My favorite meatballs.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE MEATBALLS:
  • 1 cup Italian Bread Crumbs
  • ¼ cups Whole Milk, Room Temperature
  • 2 whole Large Eggs, Beaten And Room Temperature
  • ½ cups Parmesan Cheese, Grated
  • ¼ cups Basil, Chopped
  • ¼ cups Parsley, Chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon Tomato Paste
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • ¾ teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Black Pepper
  • 1 pound Ground Beef
  • 1 pound Italian Turkey Sausage Links, Casings Removed
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil For Drizzling
  • FOR THE SAUCE:
  • ¼ cups Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 whole Onion, Finely Chopped In A Food Processor
  • 3 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Black Pepper
  • 56 ounces, weight Canned Crushed Tomatoes
  • 2 teaspoons Oregano
  • 2 teaspoons Fennel Seeds
  • ¾ cups Basil, Chopped
  • 16 ounces, weight Spaghetti

Preparation

For the meatballs:
Preheat the oven to 400 F.

In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, Parmesan cheese, basil, parsley, tomato paste, garlic, salt and pepper. Stir to blend. Add the ground beef and sausage meat. Using your (clean) fingers gently mix all the ingredients until combined.

Using a 1-ounce cookie scoop, form the meat mixture into 1-1/2-inch balls (should yield about 24 meatballs). Place the meatballs on a heavy non-stick baking sheet. Mist with olive oil and bake for 15 minutes or until cooked through. When done remove them from the oven and set aside.

For the sauce:
Heat the olive oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, garlic, salt and pepper. Cook for 6 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes, oregano, fennel and 1/2 cup basil. Bring to a simmer. Cook over medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup basil.

While sauce is cooking, cook spaghetti noodles according to package directions.

Add the meatballs to the tomato sauce and simmer for 10 minutes. When pasta is done drain it. Serve sauce over pasta.
