I do love spaghetti with meatballs. But the common tomato sauce can get a little bit boring after having it for the one hundred time. So I thought it would be interesting to add some changes to it. Luckily, I found a recipe with chicken meatballs @thehealthypoon which looks delicious. I used turkey mince but feel free to stick with chicken or any other meat you prefer. Additionally, I went creative instead of strictly following the recipe. It turned out really good and it was particularly nice to try out something new. Additionally, you don't need any crazy ingredients, so you can start making it today.

It would be nice if you put measurements in the imperial system( that is ounces ,cups etc) In addition to the metric system
