They are an overprocessed take on Italian cuisine pushed upon youth by parents who wouldn't dare touch the stuff themselves. It smells like bile and tastes like paint.
Seriously people, is it so hard to boil pasta and mix up some tomato sauce with basil?

Spaghettios are an amazing culinary creation of small "pasta" rings in a creamy "tomato" base, which they say is a sauce, but resembles more of a soup. The two are combined in a can, and then heated up at the consumer's own risk. They are so much better when you are 10 or younger. As for pasta on pizza, I'm lost. After going to Rome, pizza is sacred to me, as is pasta, but I don't think the two should be mixed.

as above, they are a canned pasta made from macaroni cut horizontally into rings in a creamed tomato sauce with minimal flavoring and then overcooked in the canning process. The effect is like a pasta tomato soup but not as good.No self respecting Italian (including myself, "Cuban friend" is a reference to some friends) would stoop to eating them unless starving. No, I don't eat this 'thing' but I know people in the US who think that it is great Italian food. I feel sorry for them, but their parents are to blame for not exposing them to foods from all over as a child. Would love to go to Turin, but stuck here in US and married to an elected official, so I won't be going soon!
By the way, his real name was chef Boiardi, and it was so frequently mispronounced in the US that his company spelled it out phonetically 'Boy-ar-dee'.

Ciao.My parents are Italians from Naples.For me as an Italian-American that recipe is a disgrace for the sake of good food.My grandfather ( il nono) must be crazy and jumping in the grave every time he sees some junk food like that.Spaghettios,please,give a break.Buona fortuna.

Like Cheerios in a red sauce. Kids love it, Sicilian nonnas are appalled. Popular in Mexico too. Besos de Baja California, Mex.

a nasty pasta in a runny red sauce that is canned and opened for many young children for lunch. Yuk
Never heard of pasta on pizza before.

MADE BY CHEF BOYARDEE, WHO WAS AN ACTUAL ITALIAN CHEF AND ENTREPENEUR, BUT COMMERCIALIZED HIMSELF TO U.S. QUICK MEAL STANDARDS.
