Lightly coat a muffin pan with non-stick spray, then take prepared pasta and drizzle a little more olive oil on it, and mix in parmesan cheese. Take several strands of pasta and form into a “nest”, then place in the muffin pan. Top each spaghetti nest with a spoonful of marinara mix, 1 meatball, another spoonful of marinara mix, then add a pinch of parmesan. Bake at 375°F degrees for 15 minutes.
