What’s for dinner? Spaghetti and Mini Meatballs. I know you love meatballs with spaghetti I’ve been in in your kitchen several times and I’ve seen you preparing it so don’t deny it. Ok, that’s me being all weird but jokes aside, don’t we all have this dish at least twice a week? Or it’s just me!
Making Spaghetti and Mini Meatballs
I have tried few creative ways to make my spaghetti recipe delicious and looks good, so I tried filling the meatballs with cheese, adding breadcrumbs in the meatball mixture, giving the sauce and Indian touch, sometimes a Mexican flavor.
Spaghetti and Mini Meatballs is a dish that you won’t get tired of unless maybe if you have it every day. On google if you typed spaghetti and meatballs recipe you’ll get more than 30,000 results. Who sat and came up with all these recipes? who?
In this recipe, I tried to bring out the flavor of fresh beef by not adding many spices to the meatballs and the sauce. You can use turkey if you wish or chicken, follow the same steps just keep the cooking time shorter.
Spaghetti and Mini Meatballs recipe is so easy to put together as you can see from the method. I hope you enjoy it and don’t forget to share it!
