Notes
- As I said in the introduction, Spaghetti with meatballs is not a widespread/classic Italian dish. In fact, I have never seen it in Italy. Mash the meatballs and make short pasta, which is much easier to eat with mince.
- Notice that the only reason why you see full meatballs in the picture is because I wanted to show there are actually meatballs in the dish! It’s just for aesthetic purposes and I did mash them before eating.
