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 reference is made to "Minestra di Spaghetti" (spaghetti soup), which is pasta the size of a long thin thread, such as sopracapellini." Interesting Fact: In 1957, the BBC aired the first documentary on the production of spaghetti, and the very next day television studios were inundated with phone calls from viewers asking for spaghetti manufacturers and distributors so they could buy it. Spaghetti is so versatile that it can be served with any seasoning, from fish to meat, from vegetables to cheese, but they are also excellent simply with extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of parmesan.Comes in a 500 g package.
