Spaghetti and Meatball Muffin Bites

by Katrina - The Organised Housewife

I came across this video to make Spaghetti and Meatball Muffin Bites, I was intrigued and had to watch, these look amazing.  I haven’t made them yet, but can’t wait as I think they would make a great after school snack for the kids, or coupled with some salad or garlic bread a delicious light meal.  Don’t they look super cool! Check out the video below.

Reading through some of the comments on the site some mention their spaghetti didn’t stick together, I would say this may depend how long you cook it.  However, there are suggestions to add a beaten egg to the spaghetti to help hold it a nest.
