The spaghetti and simple macaroni shapes are the same as you will find
in the USA, but the sauce will not be Italian-style -- it's usually
cream or butter. It is served as a side dish, not as a main course.

I have never seen the more elaborate pasta shapes in the grocery
stores I frequent. Sam's carries Prego sauce, but I have never seen
anyone use it (except me).
