Up until a few years ago, I would never have dreamed of ordering spaghetti at a restaurant. It was boring. My meals had to have pizzazz and extravance. Spaghetti and meatballs was just so...anticlimactic. But as I've gotten older, it is one of my favorite things to order from authentic italian restaurants. (Especially after days on end of ordering so-good-but-so-bad seafood pasta Alfredos because I'm on vacation and you only love once and blah blah anything else to justify it). Yes, I realize spaghetti and meatballs is by no means a healthy dish but let me live in my own deluded world where anything that isn't fried or creamy is a healthy option. So anyways, this spaghetti and meatballs is from Frankie Bones, a restaurant in Hilton Head Island where I am currently vacationing. It was perfect: the meatballs were homemade (this should be a given but you'd be surprised). I'm guessing they were a veal/pork mixture and they were absolutely excellent. The sauce was light but flavorful and the spaghettini was al dente perfection. It might seem weird to be this excited about spaghetti and meatballs, but I've only ever had two versions of this dish that I actually liked. The spaghetti and meatballs at Frankie Bones deserves to be commended. Also, the bread and garlic herb spread's not too shabby either.
