Start Cooking
Prepare the Meatballs
-
Combine ground meat with eggs, garlic, bread, and seasonings. Mix well.
-
Heat oil for deep-frying in a small saucepan. Use wet hands to form meat mixture into balls.
-
Gently place in hot oil and fry 2–3 minutes, until golden. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Prepare the Nests
-
In a medium bowl, combine tomato, tomato sauce, garlic, sugar, and seasonings. Remove ¼ cup of mixture and set aside. Mix remaining sauce with spaghetti.
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease 12 muffin cups and arrange the spaghetti around the walls of each muffin cup to form a nest.
-
Place a meatball in the center of each muffin cup. Pour on a bit of the reserved tomato mixture. Bake for 20 minutes.
Note:
Don’t remove the nests from the muffin tin until they’re completely cool.

Do you recommend eating these hot (reheated) or at room temp?Replies:
I think they would be good either way. They are probably better hot and straight from the oven. If you are serving them as a buffet I am sure they are still good at room temperature. -
