Usually, this is the American understanding of "spaghetti":

This is "spag bol" or spaghetti with American meat sauce. Now I must deny that Indonesians usually introduce spaghetti by Americans, so this is also our general view of spaghetti.

But we overcame it and began to look for its original place:

This is the Italian sausage leek sauce I ate in pizza.

So simple, but it's like heaven. But this is a typical pasta in Italian food.

And all kinds of sauces. The original ragù Allah meat sauce includes: carrots, celery, onions, parsley, Italian bacon, minced meat, cheese and tomatoes. Personally, I like to add Italian sausage consisting of pork, fennel seeds, garlic, pepper, olive oil, salt, pepper and a little nutmeg. They are not as sweet and simple as typical American miso noodles, because you usually soak them in vegetable stock and wine. Many American sauces do not add unpopular ingredients, such as carrots or celery, or even parsley, which obviously reduces their nutritional content.

So far, imagine all kinds of ingredients and the nutrition that comes with them. The quantity of vegetables, herbs, spices and meat is quite balanced. Yes, now they use olive oil instead of traditional lard.

American spaghetti uses spaghetti and sauce as customized things. Can be combined with each other. But in Italian cooking, you have to make your pasta like this:

You stir it first and let it absorb the sauce with a small fire. This can control the amount of pasta. A typical serving ranges from 60g to100g. Sometimes I feel that I am an American, so I add 150g.

Usually, you will use salad with pasta, but in cold weather, you will use zuppa instead. If you like, you can order the second dish, which is your "main course" or "protein", that is, meat. Italians rarely have this kind of food.

That's it. Italians usually eat spaghetti not just to fill their stomachs. Besides, the portions of spaghetti are much smaller than those provided by many American restaurants.

Italian soup and Italian salad use many fresh ingredients and feature various vegetables and meat. This is the nutrition they need most, followed by pasta, plus carbohydrates. Then, the Italians walk home instead of driving. Food is only one reason, but their lifestyle is another reason why Italians are healthier. Sugar-free soda, sugar-free snacks, sugar-free cakes, sugar-free coffee, etc.

Discovering the secret of Mediterranean diet also includes growing up with our sense of taste.

Don't refuse herbs, onions, carrots, celery or other aromatic ingredients, just eat cheese and other forms of fat.

Look at this most popular Mediterranean herb:

The vitamin C content of citrus fruits is three times that of citrus fruits, but it still does not show the ridiculously high content of flavonoid antioxidants.

Editor:

Italians and Americans have given many reasons to explain why I need to answer this question completely:

Americans really think that spag bol is made in Italy, but many American friends think this is an unhealthy reason:

Americans use too many processed ingredients, while in Italy, people tend to cook with fresh ingredients. This is the main reason for ... ...

For example, if you know what most Americans eat at home, you will find that it uses all kinds of cheap supermarket cheese, which is often not real cheese. Or, if they don't have time, they will provide Kraft's fast food. In Italy, the closest one is quatro formaggio, which is made of fresh cheese. The strong spicy taste of all kinds of Italian cheese will drown your senses and may make you stop eating after your senses are constantly attacked. You may want to taste the mild main tannins. However, macaroni and cheese are products that make you addicted and eager for more, because it should increase Kraft's income.
