Spaghetto

My first class consisted of twenty-six dancers; at least a third of these appeared to be tiny Asian women, each with a waist the approximate width of a spaghetto.

With his thumb and forefinger he lifted one spaghetto at a time and dunked it into the bowl of sauce before eating it.

Not once was I allowed to help make dinner, slice a tomato, boil a spaghetto (one piece of spaghetti), or wash a dish.

A typical spaghetto is linear. If each strand is covered in a sauce with lots of olive oil, it can slide over others. If you then tried to pick up the spaghetti with your fingers, you would only get the few strands you actually held and the rest would slip back onto the plate.
