A staple in Italian cooking, spaghetti is a type of pasta that originated from the country and is long, cylindrical, thin, and solid.
The Italian word translates to "little twine" and is enjoyed in many countries around the world. Spaghetti is most commonly served with either a tomato based sauce by the name of 'bolognese', with meatballs, or with a creamy, herby sauce.
Spaghetti belongs to the pasta family, meaning it's made from a simple dough that doesn't rise. The dough is then rolled into sheets or shapes before cooking by boiling (and occasionally baking).
The majority of dried pasta are made from water and semolina flour only. Fresh pasta may have some egg added, but for the most part, all you need to make some yummy pasta are flour and water, mixed into a paste. Speaking of paste, the Italian version of the word is where pasta comes from.
Spaghetti is one of the top three most popular types of pasta, along with penne and macaroni. It's long, thin and, like the other pasta variations, is shaped to hold as much sauce as it can. Here are some of the best pasta puns about spaghetti for you to slurp up too!
