Commemorating National Spaghetti Day with what may be my favorite spaghetti dish of all. It is remarkably simple yet deliciously indulgent in the way comfort food can be. It is also reminiscent of the first pasta dish I ever had at an Italian-Japanese restaurant in the Roppongi area of Tokyo that one night my mom and I had to lay over unexpectedly on the way to Boston so many, many, many moons ago. I am so glad to have found this recipe from because I think of that pasta dish often and this brings back warm and fuzzy memories of gentler times.
