    Is Spaghetti and Meatballs Italian?
    Nothing says comfort like a big bowl of spaghetti and meatballs. And, nothing says Italian food like a big bowl of spaghetti and meatballs—UNLESS YOU are ITALIAN.
    “Too much garlic! Garlic everywhere,”Garlic, you see, is not quite the staple of Italian cuisine Americans think it is. Depending on who you speak to, onions are a controversial ingredient too – and don’t even think of ever combining the two in a single dish.
    Yes, Italy has its version of meatballs called Polpettes, but they differ from their American counterpart in multiple ways. They are primarily eaten as a meal itself (plain) or in soups and made with any meat from turkey to fish. Often, they are no bigger in size than golf balls; in the region of Abruzzo, they can be no bigger in size than marbles and called Polpettines.
    Simple Italian Spaghetti Sauce
    Sauce originates from Naples “There was a simple ONE(1) of garlic, oil, and tomatoes ,fresh basil.
    generous pinch of salt,and Pepper.
