The bleedin' Chinese invented it. According to 'Unwrapped' on the Food Channel. Another childhood belief dashed. :-(

1. Spaghetti is not Italian |

Marco Polo brought noodles back from China.
And Tomatoes came from the New World. So....
That makes Spaghetti in Tomato Sauce a fusion cuisine; the first Chinese American dish.
