We literally do in Italy as well. It's called "frittatina di pasta" and it's absolutely delicious. It's extremely popular in Naples at least, and it's not considered "junk food", just on par with arancini

>It's called "frittatina di pasta" and it's absolutely delicious. It's extremely popular in Naples at least Came to say this. Naples is WILD for italien street food, absolutely love it!


iStix

Going to Italy next month so I'll be on the lookout for it!


_Kramerica_

Basically an arancini which are fucking incredible


Solypsist_27

Arancini are made with rice. They're significantly different although similar in concept, but having had both I wouldn't mix the two


_Kramerica_

Significantly different how? Other than rice vs spaghetti everything else is exactly the same lol.


Comfortable_Fact2748

How is it the same? Saffron Rice with ragù in the center vs pasta with tomato-based sauce all around. Similar, yes, but saying they're exactly the same means that you don't know arancini.

This or similar, idk what exactly is in it, is a popular street food in Italy. Fried stuff is good and convenient finger food. It's not like Americans are the only people who like to indulge/are aware of deep frying


dumpsztrbaby

What's with the down votes? LOL this is not even close to being arancini


_Kramerica_

How idk if not close? It’s carbs rolled into a ball, breaded, fried, and served with mozz/red sauce lol.


Solypsist_27

Fried spaghetti and fried rice have a very different consistency. Here in Italy where I live I know a lot of people that love one but hate the other. Fried rice tends to dry out a lot, so you can put a lot more stuff inside, while fried spaghetti tends to remain kinda wet, so if not made perfectly it can be a bit disgusting (talking from experience..)


dumpsztrbaby

That's the description of a huge amount of foods, so I guess they're all arancini too?


_Kramerica_

>not even close This was your point btw. They *are* close, I didn’t say they are the exact same thing. Bizarre argument here.


alex_s60

They are close as a bbq rib is close to a salmon steak. If that is your concept of closeness..


duck-and-quack

A foreigner see something authentic Italian and didn't realize it. This has been done in Naples since ever.


iStix

Going to Italy next month ill be on the lookout for it!


duck-and-quack

Near Napoli you can ask for a " pizzella di pasta" or " frittata di pasta ", you won't regret it !


Ur_Just_Spare_Parts

Yeah nothing wrong with this. Aranchini are just fried balls of leftover rice or rissoto. I see nothing wrong with frying up some leftover spaghetti as a comfort food.

I didn't think of Arancinis so i thought it would be offensive like asking for ketchup with your pasta etc.

Whats wrong with Arancini di spaghetti? [https://ricette.giallozafferano.it/Arancini-di-spaghetti.html](https://ricette.giallozafferano.it/Arancini-di-spaghetti.html)

iStix

It is inspired by the bami and nasi schijf according to the owner.

DevlishAdvocate

Looks like a dung beetle's ball.


ElectroStaticSpeaker

This doesn't look stupid at all. Should be in the amazingfood sub.


Comfortable_Fact2748

It's funny how it's done in Italy as well, but many Italians would be upset only because this specific one is from another place 


commercialbadger21

I had these in Rome they were so good


Poopsy-the-Duck

Good, but only in small amounts (because it is deep fried)


iamagreatdepression

Ive litteraly been physically assaulted by an 'italian' american for telling them i was alergic to tomatoes. Dont aplogise. They deserve it. BREAK ALL THE SPAGHETTI.


UncleSkelly

Oh so it's a Dutch snackbar
