Method
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Place a pot of water on to boil for spaghetti. When it comes to a boil, salt the water and add pasta to cook to al dente.

- Form 1 1/2-inch balls and place on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Roast 15 minutes, turning halfway, if the meatballs are over browning on the bottoms.
- When the meatballs are close to done and the pasta is in, spray a large skillet with cooking spray and place over high heat.
