Spaghetti and Meatballs......... on a bun?

This is something I came up with one day after watching a show about Texas state fair foods. They were of course eating the meatball deep fried but it got me thinking how good a meatball wrapped around spaghetti would be if you served it on a bun. This takes some time but it's a fun alternative to your basic meatball sub.

I started by making my Meatball recipe once done I put it in a saran wrap lined shallow pan and pressed it flat. Important reserve about 1/4 of the meat mixture for later. Cut your meatball mixture into squares about the size of a wonton. A pizza cutter works great to do this. Place in Freezer to firm up a little before forming into a ball.

While your meatball mixture is firming up boil a small amount of spaghetti and drain thoroughly once done. Toss spaghetti with some freshly grated parmesan. Your meat mixture should be firm enough by the time your spaghetti is done.

Remove from Freezer and lift up one of your squares of meat. Place a small amount of spaghetti in the center of your squares and then fold up the edges like a pouch. Take a small amount of the reserved mixture and press down over the top and then roll in hands much like you would while making a normal meatball. Place on baking sheet and repeat til all balls have been formed. Cook like you normally would and once done let sit soaking in the sauce that's warming while your getting your rolls ready. Place your balls in your sub, top with cheese if you want and a little extra sauce. That's it your done.

Note: You can also chop up the cooked spaghetti and add into your meatball mixture before forming if pressed for time. If you have the time biting into a meatball with a cheesy spaghetti center it's not only fun but it tastes oh so good.
