Spaghetti & Meatballs on a Stick

I think most people under the age of 10, my daughter included, would list Spaghetti & Meatballs as one of their favorite foods. I would definitely agree! But I wanted to change it up a bit, so I made Spaghetti & Meatballs on a Stick for fun!

This is a new take on spaghetti & meatballs. It would be as if you threw all the ingredients up in the air and watched where they landed. This time, it lands on a stick!

Instead of the sauce on the spaghetti, I made spaghetti with butter and parmesan cheese.   I used 3 tablespoons of butter and 1/2 cup of already shredded parmesan cheese.  I added a little black pepper for taste.

This is actually one of my favorite ways to eat spaghetti.  I like to make this as a side dish to other meals like roast chicken, fish or even hamburgers.  I also like to use egg noodles with butter and parmesan cheese.

I also made the meatballs separate from the spaghetti or sauce. I used frozen meatballs in the oven.

But if you want to make homemade meatballs, this is a great Meatballs & Homemade Tomato Sauce recipe — it’s my moms:)

Putting together all of these pieces is the fun part! I first stuck the popsicle stick into the meatball. Then I took a few pieces of spaghetti and wrapped it around the top of the meatball. Dip the meatball in sauce and sprinkle with parsley and a little salt and you are ready to dig in!

I love that this makes a great meal or appetizer.  It’s designed so you can get this taste all in one bite – so you truly are getting the perfect amount of spaghetti and meatballs each time you eat it!

Your kids will also enjoy putting this recipe together — not to mention eating it!

Enjoy!
