I love MEatballs and spaghetti. It is an American meal that has pasta , sauce and meatballs.
It is American?  That is interesting!  I thought it was a traditional Italian dish!  
Italinan writers make fun of the dish as being non Italian . in italy meatballs are served only with egg based baked pasta or and are a lot smaller in size.
Wow!  That is crazy!  I can't believe I thought it was Italian!  Is pizza a real Italian dish?
There are various types of pasta that include meat and are considered part of the tradition of Abruzzo, Sicily, Apulia and other areas of Italy.
What are some of the different types of pasta that are considered tradition and authentic?
There are other dishes that similar  to spaghetti and meatballs which have past seduta , seated pasta and macaroni azzese in Apulia.
