Classic Spaghetti & Meatballs
Make this into a kids friendly recipe as you get the kids to help you roll out the meatballs. This recipe has a little twist in which I add some sausage meat to make it even more flavourful. I lay tomato sauce on some beautifully cooked spaghetti and then top with the meatballs. Just perfect!
