The Doubly Useful Spaghetti Spoon

Everyone who enjoys Italian cuisine appreciates a good plate of saucy spaghetti, especially if meatballs are featured. It is fascinating to watch Italian nanas cook authentic pasta, and you may have seen them using this special spaghetti spoon often.

While it is obvious to assume that the hole in the middle of the spoon is to allow the water to drain after the pasta is cooked, it has another important and lesser-known use. As shown in this picture, the spoon can measure the perfect amount of spaghetti per person, making it easy to ensure there will be no leftovers.
