Ali Nazik Pasta with Meatballs

Hello Dear Friends,

Who can say no to meatballs and pasta? Well, have you ever tried roasted eggplant and macaroni together? Such a harmony of flavors is hard to find 😍

 I prepared one of my favorite recipes, Meatball Ali Nazik, with @filizmakarna's pencil pasta made from 100% Turkish Durum wheat.
