03 Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Step 2

Spray a mini cupcake pan with non-stick spray.
Step 3

Place cooked pasta in a medium-sized bowl to cool.
Step 4

Add egg, cheeses, and seasonings to the pasta and stir until completely incorporated.
Step 5

Using your fingers, press about 2-3 tablespoons of the pasta, egg and cheese mixture into each of the cupcake holes.
Step 6

Using a shot glass, press the pasta down so there is an indent for the meatball.
Step 7

Bake for 15-20 minutes until they are firm and just starting to brown on the bottom.
Step 8

While the pasta nests are baking, add the pasta sauce and meatballs to a stove-top pan and simmer until fully warmed.
Step 9

Remove the pasta nests from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes.
Step 10

Remove the nests and top each one with an individual meatball and a fancy toothpick.
Step 11

Drizzle each meatball with a little more pasta sauce. Serve warm or room temperature.
