    List of Ingredients




    MEATBALL INGREDIENTS
    2 lbs. Ground veal
    1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    1 cup unseasoned bread crumbs
    3 whole eggs
    1 small onion, chopped
    3 cloves of fresh garlic, minced
    5 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
    Salt and pepper to taste

    Recipe



    Mix all ingredients thoroughly by hand in a large mixing bowl. Roll 2-ounce portions into a ball. In a skillet, heat ½ cup of olive oil. Place meatballs in oil and brown completely. Once finished, place meatballs to the side.

    SAUCE INGREDIENTS
    2 oz. of virgin olive oil
    3 pounds of tomato puree
    ½ cup of white wine
    1 quart of water
    1 small red onion, chopped
    3 tablespoons of fresh basil, chopped
    2 cloves of fresh garlic, minced
    Salt and pepper to taste


    DIRECTIONS
    In a medium pot, sauté onions in olive oil until golden brown. Add garlic and sauté briefly without burning the garlic, then add the wine to onions and garlic. Simmer for about 2-3 minutes. Add the tomato puree, basil, and water. Bring to a boil while stirring frequently. Lower heat and simmer for about ½ hour. Add the meatballs and cook slowly for another hour, stirring regularly so the meatballs to not stick to the pot.

    Cook 1 pound of spaghetti in lightly salted, boiling water for about 8 minutes. Remember: do not overcook the pasta.

    Once spaghetti is cooked, strain the pasta. Combine about half of the sauce to evenly coat the pasta. Place the spaghetti and sauce on a platter. Then add the meatballs with remaining sauce on top. Sprinkle generously with grated Parmesan cheese.
