Spaghetti Neapolitan (ナポリタンスパゲティ) is a Western-style Japanese pasta dish. The spaghetti is first boiled, then pan-fried with ham or sausage, onions, and bell peppers, and seasoned with tomato ketchup. While it was influenced by European pasta dishes, it was created in Japan as an original recipe and is not a traditional Japanese dish. Despite its similar name, it is different from the Italian Spaghetti alla Napoletana.
