  2. Form into mini patties. I rolled it out and used a small cookie cutter to get a uniform size.

  3. Coat each patty with the breadcrumbs and in medium depth of hot oil, fry till golden brown. If it isn't quite done it will finish when simmering in the sauce.

  4. Move each one when finished frying to a paper towel to absorb excessive amounts of oil.

  5. Boil the pasta according to instructions on the package. Add olive oil and parsley to the pasta after you drain it. Coat each piece of pasta.

  6. Heat the tomato sauce. Add the spices and simmer 7 minutes then add the rest of the sauce ingredients. Taste adjust the seasonings to your desired taste.

  10. Let them sit off heat covered 15 minutes. This will allow the sauce to seep into the meatballs a bit. Now serve on top of the Fettuccine.
