Easy and Addictive Spaghetti and Meatballs
- 2- 1/2 pounds Ground Beef/turkey
- 3 whole Eggs
- 13 cups Farina (commonly Called "cream Of Wheat")
- 3/4 cups Shredded Cheese (any Kind Will Do)
- 3 dashes Lemon Squeezed Onto The Meat
- 1 whole Garlic Clove, Minced
- 1 teaspoon Oregano
- 2 Tablespoons Mixed Spices (basil, Tomato, Pepper, Etc - Your Choice)
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cups Butter
- 1 whole Onion
- 42 ounces, fluid Tomato Paste
- 1/2 cups Water, Or To Taste
- 1 pound Thick Spaghetti Noodles
- 1 Tablespoon Butter (for The Noodles)
- MEATBALLS: Spices: I say your choice because spices are personal!
- Choose your favorites and dump them in, or just use an Italian spice mix, or a pre-mixed one.
- Combine all ingredients for the meatballs in a large bowl with your hands, mashing together thoroughly.
- Let marinate in the fridge for 1/2 hour.
- (You can skip this if youre in a hurrytheyll still taste super yummy.)
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 C).
- Shape into about 1-inch round balls.
- Place on pans lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.
- (You can pull one apart to be sure.)
- Remove from pans to paper towel-lined plates to absorb any grease.
- SAUCE: Once you stick the meatballs in the oven, lets get the sauce started.
- Heat a large pot (it will need to fit all the meatballs and sauce) on medium high heat.
- Add butter.
- Chop onion and add to the pot.
- Let cook for 3-5 minutes.
- Then add all of your tomato paste and water to desired consistency.
- Right before the meatballs are done, start a pot of water boiling and add your thick noodles.
- Cook for the allotted amount of time.
- Keep simmering the sauce until meatballs come out of the oven.
- You can then add the meatballs to the sauce.
- Simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Strain your noodles and add the butter to keep them from sticking together.
- Serve with crusty bread or my pepperoni bread (from my recipe box)!
- But watch out: the sauce is addictive and combined with the meatballs, its hard to stop eating them!
- Enjoy!
- *slurp*
- Note: If you dont want so may servings, you can easily halve the recipe.
