This authentic Latin American style spaghetti and meatballs with tomatillo sauce is one of those recipes that virtually no one I know has heard of, and I like that! It makes it that much more fun to make, and I don’t think I could ever get tired of this spaghetti recipe! I love international food because it’s a break from what you might find at local restaurants.

For those who don’t know, a tomatillo is a vegetable that looks like a green tomato. However, it varies in taste from tomato and has a mildly inconsistent flavour. Some tomatillos are sweeter, while others are more sour or tart. I’m always searching for new and exciting dishes, so one that utilized tomatillos (a vegetable of which I had previously no knowledge) caught my attention.
