These meatballs and spaghetti get them full and keep them happy.
This is one of the first recipes I ever made when I first got married…and 17 years later, I’m still preparing these meatballs. It’s different than the typical tomato-based spaghetti sauce and my kids love it and never get tired of it…even my super picky ones. Bonus: it freezes really well.
