8 ounces spaghetti noodles
1.5 T olive oil
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 cup grated Mozzarella cheese
2 cups of your favorite tomato-based spaghetti sauce (Recipe HERE if you need one)
12 Meatballs (cooked) Homemade recipe HERE if you need one

Bake meatballs according to package directions and set aside (keep warm).
Keep oven preheated to 375 degrees. Grease or spray a 12-cup regular size muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
While meatballs are baking, cook spaghetti noodles according to package directions. Drain and toss in a bowl with olive oil; Allow to cool for about 5-10 minutes. *You want the noodles to be cool enough for you to touch without getting burned.
Toss the cooled spaghetti noodles with 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, 3 tablespoons of spaghetti sauce and egg.
Evenly divide spaghetti between the 12 muffin cups, pressing noodles in each cup to create a small indention in the middle. (The indentions will be “nests” for the meatballs)
Bake for 15 minutes and remove from oven. Top each “nest” with 1 tablespoon warm spaghetti sauce, add a meatball, and top with 1 more tablespoon spaghetti sauce.
Carefully take each spaghetti and meatball muffin out of its cup and serve.
