Spaghetti is a type of pasta that is believed to have originated in 12th century Sicily. It is a long, thin and cylindrical pasta that is made from flour and water. The Italian type is made from durum wheat semolina but other kinds of flour can also be used.
Spaghetti is cooked by boiling it in water. Fresh spaghetti is the best, but it needs to be cooked quickly to enjoy at its best, so commonly people will buy dried spaghetti and then cook it as needed.
In Italy, spaghetti is usually served with tomato sauce, usually with herbs added, and Bolognese, which is a meat-based sauce, is also very popular, both in and outside of Italy.
As well as fresh and dried spaghetti, it can also be bought in tins already in a tomato based sauce, such as Heinz Spaghetti. In the US, it is also served quite commonly with chilli con carne.
