Brad and I got married while I was still in college and many of our weeknight dinners were something that could be made in a few minutes which meant that we ate a lot of spaghetti. Over the past few years our dinners have grown-up with us, but spaghetti is still a staple and will be bound to become a family tradition. One way that our spaghetti has grown up is with the inclusion of baked meatballs. Check out the recipe below.
