spaghetti
Long Italian pasta
Spaghetti is pasta in long, thin, solid strands—thinner than linguine, thicker than angel hair.
It's typically served with tomato-based sauces, though any sauce works.
Spaghetti and meatballs is an Italian-American staple.
Figuratively, anything tangled or messy resembles spaghetti: spaghetti code describes disorganized programming, and a spaghetti western is an Italian-made cowboy film.
