To sauce, add three bay leaves one hour before taking off the stove.
Serve spaghetti on large platter, pouring tomato sauce over it. Serve pelotas on smaller platter, allowing a small quantity of sauce to remain on them.
Serve grated Parmesan cheese on side. Use a piece of cheese to grate, not bottled cheese.
