Old Fashioned Spaghetti and Meatballs
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef of ground turkey
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 large eggs
3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (this is my secret ingredient...added it on a whim)
1 cup breadcrumbs
4 cups of spaghetti sauce
1/2 cup of chopped fresh basil or fresh parsley
1 pound spaghetti or linguine noodles
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan or Romano Cheese
1. Preheat oven to 350'. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil (I always spray with PAM so they the meatballs don't stick).
2. Combine beef/turkey, onion, eggs, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, cinnamon, breadcrumbs in a large bowl; mix well. Form the mixture into 1-inch meatballs (about 24). Place on cookie sheet and bake for about 25 minutes. Blot well with paper towel.
3. Put a large pot of lightly salted water on to boil.
4. Pour sauce into a dutch oven and bring to a simmer. Add the meatballs to the sauce and cover, simmering for about 20 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, cook spaghetti until just tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Drain and transfer to a serving bowl. Top with sauce and meatballs and serve with grated Parmesan Cheese.
Bon Appetite!
