Tender, savory meatballs cooked in fresh herb-infused sauce take this authentic spaghetti to the next level.
Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.75 cup chopped onion
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 (16 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
- 3 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
- 0.5 cup sugar
- 0.25 cup chopped fresh oregano, divided
- salt and pepper to taste
- 0.5 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
- 0.25 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 (16 ounce) package uncooked spaghetti
Instructions:
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, sauté the onion in olive oil until lightly browned. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, water, sugar, half the oregano, and a bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper, bring to a boil, then simmer on low while making the meatballs.
- Combine ground round, bread crumbs, remaining oregano, remaining garlic, parsley, eggs, and cheese in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Form into 1 inch balls and place into the sauce. Simmer for 40 minutes until meatballs reach an internal temperature of 160°F (72°C).
- Boil a generous pot of lightly salted water and add the spaghetti. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes until al dente, then drain. Top the cooked spaghetti with the meatballs and sauce before serving.
