Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 7 minutes. Drain and toss in a bowl with olive oil, then refrigerate until cool, about 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray. Toss cooled spaghetti with 1 cup Parmesan cheese. Divide spaghetti between the prepared muffin cups, arranging noodles in each cup to create "nests" for the meatballs. Top each nest with 1 tablespoon pasta sauce, 1 meatball, and 1 more tablespoon pasta sauce, respectively. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan cheese over the tops of each nest. Bake in the preheated oven until pasta and meatballs are heated through and cheese melts, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool slightly before transferring muffin bites to a serving platter.
