in the USA there is National Spaghetti Day (National Spaghetti Day).
Spaghetti is a type of round pasta, thin and long threadlike round noodles. The first historical references to boiled noodles are found in the Jerusalem Talmud. According to reports, the Arabs invented this dish several thousand years ago. According to the Talmudic record, pasta has been used in food since at least the 5th century!
Today, many associate pasta with Italians, who invented a wide variety of forms of pasta and made them an integral part of the country’s culinary traditions – farfalle, shells, rotini, penne, tortellini, and, of course, spaghetti.
Spaghetti is America’s favorite pasta. In 2000, 1,3 million pounds of spaghetti were sold in American grocery stores. If all the spaghetti sold were lined up, they would have encircled the Earth nine times!
Spaghetti is traditionally served with tomato sauce and parmesan cheese, but not only. Popular recipes include meat, garlic, oil, pepper, herbs and many other ingredients. There are even sweet sauces with chocolate and vanilla.
