Its National Spaghetti Day on Friday, January 4th! Did you know that in the year 2010, 1.3 million pounds of spaghetti were sold in American grocery stores? If all of those packages were lined up, they would circle the Earth nine times! On National Spaghetti Day, we associate pasta with the Italians, who have revolutionized the dish and invented a wide variety of pasta shapes. These include farfalle, conchiglie, rotini, penne, tortellini, and, of course, spaghetti. Spaghetti is the most common round-rod type of pasta and in Italian, "spaghetti" means "little lines." Spaghetti is traditionally served with tomato sauce and Parmesan cheese, but you can also add meat, garlic, oil, and pepper for extra flavor.
Restaurateur's Pierre and Marietta Bain announced in honor National Spaghetti Day, Fandango will be serving a lunch special of Pasta St. Bayon with choice of soup and salad and dessert for $14.95 plus tax. Named after a town in the South of France, this pasta dish has sundried tomatoes, gorgonzola cheese and walnuts! In addition, post on Fandango's Facebook page what your favorite noodle is and why; and you could be the lucky winner of one of 5 pasta lunches given away on January 4th only.
