If you want to spice up the old standard spaghetti and meatballs, try this recipe to make them not only more fun, but great as an appetizer at a party! My kids think they're delicious (I use turkey meatballs from the 21 Day Fix cookbook), and I couldn't agree more!
To make spaghetti cups (noodle baskets):
Cook whole wheat Spaghetti noodles and set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix in a bowl:
-4 egg whites
-1 blue Parmesan cheese (you will need 2 total)
-4 yellows cooked pasta
-1/2 purple Marinara/Spaghetti Sauce (you will need 2 total overall)
Spray a muffin tin with non-stick spray. Equally distribute noodle mix into all 12 cups. Once it's equally divided, mold it to fit each cup, making a hollow cavity in the center where the meatball will go. Cook these "noodle baskets" for 6-7 minutes.
Remove from oven. Carefully, don't burn, take your remaining 1/2 purples of sauce. Place a spoonful or two in each hole. Top with one meatball. Add the rest of the sauce on the tops. Sprinkle with 1 remaining blue container of Parmesan. Bake 5 more minutes.
Remove from oven, let cool and set 1-2 minutes. Use a plastic spoon, fork, or rubber spatula to remove from tins. Each person may have 3 muffins as a serving! Serve with steamed broccoli and cauliflower or garlic cauliflower mashed potatoes (2 greens for you!)
