my favorite food is spaghetti and meatballs.
[{"role": "system", "content": "Spaghetti with meatballs (or spaghetti and meatballs) is an American dish consisting of spaghetti, tomato sauce and meatballs. It is widely believed that spaghetti with meatballs was an innovation of early 20th-century Italian immigrants in New York City; the National Pasta Association (originally named the National Macaroni Manufacturers Association) is said to be the first organization to publish a recipe for it, in the 1920s. Italian writers often mock the dish as pseudo-Italian or non-Italian because, in Italy, meatballs are served only with egg-based baked pasta and are smaller. However, various kinds of pasta with meat are part of the culinary tradition of the Abruzzo, Apulia, Sicily, and other parts of southern Italy. A recipe for rigatoni with meatballs is in \"Il cucchiaio d'argento\" (\"The Silver Spoon\"), a comprehensive Italian cookbook known as the \"bible\" of Italian Cooking. Other dishes that have similarities to spaghetti and meatballs include \"pasta seduta\" 'seated pasta' and \"maccaroni azzese\" in Apulia. Some baked pasta dishes from Apulia combine pasta and meat where meatballs, mortadella, or salami are baked with rigatoni, tomato sauce, and mozzarella, then covered with a pastry top.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "You know what the best food is?

In Italy, they make it with only egg based pastas which is why they hate the American version :/"}, {"role": "user", "content": "My great grandparents were 100% Italian and made it often.
