    Source of Recipe


    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
