I'm not really a fan of traditional spaghetti. I prefer angel hair pasta cooked barely al dente. I like marinara sauce, but not so much on spaghetti. If I use it, I try to keep it as simple as possible emphasizing the tomato taste instead of the herbal flavors of spices. I do like meatballs in marinara sauce and I like it in lasagna. I also like marinara as a dipping sauce, but even for that; I prefer garlic infused olive oil. My favorite Italian dish is eggplant parmigiano with marinara sauce, but I always order angel hair pasts with olive oil as a side dish.
I don't use much ketchup. I loved it as a kid. My mother used it like a sauce in everything. She would even put some on my spinach and I grew up thinking it was normal to eat ketchup on spinach.
