Spaghetti and Meatballs Recipe

What would a cookbook be without a decent recipe for spaghetti and meatballs? My
father-in-law, Tony's favorite recipe. When he first had this dish, he was
immediately transported back to his childhood. Growing up in an Italian family,
he immediately declared that Me Maw would be very proud! This is also one of my
mom's favorite dishes and something she asked for weekly when she was going
through chemo treatments. Jarred Sauce? FAH' GET' ABOUT IT! (Throw up hands in
the air!) Don't be chintzy! Make my marinara recipe on this website! Take the
time and do it right! Tasting Guidelines: Taste is savory and sweet. Weight is
medium but can be balanced with lemon juice. Texture is meaty and noodley. Good
for people with low to moderate treatment side effects. Best categorized as
Italian.

Instructions

1 Mix all of the above meatball ingredients, flavor balancers, and aromatics, in a
large bowl. Mix by hand, thoroughly distributing all ingredients. Mix in bread
crumbs as necessary to absorb extra moisture. Cover and allow to rest in
refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
2 Preheat oven to 425°After meatball mixture is done marinating, roll by hand into
your desired size. I prefer to make mine about the size of a golf ball. Now
place into a 9×13 baking dish. Make sure that your dish is well coated with
cooking spray. After filling dish with meatballs, spray the top of the meatballs
with nice even coat of the same cooking spray. Bake until juices run clear and a
little bit of the cheese starts melting out. This will vary based on the size of
your meatballs. If they are the golf ball size, about 30–45 minutes. If your
meatballs are larger, they will take longer.
3 During last 15 minutes, cook off your spaghetti. Making sure that the water you
use is salted enough to taste like the ocean. Don’t over cook your pasta. Strain
well and lightly coat with olive oil to avoid sticking.
