A new twist on a classic favourite, Spaghetti and Meatballs Chinese Style is a hot and spicy feast that is packed full of flavour.

Who doesn’t love a great spaghetti and meatball dinner? I know it is always a favourite around here. Juicy meatballs surrounded by a great sauce, piled on top of a nice bowl of pasta. Sounds like dinner to me.

There are so many wonderful variations for this classic meal. So many ways to make the sauce, different meats to make the wonderful juicy meatballs, and of course your choice of pasta. I think you can pretty well make spaghetti and meatballs different every time.

I came across this awesome recipe from a really well known fantastic blogger The Chunky Chef and it inspired me to be a little creative in the kitchen, so Spaghetti and Meatballs Chinese Style was adapted from her great recipe.

For this recipe I wanted to change the meatballs up a bit, so I decided on doing an all pork version. You don’t usually see this and I wanted to see how well it would work. I combined the pork with fresh bread (that was soaked in water) and the meatballs came out so juicy I was thrilled with the results.

The regular tomato sauce was replaced with a sweet and spicy chili sauce, and I also sautéed some fresh mushrooms for some added texture and flavour.

Let me tell you this was one awesome pasta dish. Seriously we loved it better than any takeout we have had, and the best part is it’s homemade!! You can certainly experiment with different meats if you like as well as the spices so you can adjust it to your desired level of heat.

Next time you are looking for a great pasta dish, venture into the kitchen and try the Italian/Chinese fusion Spaghetti and Meatballs Chinese Style. If a sweet with heat flavour is what you are looking for, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.
