Spaghetti and Meatball Salad


Pasta Salad is food that is almost totally dominated by a handful of pastas.  Rotini, Penne and Bowtie seem to have the market cornered, except for Macaroni, which has elbowed out of the market altogether and started it's own salad racket.  Why is Spaghetti, the cornerstone of American pasta habits, so unjustly underrepresented in the salad game?  

Ingredients:

1lb Spaghetti
1lb bag frozen meatballs
Italian Dressing
Lettuce

Instructions:

Cook Spaghetti according to instructions on the box
Add to a bowl and mix in some Italian Dressing
Add meatballs and some dressing to a pan and cook over medium heat until browned
Stir meatballs into the spaghetti
Put bowl into the fridge for a few hours
Serve with lettuce and dressing


This turned out pretty well.  The spaghetti is a bit cumbersome, but not really any moreso than how it normally is.  There are a few things I would do differently though.  The meatballs are a bit on the large side and I should have used a smaller sized meatball so they could be eaten more easily with the spaghetti and lettuce.  Additionally, I'm not sure that I would add the dressing while cooking the meatballs, as it was fairly poppy, in a not great way.
