Pasta Pomodoro
SPAGHETTI
Spaghetti pasta - 1 lb.
Prepare and drain carefully
MEATBALLS
Ground beef - 1 lb.
Mild Italian sasuage with casing removed - 2
Red onions - 1/4 cup, grated
Egg - 1
Bread crumbs - 1/2 cup
Fresh parsley - 1 tablespoon
Garlic cloves - 1, chopped
Salt - 2 tablespoon
Pepper - 2 teaspoons
Butter - 1/4 cube
Oil - 1/4 cup
Mix all the ingredients through to pepper thoroughly and form into compact balls slightly larger than a golf ball; make sure they're tight so they won't fall apart when cooking. Place on plate and dust with flour, covering ball in entirety. This prevents sticking.
In a fry pan, blend oil and butter and place meatballs in pan, turning frequently to brown on all sides. This develops full flavor.
SAUCE
Olive oil
Red onions - 1/4, grated
Garlic clove - 1, chopped
Fresh sage - 1/4 cup, ground
Tomato sauce - 3 cups
Parsley - 2 teaspoons, chopped
Red wine - 1/2 cup
Cook onions and garlic in oil until blonde; add tomato sauce, parsley and sage and simmer for 2 minutes. Take meatball pan and place meatballs into red sauce.
GLAZE
Drain fat off meat pan, return to heat and pour 1/2 C. red wine into pan, creating a sauce for glaze. Simmer with lid on top for 5 minutes, then pour on top of meatballs.
Place on large oval platter and garnish with chopped parsley.
Serves 4 -6
