Ingredients:

1 pound of Angel Hair pasta (cooked and drained.)
2 cups of your favorite pasta sauce.
1/2 cup of your favorite grated cheese. (Parmigiana/Romano)
12  1/2" cubes of mozzarella cheese
12   1" sized meatballs (cooked)

Olive oil to lightly coat cupcake pan.

Preheat Oven to 400 degrees.

Cook pasta according to directions. Strain and rinse with cold water. Drain completely of excess water. In a Large bowl combine Pasta, Sauce and Romano cheese and mix well. Lightly spray or coat inside of each cupcake pan with oil. Using a Tablespoon size spoon and fork, start twirling pasta around fork using the inside of the spoon to form a large round ball of pasta. Carefully place into a cupcake opening. Try and fill slightly above the rim of the cupcake pan and to keep the remaining balls of pasta the same size and shape. Once you have filled your pan, carefully push a cube of mozzarella into the top center of the spaghetti making sure it's level with the pasta. Now top each one with a meatball pushing down lightly forming a nest so the meatball won't fall off. Bake for 20 minutes. Wait a few minutes for the Spaghetti to cool down and serve warm with lot's of smiles. Enjoy.
