"Polpette Stellari" ("Stellar Meatballs") by Erika Catellani. 

“Stellar Meatballs” is the story of Lexy's two greatest passions.

Lexy's two favorite things are spaghetti and meatballs and the universe, specifically planets, stars, and shiny galaxies.

For dinner Lexy asks to mum to eat on the terrace watching the sunset in the company of Cosmo, her little dog.

Staring at the fork in his hand, on which she has speared a meatball and a ball of spaghetti, she realizes that it looks very much like a planet surrounded by its tangled rings, LIKE SATURN!
