1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). 2.

Form the mixture into small meatballs (about the size of a golf ball). 4. Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, until cooked through. 5. Meanwhile, cook the mini farfalle according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside. 6. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute to create a roux. 7. Gradually whisk in the milk and tomato sauce, cooking until thickened. Add the petite diced tomatoes and spaghetti sauce, stirring to combine. 8. Serve the meatballs over the mini farfalle, drizzled with the sauce. Top with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
