Spaghetti and meatballs with mushrooms

Its been a long time that I made Spaghetti and meatballs and today I went and got ready to eat Marinara sauce with Basil. So I did not actually made the sauce from scratch but added few more things to it to change the taste
                  The meatballs are made up of ground lamb and these are one of the most juiciest meatballs I ever made and ate. Here is the recipe. Hope you will make it

Meatballs (Ground lamb mixed with spices and baked to perfection)
  1. 1 lb ground lamb
  2. 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and fresh ground pepper, Italian seasoning
  3. 1 heaped teaspoon relish
  4. 1/2-3/4 cup finely chopped red onions
  5. 2 big garlic pods grated
  6. 1/2-3/4 cup home made bread crumbs
  7. 1 tablespoon water
  8. 1 egg
Mix all the ingredients together into the meat with a light hand and set aside for atleast 30 minutes. I made medium small size meat balls. So I got about 20-24 meat balls. Heat the oven to 400 degrees and bake on a lighly sprayed baking sheet for 30 minutes. Turn half way through. Serve as appetizers or any other way you like
