Spaghetti is a long, thin, cylindrical pasta that is a staple in Italian cuisine and loved worldwide for its versatility and satisfying texture. Made traditionally from durum wheat semolina, spaghetti is known for its firm bite and ability to hold up well in a variety of sauces. It is most famously paired with tomato-based sauces, such as marinara or Bolognese, but also works well with creamy, oil-based, or seafood sauces. Spaghetti is easy to cook, quick to prepare, and perfect for both simple weeknight meals and more elaborate pasta dishes. Its shape makes it ideal for twirling and absorbing rich flavors in every bite.
