Spaghetti and meatballs is an Italian American dish that barely exists in Italy, and it sums up a whole cuisine built by immigrants with plenty of meat and red sauce.
The red sauce menu includes baked ziti, lasagna, chicken parm with spaghetti and fettuccine Alfredo, much creamier than the Roman original of butter and cheese. Modern trattorias serve fresh pasta like cacio e pepe, carbonara and pappardelle with ragù. Chinese places add their own noodles: scallion oil noodles, plain lo mein and soy sauce noodles.
Fresh pasta, seafood and baked dishes cost more than spaghetti with marinara. At the Italian places on SemFood, from $4.49 to $64.99.
