Spaghetti & Meatballs

Boiardi's restaurant, Il Giardino d'Italia, became quite popular and patrons began requesting portions to take home. He packaged up uncooked pasta, cheese, and his popular sauce, poured into milk bottles. Demand grew and he eventually built a small processing plant. He marketed the pasta as Chef Boy-ar-dee, spelled phonetically for Americans. Ten years later, his pasta was enjoyed nationwide.
