Since now my husband already living in Shanghai and i live only with my daughter i did not cook a lot lately because we always have leftover on the fridge. My sister came up with the cooking idea after i mentioned that i had too much meatballs leftover and we ended up cooking together with the same recipe only different ingredients, kitchen, time and continents:-))
About 350g Spaghetti, cooked al dente
12 prepared Fanny's oven baked meatballs
3 tbs olive oil
1 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 cup or more shredded cheese
2 cups of marinara sauce (homemade or store bought)
Parsley, chopped (optional)
Muffin tin
- Prepared muffin tin, grease evenly the muffin tin with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Preheat oven to 190 °C.
- In a large bowl mix the cooked spaghetti, parmesan and 2 tablespoon olive oil until well combined.
- Arrange noodles in each greased 12 cups to create nests for the meatballs.
- Top each nests with 1 heaped tablespoon of marinara sauce, 1 meatball, 1 more tablespoon or less marinara sauce and sprinkle the tops with shredded cheese as desired. Bake for about 20 minutes or until the cheese melted and slightly brown. Let them set and cool slightly before take them out of the muffin tin. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving (optional).
