Cultural Note
The word 'spaghetti' is already plural (singular: 'spaghetto,' though rarely used). Cutting spaghetti or eating them with a spoon is considered a tourist move. The correct technique is twirling a few strands around your fork. 'Spaghetti bolognese' doesn't exist in Italy -- in Bologna, the sauce (ragu) is served with tagliatelle, not spaghetti.
