Here's a fun twist on spaghetti and meatballs: spaghetti IN meatballs! Fun to make, easy to take. Give it a try!

Ingredients:

1 oz. angel hair pasta
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup milk
1 egg
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 lb. lean ground beef
1/4 lb. Italian sausage
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp. salt
cheese of your choice, shredded or cut into mini cubes
1 cup pasta sauce

Equipment:

plastic fork

Directions:

Boil pot of salted water and cook pasta to al dente.

Drain then submerge in a large bowl of ice water for a few minutes. Drain thoroughly.

Take a plastic fork and bend back two of the tines. If you have a cocktail fork or chopsticks, those will do! Start twirling the pasta into mini mounds, each a bit larger than the size of a quarter. Keep going until you have about 9 pasta balls on a plate. Freeze uncovered for 20 minutes.

In a bowl, mix together the bread crumbs and milk until moistened.

In another bowl, beat the egg and mix in the minced garlic.

In a large bowl, crumble the ground beef and Italian sausage. Add the Italian seasoning and salt. Pour in the egg mixture, the bread crumb mixture and mix it all together.
