So, here's the thing.

Spaghetti is a type of noodle.

You will notice that any time you order at a restaurant, or buy a frozen meal, or the like, it will be labeled as something like: "Spaghetti and Meatballs" or "Spaghetti with Meat Sauce"

Spaghetti is just the noodle. If she said she was making "spaghetti" and not "spaghetti and/with X" then she didn't lie or deceive you. You made the assumption that there was going to be sauce or meat, but she never said there would be.

That probably has to do more with legal requirements for proper labeling in food. No regular person says we're having spaghetti for dinner and means just spaghetti. Sure you can say with meatballs, but no one actually says spaghetti and sauce. Spaghetti is a normally common term to mean spaghetti and sauce.

I mean when you have pancakes do you mean just pancakes or do you just know it means with syrup to? Same as cereal. If someone asks you if you want cereal do they put just the cereal on the table or the cereal with the milk?
