Spaghetti with Tiny Meatballs

This recipe is from my latest cookbook, The Art of Italian Cooking, and is a wonderful meal the entire family will love. The tiny meatballs (or pallottine in Italian) are not only adorable, they also are the perfect size to swirl onto your fork with al dente spaghetti. I also like to make this with homemade Tonnarelli, but using a high quality store-bought spaghetti will save you some time. Get your copy of my NY Times best-selling cookbook here for 100+ recipes that are great for entertaining!
