Historically, the official mention of the term "spaghetto" can be traced to the first dictionary of the Italian language by Nicolo Tommaseo and Bernardo Bellini (1819). The word "spaghetto" was included as a "diminutive of spago (thread) in the masculine singular" and references "Minestra di Spaghetti" (spaghetti soup), which is pasta the size of a long thin thread, such as sopracapellini (a type of spaghetti )". Interesting fact: in 1957, the BBC showed the first documentary about the production of spaghetti, and the very next day television studios were inundated with phone calls from viewers asking for the names of spaghetti manufacturers and distributors in order to buy it. Spaghetti is so versatile that you can Serve with any condiments from fish to meat, vegetables to cheese, but they are also excellent simply with extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
