Notes to the recipe: this recipe is traditional of Abruzzo, but is common with few variants in other southern regions as Apulia, Calabria, Basilicata, Campania.  Here we find a typical technique for cooking the sheep, lamb and mutton meat: at first in the tomato sauce, in this manner it gives all its strong smell to the sauce for spaghetti. It is useful in the winter period, when the sheep eat almost hay and their meat is stronger. The spaghetti take the taste and the meat for the meatballs becomes more delicate. The meatballs can be fried or stewed in tomato sauce. In this recipe they are fried. It is a traditional Italian starter.
