Spaghettieis

Spaghettieis in Baden-Baden

Spaghettieis (German pronunciation: [ʃpaˈɡɛtiˌaɪs]) is a German ice cream specialty that looks like a plate of spaghetti. It was invented by Dario Fontanella in the late 1960s in Mannheim, Germany. In the dish, an often light or white colored ice cream is pressed through a modified Spätzle press or potato ricer to make it look like spaghetti. It is then placed over whipped cream and topped with strawberry sauce (to simulate tomato sauce) and either coconut flakes, grated almonds, or white chocolate shavings to represent the parmesan cheese. Although, as of yet, it is not well known to most people outside Europe, it can be found at some Gelaterias and specialty ice cream shops, at special events and at some hotels and restaurants around the world.
