n Often accompanied by an tomato sauce. When we say “spaghetti dinner” or “spaghettin sauce,” most of us think of spaghetti topped with tomato saucen flavored with garlic and onion, basil and oregano, maybe mushrooms,n and maybe ground beef meatballs or sausage. BUT people eat spaghettin pasta in lots of other ways, too: topped with just olive oil andn cheese, or butter and fried onions, or chile, chicken, colorfuln peppers, snow peas and sugar snap peas, Alfredo sauce, clams, andn just about every other yummy thing!n
