Recipe Introduction
unbelievably easy and delicious homemade spaghetti
List of Ingredients
4 eggs, beaten
2 cans (12 oz.) Hunt's Tomato Paste
1/2 cup minced onion
1/2 cup parmesan cheese (I use Italian mix)
3 tablespoons minced parsley
1 or 2 cloves garlic minced
salt
2 lbs. ground beef or chuck
1 1/2 soft italian style bread crumbs
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 cups hot water
1 1/2 tsp sugar or splenda
2 tsp. basil
2 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 pound spaghetti, cooked and drained (we always use angel hair)Recipe
In a bowl, mix together eggs, 2 tbsp. tomato paste, onion, cheese, parsley, garlic, and 2 tsp. salt. Add beef and bread crumbs; mix thoroughly. Form into 20-40 meatballs (depending on size of each). Lightly brown in a hot skillet on all sides in hot oil; drain fat. Blend remaining tomato paste with hot water, sugar, basil and oregano, 1 tsp. salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Pour over meatballs. Simmer covered 10 mins. Uncover; simmer ten minutes more. Serve over spaghetti.
(I usually make my meatballs a bit bigger than the recipe says and then I bake them in the oven after frying them, while I'm baking the garlic bread, then add them to the sauce and simmer them.
