This spaghetti and meatball recipe is one of our family favorites. Kids typically devour it and ask for seconds! Enjoy this simple and tasty recipe. It’s not authentic but still tastes great!
I experimented with many brands of pasta sauce, and hands down the Ragu Parmesan and Romano Sauce is our favorite sauce when serving with meatballs.
Serve with New York Garlic Toast! It’s our favorite.
TIP: Make sure beef is cold or the mixture gets too sticky when mixing together
