National Spaghetti Day
January 4 · Level 3 · #1757 of 2238
National Spaghetti Day is an informal American food celebration devoted to a pasta shape made for twirling. It gives friends and families an easy excuse to share a meal and revisit a favorite sauce.
How it is celebrated: home cooks make spaghetti, exchange recipes and experiment with toppings. Restaurants may offer specials or discounts, while pasta lovers share pictures of their creations online.
The familiar plate of spaghetti topped with large meatballs is an Italian-American classic. Its especially strong association with the United States reflects the cooking traditions of Italian immigrant communities.
