Spaghetti And Meatballs

• Sauce:
• Cooking spray
• 1 cup finely chopped onion
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 (14-ounce) can less-sodium beef broth
• 2 (28-ounce) cans whole peeled tomatoes, undrained and chopped
• Meatballs:
• 1 (1-ounce) slice white bread
• 2 (4-ounce) links sweet turkey Italian sausage, casings removed
• 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
• 1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons egg substitute
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 large egg
• 1 pound ground sirloin
• Remaining ingredients:
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
• 1 pound hot cooked spaghetti
• 1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated fresh Parmigiano-Reggiano
• Fresh parsley sprigs (optional)

1. To prepare sauce, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add 1 cup onion; saute for 3 minutes. Add 3 garlic cloves, and saute 1 minute. Add tomato paste; cook 1 minute. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt and broth. Cook 4 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes. Reduce heat, and simmer 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Preheat broiler.
3. To prepare meatballs, place bread in a food processor, and process until fine crumbs measure 1/2 cup. Combine the breadcrumbs, sausage, 1/2 cup onion, and next 8 ingredients (through sirloin) in a bowl. With wet hands, shape sirloin mixture into 32 meatballs. Place meatballs on a broiler pan. Broil 15 minutes or until done. Add meatballs to sauce; simmer 15 minutes. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup parsley and 1/3 cup basil. Serve over spaghetti. Sprinkle with cheese; garnish with parsley sprigs, if desired.
4. Wine note: Spaghetti and Meatballs is terrific with red or white wine as long as the wine has good acidity to mirror that of the tomatoes and act as a counterpoint to the meatballs. Because our recipe has fresh herbs, I prefer white wine with the dish--in particular, an herbal dry white from southern Italy such as Feudi di San Gregorio Greco di Tufo 2004 ($22). -Karen MacNeil
