Spaghetti & Meatballs in Tomato Sauce

This dish has another name. My children call it ‘Lupin III Spaghetti’. If you have just said ‘YES!’, you know Hayao Miyazaki, a legendary Japanese animation director and a co-founder of Studio Ghibli. He is famous for loads of animated films. You may know ‘Spirited Away’, one of his award-winning works. In the film called ‘The Castle of Cagliostro’, there is a scene the main character Arsène Lupin III enjoys this spaghetti with his friend Jigen, and that scene is quite well known. That’s why they call it ‘Lupin III Spaghetti’.
