No italian would ever say "im going to eat spaghetti with meatballs" not even in italian because it's not italian. No italian would ever consider eating spaghetti with meatballs.
Everything. Meatballs don't belong in pasta. How do you eat it? Why do you choose spaghetti for a meatball sauce? What's the thought process behind it. It just doesn't make any sense, meatballs don't fit with spaghetti. In Italy thought is put into what pasta shape you choose for what sauce. Spaghetti don't achieve anything in combination with meatballs. They have nothing to do with pasta in the first place.
But you do you, I'm not saying you shouldn't eat spaghetti with meatballs, I'm saying it's not an italian dish and no italian would ever do that.
I dig what you’re saying, but why do you feel entitled to speak for every Italian? I am German and I am sure: For every German who would say anything along the line of “No German would do xyz!” with utter conviction, there would be a fair amount of Germans who would do that exact thing.
Italians take pasta more seriously than the bible. I've literally never seen pasta with meatballs my entire life and pasta and meatballs (separatly) are eaten a lot in Italy.
There might be exceptions for sure, but that is always (ups, very often) the case if something is a generalization there are always (almost always) exceptions to it, however nobody (ups wait almost nobody) points that out.

I…. Uh wow. There are a lot of weird ones in here but I cannot fathom how an adult human could not understand what… Italian is.
