Like its cousin macaroni, spaghetti is made from semolina and water. Sometimes eggs are added. The name comes from the italian word for strings.
spaghettini

strudel
Food (other); Grains
This German word for whirlpool refers to a pastry made of layers of thin dough spread with a filling, then rolled up and baked. The extremely thin pastry resembles Phyllo.
triticale flour

vermicelli

Italian for little worms. Vermicelli is a very thin spaghetti-shaped pasta.
