If you didn't make dinner plans for Jan. 4, you needn't worry, because it just so happens to mark National Spaghetti Day. That's right: you should be indulging in that deliciously tasty pasta on this night, and spending your day sharing anything and everything spaghetti. A good start: these spaghetti quotes for National Spaghetti Day. Who knew there was so much to say about spaghetti? Or really, should it even be that surprising? It is, after all, a dinner staple pretty much around the right.
If we want to get technical, spaghetti is actually just a type of noodle, which means that you can celebrate National Spaghetti Day sans the tomato sauce if you're more of an alfredo fan, or with a light olive oil-based sauce if you feel like whipping up something special in your kitchen. The only thing you have to be sure you're doing is using those long strings of pasta in your dish, because today isn't about penne or rigatoni... it's all about spaghetti.
Whether you'll be ordering in tonight or making your own dinner (or, if you're feeling extra ambitious, making your own pasta), take a moment to scroll through these thoughtful (and at times hilarious) spaghetti quotes. In fact, why not share a couple while you're at it? Social media needs more spaghetti in its feeds, especially on a day like this one.
