Special Spaghetti

I am a big fan of spaghetti.  It's easy and it just hits the spot for me.

K, on the other hand, likes something a little more special than your standard spaghetti.

Sometimes I'll use sweet italian sausage (the links cut up, not ground) and bowtie pasta.  Yum! 

Last night I got the hankering for spaghetti and decided to make my own meatballs instead of settling with the basic meat & sauce.

I combined ground turkey with italian style breadcrumbs and some garlic and olive oil.  I formed about 20 meatballs and baked at 350' for 20 minutes.



Please excuse my grimy pan...

Add tossed salad and warm bread and you have a special spaghetti dinner.

For some reason meatballs are just fun!  Maybe it's because they feel more like something you would order out.  I don't know. But it was delicious!

Do you have any spaghetti variations that make it more special?
