It's no secret that in Italy, pasta is a pretty big deal - and we can totally understand why, it's delicious.
One woman recently wanted to prove how seriously her Italian mum takes her cooking, so decided to play a little pasta prank on her.
Rosaria, the CEO of @growingupitalian, decided to add Heinz tomato ketchup to her pasta to see how her mum would react.
She filmed herself doing just that and her mother's response did not disappoint.
In the clip, which has since gone viral, Rosaria asks her mum if she'd made her some pasta with no sauce.
Her mother initially seems baffled by the request, asking her daughter if she's feeling unwell and wants some pastina instead.
Rosaria tells her she's not feeling so good and that she would just like "regular pasta". Her mum reluctantly agrees to cook some.
A little while later she places a bowl of pasta down in front of her daughter.
The young woman proceeds to grab a bottle of ketchup and squirt the sauce all over the food, much to her mother's horror.
The older woman asks: "Rosaria what are you doing?"
"I heard it was really good," she replies as her mother shrieks: "That's disgusting!"
The parent continues to shout: "What are you doing?! Rosaria that's disgusting, take that out of your mouth."
As Rosaria lifts a fork to her mouth, her mum furiously tells her: "Don't you dare, what the f**k are you doing?!"
Unable to keep a straight face, Rosaria confesses that the whole thing was just a prank and that she was recording it for TikTok.
She admits she wasn't even able to eat a mouthful of the ketchup pasta.
The video has since been watched over three million times and garnered over 564,000 likes.
Thousands commented to share their thoughts, with one saying: "This is so dramatic."
Another wrote: "As an Italian, I 100% agree with the reaction of the mother."
A third replied: "I would have been disappointed if that wasn't her reaction."
"The way she was about to throw hands with you for trying to eat it," added someone else.
