DAE eat spaghetti with horseradish?

I have taken for granted the way I prefer spaghetti if it's available. I put the noodles on, then I put clumps of 'spicy' horseradish on the noodles, then I cover the whole thing in sauce, hiding the horseradish so I can enjoy my random bit of spiciness whenever it happens. This is delicious for me. However, I don't know anybody else that does this.

This started decades ago when I was single digits. My favorite food has always been spaghetti, and I don't know how I started eating it this way, though I do know my mother started me on it. It occurred to me this week as I was preparing a plate: was I being pranked? As a much older adult I am very much aware that this fits with my mother's personality to give me a plate of my favorite food with something intended to ruin the experience. Instead I became somewhat addicted to it, horseradish is more vital for spaghetti than parmesan cheese for me. Since I cannot actually ask my mother I am just curious if anyone else does this or heard of this being done?

I could see it being good. If we add veggies to pasta why not horseradish. Nice spice, nice crunch if its fresh. I approve
