Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F or 175°C and grease a baking dish.
In a pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta until al Dante.
Add the ground lamb, bread crumbs, onion, garlic, egg, ½ teaspoon pepper, and one teaspoon salt in another bowl. Mix them very well and shape them into 16 meatballs.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and occasionally stir until it turns brown on all sides (about 8 minutes).
Add wine and gently scrape up brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Stir in the Marinara sauce, basil, spinach, and parsley and bring to simmer. Once done, remove it from heat and add it to the pasta.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish, top it with cheese and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes until cheese gets melted and edges are bubbly. Once done, let it stand for 10 minutes before serving.
