Best Spaghetti and Meatballs

Step 1

Prepare the sauce first so that it can simmer and reduce while you prepare the meatballs.

Step 2

In a dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat add the garlic and onions and sauté together until the onions have softened but not browned.

Step 3

Add all of the remaining ingredients for the sauce and simmer on low heat while you prepare the meatballs.

Step 4

Pour the milk over the breadcrumb and let them soak while you gather the other ingredients in the meatball recipe.

Step 5

Put all ingredients in a large bowl and mix together well.

Step 6

Form into 2 1/2 inch balls. Keeping your hands wet with cold water prevents the mixture from sticking to your hands.

Step 7

Brown the meatballs on all sides in a non stick frying pan for about 10 minutes. You want to get some good colour on them.

Step 8

Add the meatballs to the simmering sauce in the dutch oven.

Step 9

Simmer slowly for about 30 minutes before serving over al dente cooked spaghetti with a garnish of additional Parmesan cheese.
