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.

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.
