Spaghetti and Meatball Muffins
These Spaghetti and Meatball Muffins will blow your mind! Fun, delicious and perfect for kids and adults alike. I start by making the juicy meatballs filled with lightly dried basil, parsley and roasted garlic. I give them a light sauté to bring out the flavors even more before popping them into the spaghetti nests with just a touch of marinara sauce. You can also make the meatballs with ground beef or even vegetarian meat substitute.
