You might think a basic pasta dish is straightforward enough - spaghetti, sauce, meatballs, cheese, sorted. However, one woman has baffled the internet after sharing a bizarre hack for serving this very meal. Watch it here:
It shows a woman being filmed in her kitchen as she pours out pasta sauce onto her marble counter top.

She tells the person filming that all her friends are coming over, saying that it's a fun way to eat meatballs.
Next up are meatballs and parmesan, all just poured on to the counter, before she grabs a pan of steaming hot pasta and sprinkles it over.
Asked by the person filming if she's done it before, the woman says that she does it 'all the time'. Good god.
She then gets another pan of spaghetti and piles it on, with the cameraperson sounding enthusiastic about witnessing the act of violence against food.
After all the ingredients are tipped out of their packaging and the pasta removed from the pan, she goes ahead and mixes it up.

At this stage you may imagine her to be considering whether it was worth the likes, as nightmarish visions of cleaning her worktop set in.
The video was also shared on other platforms, including on Twitter by YouTuber @jarvis, who captioned it: "What a normal and ultimate spaghetti hack!"
The internet reacted in the only appropriate manner - largely horror and disgust.
One social media user commented: "If I walk into someone's house, and they serve me counter top spaghetti, I'm gonna have to put them on a 30-day ban."

Another says: "If you don't realise that this is an obvious spoof on those dumb TikToks of people making nachos on their table then you live under a rock."
A third person was fairly unforgiving, saying: "I hope that whoever invented this trend is suffering."
While this guy was just extremely displeased with the woman in the video, as he replied: "She only puts these out for likes. She gives nothing to the culinary world or the people that want to learn to cook."
This woman isn't the first person to have tried making food on a countertop, however - another family had a go at the table top food trend, although thankfully they used aluminium foil.

The family, from Spring Lake, Michigan, created 'table nachos' last year. The premise is simple - get some tortilla chips, guacamole, salsa, cheese (basically anything you want to use as toppings), and spread them all over a carefully prepared table.
Somehow, it feels slightly more acceptable than table meatballs.
