Spaghetti filled Meatballs

While I love classic spaghetti and meatballs just as much as the next guy, I find it a very messy and difficult food to eat on the run. I have tried many different ways to eat pasta while driving/biking/flying a kite (including feed bags), but nothing has ever worked. Until now. We here at Late Night Chefs have finally found a solution - spaghetti filled meatballs. All the flavors and textures of spaghetti and meatballs, with the shape and portability of a hand fruit. No more dangerously slippery tomato sauce on the steering wheel. No more showing up to work looking like the inside of a pumpkin. Here is how to make spaghetti filled meatballs:




1. Make spaghetti. We used a standard sauce and added some of our own herbs and spices.





2.
Make your meatball mixture. You
can use any recipe you want, but we used a ground beef/sausage mixture and added eggs, breadcrumbs and spices to taste.







3. Stuff spaghetti into meat mixture. This step can be a little tricky to do without leaving any holes in the meatball.






We made a bowl-like shape, filled it with spaghetti and carefully worked the meat into a sphere encasing the noodles, adding extra meat when necessary.





4. Bake at 375F for about 15 minutes or until the meat is cooked through.




I suggest you make at least a dozen of these at a time, and replace those apples in your fruit basket with something of substance.


You should have went with spaghetti filled meatballs, dummy
