Someone Made An Enormous Meatball Stuffed With Spaghetti And It's Beautiful

History is written by the victors.

So, food blogger Jenn Press Arata created this 3-pound meatball stuffed with angel hair spaghetti.

This feat required fortitude of mind, body, and spirit. But Arata is a seasoned pro when it comes to inventive food concoctions, like s'mores balls or Nutella-stuffed pancakes.

She says of her cooking, "It's an art form, in a way. Not that I'm calling a three-pound meat mountain filled with pasta an art form. That was just a fun Tuesday night."
