Provided by Laura Franco

Categories     Appetizers

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 box of angel hair pasta - broken in half and cooked to al dente
1 small jar of prepared pasta sauce
1 20- ounce bag of frozen mini Italian meatballs (40 meatballs - thawed)
1 eggs - beaten
1/2 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
1 TBS dried Italian seasoning (optional)
Pinch of salt and pepper
Basil leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°
  • Spray a mini cupcake pan with non-stick spray.
  • Place cooked pasta in a medium-sized bowl to cool.
  • Add egg, cheeses, and seasonings to the pasta and stir until completely incorporated.
  • Using your fingers, press about 2-3 tablespoons of the pasta, egg and cheese mixture into each of the cupcake holes.
  • Using a shot glass, press the pasta down so there is an indent for the meatball.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes until they are firm and just starting to brown on the bottom.
  • While the pasta nests are baking, add the pasta sauce and meatballs to a stove-top pan and simmer until fully warmed.
  • Remove the pasta nests from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the nests and top each one with an individual meatball and a fancy toothpick.
  • Drizzle each meatball with a little more pasta sauce.
  • Serve warm or room temperature.

  • Mini-Spaghetti Nests And Italian Meatballs Appetizer. Bite-sized spaghetti and meatballs with all the robust flavor and none of the mess? Yes, please!
  • Mini-Meatball Spaghetti Pie Bites. If you’re not a big Alfredo fan, use this recipe for mini-meatball spaghetti bites instead. They’re practically the same as the spaghetti nests, only without the Alfredo.
  • Crispy Toasted Ravioli. Crispy toasted ravioli is another crunchy snack option that’s super simple to make. You flavor them with garlic, parmesan, Italian seasoning, and Panko breadcrumbs.
  • Spaghetti Fritters. Fritters made from spaghetti sounds ludicrous, right? Just wait until you try them. They’re crunchy, garlicky, and herb-flavored.
  • Cheese Tortellini in Garlic Butter Sauce. So far, we’ve had lots of fun and unique pasta ideas. However, if your pasta is light enough, you can serve it as an appetizer just as it is.
