On top of spaghetti …. you know the rest, right?

Spaghetti is one of those things I can see a picture of and instantly crave it. I apologize to my carb watchers, but the other night I needed a big bowl of carbs and some red wine.

Maybe it had to do with seeing a picture of Lady and the Tramp… you know that one, where they have the spaghetti?

So, on top of my spaghetti I have a big ol’ meatball. And, I’m going to give you my big ol’ meatball recipe.

How come big ol’ meatball sounds tasty but tuna balls don’t?

Instructions

In a bowl, combine beef and seasonings.
Form into golf ball sized balls.
