I made this Spaghetti and meatballs in tomato sauce recipe a bit by chance. I had bought ground beef to make lasagna and stuffing for stuffed tomatoes and as I had a little of each left, I decided to make this dish and it was a real nice surprise, with pasta a little like Lady and the Tramp! Children like us 2, we are delighted!
You will see that this sauce is very easy to make and it flavors the kitchen which seriously gives the mouth water, the result is super pleasant for the nose, the eyes and the mouth but it is also very funny to reproduce the famous scene Lady and the Tramp… 😉
I think I’m even going to do it again this weekend so much we loved this recipe!
