Easy Spaghetti & Meatballs

This dish looks and tastes like it simmered away on the stove all day.
Fact is, you can have it on the table less than 30 minutes after walking
through the door in the evening.

                              Small pasta shapes, like wagon wheels and bowties, are easier
for kids to eat than spaghetti. Cook shapes in boiling water first, then
lift out with a slotted spoon; cook the spaghetti for the adults in the
same water.
