Instructions
- 1 Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 7 minutes. Drain and toss in a bowl with olive oil, then refrigerate until cool, about 15 minutes.
- 2 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
- 3 Toss cooled spaghetti with 1 cup Parmesan cheese. Divide spaghetti between the prepared muffin cups, arranging noodles in each cup to create "nests" for the meatballs.
- 4 Top each nest with 1 tablespoon pasta sauce, 1 meatball, and 1 more tablespoon pasta sauce, respectively. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan cheese over the tops of each nest.
- 5 Bake in the preheated oven until pasta and meatballs are heated through and cheese melts, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool slightly before transferring muffin bites to a serving platter.
