Italian food is everywhere. You can go pretty much anywhere in this country and find an Italian restaurant somewhere near by. If not, stop by at the nearest diner and they probably have at least spaghetti on the menu.
Granted, a lot of the Italian food we eat probably isn’t anywhere close to being authentic, but that’s part of the magnificence of it. Italian influence can be found in the majority of American foods.
Throw pretty much whatever you want in with some pasta, garlic and olive oil and chances are it’ll turn out pretty tasty. Believe me, I use at least one of those ingredients in almost everything I cook and I haven’t had any complaints yet. At least, not to my face.
