Amazing Spaghetti & Meatball Recipe

Those who are new to this recipe let me first explain the basic facts about meatball and spaghetti. Meatballs are made up of ground meat properly minced and then filled with other ingredients such as chopped onions, garlic, herbs, spices, pepper. It is one of the favorite dishes in Sweden cuisine and across Middle East countries. However every part of world has its own way for making the meatballs. Beef, pork and even lamb can be used for making meatballs.

For making meatballs in Greek cuisine ground meat is mixed in finely diced onion and mints. French used to mix shredded cheese with the meat. Chinese prefer to eat them in larger size with pastas and noodles.  

The origin of the meatball was from ancient time when farmers working out in lands started mixing any type of meat with nuts, fruits in order to give it a better taste. Also in those times no freezing system was available so they used to preserve the meat with spices, herbs .This way these balls of meat could last for longer time. It was considered a leftover dish made from cooked meat that is shredded by hands and then mixed with spices.

Spaghetti is an Italian pasta with a cylindrical shape and thinner in size. It is made up of semolina and water. This is a main ingredient in the pasta menu and is often served with tomato sauce.
