INGREDIENTS:

¼ cup of parsley – finely chopped

1-pound ground beef

½ tsp red pepper flakes

Kosher salt

1/3 cup of bread crumbs

2 garlic cloves – minced

¼ cup of Parmesan – freshly grated, plus more for serving

1 (28-ounces) can tomatoes – crushed

1 egg

1 bay leaf

2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Freshly ground black pepper

1-pound spaghetti

½ cup of onion – finely chopped

INGREDIENTS FOR SAUCE:

4 cloves minced garlic

2 tbsp basil – finely minced

1 yellow onion

Salt & pepper to taste

56 ounces crushed tomatoes

Optional: 2 bay leaves

DIRECTIONS:

  • Now cook the spaghetti by following the package instructions in a large pot of boiling salted water. Once it’s cooked – drain the water.
  • Now take another large bowl and add the beef, Parmesan, 1 tsp salt, egg, bread crumbs, and red pepper flakes. Mix them until combined totally. Now form around 16 meatballs.
  • Pour some oil in a large pot and heat it on over medium heat. Now place the meatballs gently onto the pot and cook. Make sure you turn the meatballs occasionally until they turned browned on all sides. This process would take less than 10 minutes. Move the fried meatballs to a plate.
  • Now place the finely chopped onion in the pot and cook for 5 minutes or until turned soft. Now you need to add bay leaf, crushed tomatoes, and season with salt and pepper, and bring it to a simmer. Transfer the meatballs to the pot and cook, covered. Now wait for 8 to 10 minutes or until the sauce is thickened.
  • Now you are ready to enjoy your yummy pasta with sauce and a delicious scoop of meatballs. Before you serve on the table – don’t forget to top with Parmesan.

  • In the same skillet – add more oil and saute 1 cup chopped onion. On over medium heat – stir them for 5 minutes or until soft and golden. Now add the minced garlic and stir for around 1-2 minutes.
  • Stir in two bay leaves and two cans of crushed tomatoes. Now bring them to a light boil and stir to make sure that it’s not just sending bubbles to the surface and actually boiling.
  • Now place the meatballs back into the pan along with tomato sauce. Cover the pan with a splatter screen or you can also cover it with the lid partially to decrease splatter. Now turn the meatballs occasionally and cook for around 30 minutes at a gentle simmer. You will notice that the sauce is thickened and the meatballs are tendered. Now stir in chopped fresh basil and season with salt & pepper, 5 minutes before the sauce is done.
