fuck no, Italy raided the tomato market because it was cheap poor food. and it became so ubiquitous that it permeated almost every level of society. Any high class tomato based pasta that exists is just a spin on peasant food, or in the worst case scenario, shitty knock offs of peasant food that you got suckered into payin 20 bucks a plate for.

What's wrong with peasant food?

I didn't think people who were prejudiced against it actually existed anymore

This. Peasant food is the best food.

poor people aspiring to a better life get mad when they finally save up enough to go to a restaurant that isn't mcdonalds and find a piece of pork belly in lentils or whatever.

they think they're being mocked and that society itself is an elaborate joke at their own expense. and in a certain sense, they're right. but their food is sometimes good so who cares.

If you make the sauce and the pasta and grind your own meat or some shit, I'd say that's pretty high class. The ingredients don't cost a lot, but that's such a shitty way of choosing what to eat.

as with bolognese, one thing to do to make it more "patrician" would be using tagliatelle or fetuccine. Also more suitable would be using fusilli ("Fusilli con Polpettine").
Spagetti are not unheard of in the south, but tagliatelle or fusilli are nicer. Making a soffrito for the tomato sauce will also make it nicer and more "patrician".

Meat balls with peas and pepperoni is also an alternative.

An vegetarian alternative btw, is not only tofu balls or falafel, but also polpette de melanzane, common in liguria and made of eggplant! (pic related)
