In [[computer science]], '''spaghetti with meatballs''' is a [[pejorative]] term used to describe a loosely constructed [[Object-oriented programming|Object-oriented]] system. Much like traditional [[spaghetti code]], the term ''spaghetti with meatballs'' is a description of poor coding, usually by a junior-level software engineer, and typically by one whose previous programming experience is exclusively with [[procedural programming]]. Alternatively, it may be the result of a system whose development has transitioned over a long life-cycle.

In this usage, ''spaghetti'' describes twisted, tangled and unstructured code, while ''meatballs'' describes the use of [[Object (computer science)|objects]], thrown in for good measure.
