Every year Stella asks for spaghetti for her birthday dinner. I try to be creative and make it different each time. This year we had spaghetti and meatballs on a stick and it was her favorite so far!

She still is the world’s messiest eater…but so darn cute I let it slide!

Spaghetti and Meatballs on a Stick

Makes 40 spaghetti and meatballs on a stick 

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef {I used ground sirloin 90/10}
  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1/4 cup panko seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 large yellow onion grated
  • 3 garlic cloves pressed
  • salt/cracked black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 box spaghetti
  • 2 tbsp butter melted
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 jar marinara sauce warmed

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, mix together ground beef and pork, eggs, panko, onion, garlic, and salt and pepper.
  • Stir until well combined.
  • Using a large scoop or your hands {my preferred method} roll large palm sized meatballs.
  • Place in rows on a lined baking sheet. You should have about 20.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes until cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Once boiling add spaghetti and cook for ten minutes.
  • Drain and then toss with melted butter and parmesan cheese. Set aside.
  • Once meatballs are done, remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly.
  • Using small 5 inch skewers, wrap 4-5 pieces of spaghetti around the bottom point of the skewer.
  • Add meatball under the pasta then dip the bottom of the meatball in marinara.
  • Place on a platter and repeat until all meatballs and pasta are skewered.
  • Serve and enjoy!

    I would never have thought that you could wind pasta up like this and serve it like an appetizer – super creative! This is really fun new way to serve the classic spaghetti and meatballs at a party.

    Spaghetti and meatballs on a stick, what a brilliant idea! I can’t get my kids to eat their meatballs, I guess I should try to change the way I present them,… on a stick 😉

🍽 Yesterday we enjoyed lunch at NCAL+H2O, an upscale seafood gem of a restaurant in downtown Rolla. It was a delicious meal and everything this Florida girl has been craving! 
🐟 We started with an order of amazing Tuna Poke Nachos then shared a Grilled Shrimp Club sandwich with fries and a tasty salad with house garlic parm dressing. We couldn't stop there so we also split a bowl of cioppino, which was chock full of fresh seafood. Next time I want to try their Parmesan Halibut or Seafood Pasta! 
❤ If you are looking for a nice restaurant to celebrate an anniversary or have a quiet date night (or day date like us) check out @saltwaterrollamo ! 
⭐ Lunch was courtesy of @rolladowntown.  I was a winner of $100 in downtown dollars in their Tis the Season of Giving contest!

🥡 We tried @doordash for the first time during our stay in Branson tonight. It really saved us time and energy running around town and delivery was free! We ordered ramen, bi bim bap, and lo mein from a local Asian restaurant called Noodle 21. It was delish! Check them out if you are in the area and send me a message if you want a referral for $5 off to try #doordash ! @noodle21branson #eatlocal #branson #takeoutfood #whatsfordinner

It is pizza night and it’s @caseys to the rescue! After a busy week this tired Mama needed an easy dinner. Luckily Casey’s has tasty pizza to go and I ordered right on the app. Our fresh made Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza was ready for store pickup in no time. Check out Casey’s new free curbside, available at most stores, and enjoy an easy and delicious Casey’s pizza night too! #sponsored #CaseysCurbside

Road trip time and #CaseysCurbside saved the day! We stopped at @caseys and stocked up on some supplies, including my favorite pretzels and juice from their new line of Casey’s favorites, before we were on our way. I love that I can order right on Caseys.com or via their app and pickup using their free and easy curbside. #sponsored

We drove out to Marshfield today and made a few Route 66 stops including the Missouri Welcome Center in Conway with it's Route 66 themed picnic area and downtown Marshfield with the murals and Hubble telescope replica. Love all the cool places to see in Missouri! 🚗 #route66 #Missouri #marshfield #exploremore #travelgram #roadtrip
