Lusog Notes

This Cheesy Chicken Meatballs Spaghetti recipe is high in protein that is needed for growth, development, and repair of body tissues. It is also high in niacin that keeps the digestive and nervous systems healthy.

Chef's Tip

When forming the meatballs be sure that the cheese is fully covered with the chicken meat. When heated, the cheese will melt and will seep out of any hole in the meatball.
