Roll mixture into a large ball, cut in half. Roll each into two balls, cut each in half. Continue until there are 24 small meatballs. The meatballs are easy to form by rolling them in your palms until round and smooth. Spray hot skillet lightly with olive oil. Place meatballs in skillet and return to the oven. Cook for about 12 - 15 minutes until they are firm to the touch.

Place water in a medium to large stockpot over high heat. Once water is boiling, add spaghetti noodles. While pasta is cooking, place meatballs and tomato sauce in a medium saucepan and heat gently over medium heat. When sauce is hot, reduce heat to low. When pasta is done, remove noodles and let drain. Place noodles in sauce with meatballs and toss well. Serve hot in a large bowl topped with grated cheese
