The spaghetti with tomato dish is a very tasty and very easy to prepare. It affects how despite the simplicity of preparation there are many different ways to prepare this dish first. Clearly the differences are in how to prepare tomato sauce. In fact some use garlic, some onion, some garlic and onion together; to remove the taste a little bitter tomato use some sugar others sodium bicarbonate. And you could list many other differences.

In the book "A table with the story" the author, Maria Luisa Minareli, tells of an episode in which the protagonists are great actresses Anna Magnani, Ingrid Bergman and director Roberto Rossellini.
