SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS (CUPCAKES)

Spaghetti and Meatballs (Cupcakes) image

More of a how-to than an actual recipe as this begins with 10 of your favorite white cupcakes, either from a box or homemade. Fun to make, fun to serve, and no fancy equipment needed either. I used a #7 tip to pipe on the spaghetti but you can use a Ziploc and snip off a corner if the other isn't available. Zaar editor would not recognize the 11 hazelnut chocolates (Ferrero Rocher) needed for an all-important part of the presentation...the meatballs! Please keep that in mind.

Time 20m

Yield 1 platter, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

10 vanilla cupcakes, baked in white paper liners
1 (16 ounce) can vanilla frosting
1/2 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
3 drops yellow food coloring
3/4 cup low-sugar strawberry preserves (best for color)
2 tablespoons grated white chocolate, plus an additional chunk (to garnish)

Steps:

Use both the unsweetened cocoa powder and yellow food coloring to tint the icing. Spread a thin layer on top of each of the 10 cupcakes and arrange on a platter, four down the center and three on each side. Place so they are just touching each other. This will form the bed for your "pasta".
Put remaing icing in a pastry bag, press the air out then seal. Using a plain tip pipe the icing all over the cupcakes to look like spaghetti letting some fall over the sides of the cupcakes for an authentic look.
Place the hazelnuts and strawbery preserves in a bowl and toss to coat Spoon a bit of the preserves on top of each cupcake then place a hazelnut (meatball) on each and let that extra meatball fall on the side of the platter. Sprinkle with the grated white chocolate (parmesan). Place the chocolate chunk on a small plate along with a mini grater and bring to the table when you serve your spaghetti dessert.
Enjoy your spaghetti & meatballs!

Pasta Essentials: Pasta & Meatball Cupcakes image

Most spaghetti cups are made into actual cups, and then filled with something. These are not cups; they're fully packed with pasta, and a yummy alfredo sauce. Then we top them with pasta sauce, and let's not forget a meatball. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

PLAN/PURCHASE
4 ounce(s) pasta, i'm using fettuccine, cooked al dente
4 ounce(s) warmed alfredo sauce, recipe recommendation below
4 - 6 slice(s) provolone cheese rounds
4 ounce(s) warmed pasta sauce, recipe recommendation below
4 small cooked mini meatballs, recipe recommendation below
2 ounce(s) parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

PREP/PREPARE
Chef's Note: Later on, in this recipe, I'm going to give you some recommendations for the meatballs, plus the alfredo and pasta sauce. You could always buy frozen meatballs, and jars of sauce... but where's the fun in that?
Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 350f (175c).
Add the alfredo sauce to the cooked pasta, and toss to combine.
Use some oil, or cooking spray on the cupcake holders.
Fill each of the cups with the pasta, and press down.
Add the provolone to the top, and press down.
Place in the preheated oven, and bake until the cheese melts, and begins to bubble, about 20 - 25 minutes.
Chef's Note: Remove from oven, ladle some pasta sauce on a nice serving plate, and place the pasta cupcake on top of the sauce.
Add a meatball, and sprinkle with Parmesan.
PLATE/PRESENT
Serve while nice and hot... possibly with some crusty bread. Enjoy.
Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
