Spaghetti with meatballs (or Spaghetti and meatballs) is a dish that usually consists of spaghetti, tomato sauce and meatballs.
According to Food Network host and correspondent Alton Brown, early 20th-century Italian immigrants in New York City were the first to make it and the National Pasta Association (originally named the National Macaroni Manufacturers Association) was the first organization to publish a recipe for it in the 1920s. [1]
However, food critic and author Kyle Phillips says he has found similar dishes in Italy that pre-date it.
- "...though Spaghetti with meatballs are rare in Italy there are Italian precursors: I have had spaghetti with tiny meatballs in Puglia, [Sicilian food authority] Pino Correnti notes that meatballs were a common addition to feast day pasta sauces in Sicily..."[2]
In the vast majority of cases, however, Old World Italian cuisine calls for mixing heavy meat sauces with fettuccine and tagliatelle but not spaghetti.[3]
