is spaggetti italian food for sure?!
Answers:
The pastas of Italy are from China and other parts of asia. Lasagna is from Afghanistan and wasn't baked. Ravioli is a form of Chinese dumpling.
Tomato sauce is new to Italy as tomatoes are from the Americas and I don't know who invented the sauce maybe Indian influence since India is the mother of spices including basil and oregeno.
Spaghetti with tomato sauce (And even the spaghetti shape) IS Italian, that is undebatable.
But what people are responding to, is what is the origin of pasta. It's actual origin is debatable - but it is definitely not Italian.
Did you want to know if pasta and/or noodles was definitely Italian or not (it isn't) or were you asking about the pasta shape called Spaghetti, or how it is traditionally served with hot tomato sauce (both the word spaghetti, the shape called spaghetti and the dish are Italian)
If you have a look on the web or you search history of the pasta, you can point out that the art of making pasta is a chinese as weel as an italian tradition... but different int erms of tools, preparation and type of crop.
For example in some catacombs in Rome there are painting about the art of making pasta (700 b.C more or less) , you can see all the tools and ingredients!
If you talk about spaghetti and you considered the italian tradition, the place where the art of spaghetti developed is a city close to Naples Gragnano.
It's a special type still nowadays

Pasta is Italian. Its plural for the word spaghetto which basically means "thin noodle". Pasta itself was believed to have come from china, but spaghetti itself is Italian. Spaghetti is actually just the noodle part of what we call spaghetti then tomato sauce is poured on.
Almost every culture has their own form of noodles. The pasta itself isn't Italian by design. Most people would credit the Chinese with coming up with noodles first. If you are talking about spaghetti like most people eat it--with a tomato based sauce then yes that is an Italian thing.
Yes, it is common here along with many other pastas. I had spaghetti aglio, olio e peperoncino just yesterday for lunch at the ristorante pizzaria Nuova duomo in Mirandola where I've been living for the last 11 years.
Yes pasta , spaghetti , ravioli , and pizza are all italian. but some prefer to say pizza is american.
Spaggetti was invented by Sir Igniciao Tortesollis in 1432, it is native to the province of Tijikistan.

Well if we're talking origins, spaghetti was inspired by Chinese noodles.
