Description

This most yummy dish has been gracing our table for more than 30 years and anyone who tries it has to have the recipe. I have tweaked it over time and honestly believe that it is as good now as it is going to get.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE MEATBALLS:
  • 2  Eggs
  • ½ cups Milk
  • 3 slices Wheat Bread, Crumbled
  • 2 pounds Ground Chuck
  • ½ cups Onion, finely chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh Parsley, Chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Crushed
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Pepper
  • FOR THE SAUCE:
  • ¼ cups Olive Oil
  • ½ cups Onion, Chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Crushed
  • 2 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Salt
  • 1-½ teaspoon Dried Basil Leaves
  • ½ teaspoons Fennel Seed (don't Leave This Out)
  • ¼ teaspoons Pepper
  • 1 can (2 Lb. 3 Oz.) Italian-style Tomatoes
  • 12 ounces, weight Tomato Paste
  • ½ cups Water
  • FOR THE SPAGHETTI:
  • 1 pound Spaghetti Noodles
  • ½ cups Parmesan Cheese, Grated

Preparation

For the Meatballs:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

In a medium bowl, beat eggs slightly. Add milk and bread, mix well. Let stand 5 minutes. Add ground chuck, onion, parsley, garlic, salt and pepper; mix until well blended. Shape into 24 meatballs, 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Place in a shallow baking pan. Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

For the Spaghetti:
In a 5 quart Dutch oven, over medium heat, heat the oil then saute onion and garlic until golden. Then add remainder of sauce ingredients, mashing tomatoes with wooden spoon. Bring to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 1/2 hour. Add meatballs, simmer, covered, 1 hour longer, stirring occasionally.

Cook spaghetti noodles as package label directs, drain.

To serve: Place spaghetti noodles on serving dish. Top with meatballs and sauce; sprinkle with cheese.
