Spaghetti pasta

Spaghetti is a long, thin, solid, cylindrical noodle pasta. It is a staple food of traditional Italian cuisine. Like other pasta, spaghetti is made of milled wheat and water and sometimes enriched with vitamins and minerals. Italian spaghetti is typically made from durum wheat semolina.

While Barilla is the most famous global producer, many retail and craft brands produce spaghetti worldwide. The origin dates back to Italy where it was popularized in the 19th century following the establishment of pasta factories. Today, it is manufactured in numerous countries to meet global demand, though premium varieties are often specifically labeled as 'Product of Italy' to signify the use of traditional bronze dies and Italian wheat.
