This one is very simple my Friends....

Step 3

In a large skillet, place the balls in the heated 3 tablespoons ofoil and seer all sides of the ball. Place balls in a large pan, pour enough water to come up about 1/4 of the way up the pan. Yes, You will be cooking these in the water bath.
Step 4

Cover tightly with foil and bake for 30 to 40 minutes While balls are baking, cook the pasta using 2 tablespoons of the oil. Top the pasta with your favorite sauce, or You can always pour Browned Butter over the pasta and savor the experience!!!
