Spaghettieis (pronounced "spaghetti ice") is a German ice cream specialty that looks like a plate of spaghetti. It was invented by an Italian named Dario Fontanella in the late 1960's in Mannheim. In the dish, vanilla ice cream is pressed through a modified Spätzle maker 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 of Europe, it can be found more and more at ice cream and gelato shops, at special events and at hotels and restaurants in North and South America, Asia, Australia and around the world.
