and two boxes of rotini; pasta is on sale this week." Drsruli (talk) 06:53, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Kdammers: spaghetti originated in Italy as a TYPE of pasta; your experience in the United States isn't relevant to this discussion, since for millions of Americans spaghetti and meatballs and spaghetti bolognese are typical Italian dishes... JacktheBrown (talk) 21:03, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
