when you have Nonna's recipe for marinara sauce ketchup isn't going to be bought for use in the home
What goes on hamburgers and hot dogs?
I mean, I've never had ketchup on pasta, but it still finds a use or two.
It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yes, hamburger's and hot dogs too. I didn't really eat them that much at home growing up, other than at maybe one or two cookouts a summer.

Either the writers don't know how wrong they are OR they think that the viewers won't believe it.

Do a lot of people put ketchup on pasta? Of any ethnicity? I've honestly never heard that (though I have heard of using it as an ingredient, as a shortcut to tomato paste/sugar/vinegar/salt--but never by itself).

I have seen older non-Italian Americans put everything from tomato soup to katchup on "spaghetti". It is gross!

I'm guessing the former, but I'd be surprised to learn that Lorraine Bracco hasn't tried to correct them.

I once knew an Australian woman who did. To be fair, she was... extremely odd. I should hate to generalize from her.

White-bread cheap spaghetti can be made by thickening up ketchup...I think my German grandma did it once or twice, but an Italian person? Is gagging somewhere cause I typed that, much less ate it. They take, ime, sauce(or gravy...don't think that wasn't confusing) very seriously. I'm reminded of the roomful of Harvard dropout writers they draw on the Simpsons sometimes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Even my non-Italian grandmother's story about the worst spaghetti ever (in the 50s!) doesn't involve ketchup. But I think it was just plain canned tomato sauce.
That said, there were some Italian in-laws in the family.

Well, mustard, pickles, and onions in the home I was brought up in. But we're English/Irish/Scottish/hillbilly, not Italian. (And my mom did make spaghetti with ketchup and bacon. I never much liked the stuff until I started eating in Italian restaurants.)
