Spaghetti & Meatballs
📖 Recipe
Spaghetti and Meatballs
Tips for success: I find when making meatballs, that squeezing them while molding the meatball helps bind it better before I roll it. Just like the well-timed execution of the chicken tomato basil pasta. Same rules apply here. This dish can come together as everything is finishing.
