• Pour the rest of the spaghetti sauce over the meatballs.
• Then pour in 4 cups of water.
• Sprinkle minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and basil on top. No need to stir.
• Finally, layer the spaghetti noodles on top and evenly drizzle the spaghetti noodles with 2-3 tbsp olive oil to lightly coat.
• Then, gently push down the spaghetti noodles until they are under the water (breaking them if necessary to fit.)
• Try to make sure each noodle is coated in the sauce. This will help to keep the noodles from sticking together while cooking.
• Cover and cook on low for about 2.5 hours (until noodles are soft and meatballs are heated through).
