Spaghetti and Meatball Nests

I like the idea of nests (and eating them!!). Saw this one in the paper yesterday, and wanted to pass it along.
(makes 12)

3 large egg whites
8 oz. cooked spaghetti
2 cups marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella
12 precooked meatballs
1 T. chopped fresh basil

Whisk egg whites in a med. bowl. Add the spaghetti, 1&1/2 cup marinara sauce, and 3/4 cup of the cheese; mix well. Divide evenly among 12 generously greased muffin cups, pressing mixture up sides to form nests. Bake 12 mins. at 400 or until bubbly. Place 1 meatball in each nest; top with more sauce, and more cheese. Bake 3-5 mins. more or until cheese is melted. Transfer nests to plates. Sprinkle evenly with basil. I would serve dilled green beans* with this, and a warm loaf of garlic bread.*

Have FUN today!!!
