This spaghetti recipe turns a plate of pasta into a delicious bite-sized snack. From Amy Erickson at Oh, Bite It!, the spaghetti and meatball poppers involve putting cooked noodles, Italian style meatballs, marinara sauce, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning and an egg into a mini muffin tin. The bites are ideal as an appetizer this holiday season as well.
The spaghetti recipe basically involves making spaghetti and then cooking them into a nest-like popper form. This gives the noodles a crispy texture and less mess than one would typically associate with this sort of pasta dish. The unique treats can be consumed as either a little snack, or if you eat multiple (the recipe makes 24), a very large meal.
