What do I have to say about this dish? BELLISSMO! Oh and DELIZIOSA! I’m not Italian, but I love them for many different reasons, one being the amazing dishes they have put out into the world. From pasta to pizza, there’s no denying the Italians have a sophisticated palette. Italian food fills the tummy and captures the heart.

Fun facts about spaghetti:

• it’s believed the Etruscans made pasta as early as 400 B.C
• spaghetti is the plural form of the Italian word “spaghetto”, which comes from the base “spago”, meaning “thin string”
• January 4th is National Spaghetti Day!
• during World War II, American soldiers became familiar with European cuisine, and came home tales about spaghetti, demanding its presence on the American market

The great thing about spaghetti, or pasta in general, is that it blends well with nearly any flavor. You can get as creative as you like with spaghetti dishes. You can make spaghetti salads with store-bought dressings or make your own dressing and drench your spaghetti with it. Also, you can change up sauces on spaghetti. There’s such a variety of them ranging from pesto to marinara. I love experimenting with sauces and dressings in general. So, imagine what flavorful dishes I can come up with when it comes to pasta! You can too!
