Spaghetti is a long, string-shaped kind of pasta.[1][2]
The word spaghetti was first used in 1824 in the work Li maccheroni di Napoli by Antonio Viviani .[3][4] A single strand of spaghetti is called a spaghetto,[2][5] which means "short/little string" in Italian.[6]
Spaghetti is made from wheat noodles, which are boiled in water for a short time. Spaghetti can either be served as a side dish, or as a main dish. As a main dish, a sauce is added. There are many different kinds of sauces. Simpler ones are made of butter, more complicated ones include tomatos, garlic, olive oil and various other herbs. Different varieties with mussels, fish or meat also exist. Ground parmesan cheese is often added.
In Italy, the sauce is usually mixed with the spaghetti while they are being prepared. Usually, spaghetti is eaten only with a fork, or with a fork and a spoon. Sometimes, they are cut with a knife for small children. Many Italians see using a knife to eat spaghetti as bad manners, except to prepare them for small children.
In the United States, there is a kind of spaghetti called "Alvaro's spaghetti" which is served with alfredo sauce. In some countries, like United States or Canada, meatballs are often in the spaghetti sauce.
In China, spaghetti is often made by hand. In Italy, spaghetti is made with a machine so that large amounts can be made quickly. Italy is the biggest producer and consumer of spaghetti in the world.[7]
It is also a popular dish in Libya.[8]
Spaghetti is called by other words when it has a different thickness: "spaghettini (n. 3)" (which means "little spaghetti"), "spaghetti (n. 5)", and "spaghettoni (n. 8)" (which means "big spaghetti").
Usually, spaghetti leftovers last in a fridge for around 3 to 5 days, while spaghetti in a freezer will last more than one month.[9]
