Theres nothing more comforting than a big bowl of homemade meatballs and sauce.

Ingredients

  • Sauce:
  • 2 - 28 ounce cans Italian tomatoes
  • ¼ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 Onion, diced
  • 1 Tablespoon Garlic Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Crushed Hot Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • ¼ cup Fresh Basil Leaves or 2 teaspoons dried Basil
  • Meatballs:
  • 1 lb. Ground Beef
  • 1 cup Panko Bread Crumbs or Toasted White Bread, crumbled
  • ⅓ cup Parmesan or Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese, grated
  • 2 cloves of Garlic, peeled and finely diced or ¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ¼ cup Fresh Italian Parsley, diced or 2 teaspoons dried Parsley
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Pepper
  • ¼ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil (to cook in)
  • 1 lb. Spaghetti
  • 1 cup Freshly Grated Parmesan or Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese

Directions

  • Place the tomatoes in a blender and pulse for a few seconds.
  • Heat olive oil in saucepan over medium heat. Stir in onion and cook for about 4-5 minutes.
  • Pour in tomatoes, garlic salt, pepper, crushed red pepper, sugar and basil leaves.
  • Bring to a boil, then lower the heat, stirring occasionally for 30 minutes.
  • To make meatballs:
  • Place ground beef in large mixing bowl. Sprinkle with bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic, parsley, egg, salt, and pepper.
  • Mix the ingredients with clean hands (dig in there!) just until blended together. Shape the meat mixture into 1½ inch balls.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place as many meatballs that you can fit into the pan without overcrowding. Cook until golden brown on all sides, turning as necessary, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the meatballs and repeat with others.
  • Add the browned meatballs to tomato sauce and cook gently over low heat until fully cooked through -- about 30 minutes.
  • Bring water to boil. Generously salt water. Once boiling, add spaghetti and cook according to package instructions. Drain the pasta and return to pot.
  • Top with sauce and meatballs and sprinkle with cheese.
  • Right before serving, spoon more sauce over pasta and meatballs.
