Easy Homemade Spaghetti and Meatballs

Step 1

Heat onion & olive oil in large sauce pan over medium-low heat, and saute until translucent. Reduce heat to low.

Step 2

Soak whole wheat bread with milk and squeeze out excess. Tear into small chunks and put into a mixing bowl with egg, garlic, garlic salt, onion, dried basil, dried oregano, and black pepper. Mix well until bread and seasonings are well combined with meat.

Step 3

Form into small 1 inch in diameter balls. Turn heat in sauce pan up to medium and brown meat balls. Remove from pan when brown and set aside.

Step 4

Add 2 TBSP chopped garlic to sauce pan and saute approximately 1 minute.

Step 5

Add all other sauce ingredients except the water, and heat to a simmer. Return meat balls to pan, reduce heat to low, and simmer on low stirring frequently until meat balls are cooked through and sauce is your desired thickness. You'll want to add some water to the sauce if it starts getting too thick. How much you'll need depends on what brand of sauces and tomatoes you are using. Just keep an eye out and add some as necessary.

Step 6

Enjoy with fresh grated parmesan, hot pasta, fresh garlic bread, and caesar salad.
