I love one-pan meals! I tried this recipe more than once. The spaghetti comes out really delicious after cooking in the meatball-infused tomato sauce, instead of being boiled in plain water. However, with this method the meatballs do not taste nearly as good, because the sauce is diluted significantly with the extra water required for the spaghetti. As convenient as this method is, I will have to return to cooking my meatballs in a pot so they can get the full flavor of the sauce.
