That's a Spicy Meatball Parmesan over Spaghetti image

Classic tender meatballs are full of flavor these having lamb and herbs in them. Not much lamb because a little goes a long way. These are baked for ease and less fat. If you are using jar sauce you can kick it up by first sauteing some chopped onions, garlic, and pimento add additional herbs and stir in the sauce to complement the meatballs. Try meatball Parmesan subs in place of the spaghetti. This is a RSC recipe so lamb, rosemary, pimiento, mozzarella, and green onions were the 5 ingredients that had to be used. You can use 2 pounds of any ground meat of your choice. This is a great way to cook meatballs keeping it low in fat, and easy clean up.
