Spaghetti

Meatballs

Steps

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2
In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat, and add the onion and green pepper. Cook until the onion is translucent (about 5-10 minutes).
3
Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
4
Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and tomato paste into the pan. Season with oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Simmer spaghetti sauce for 20 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
5
While sauce is simmering, cook the meatballs.
6
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, beaten egg, parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix together until just combined.
7
In a medium bowl, combine the milk, breadcrumbs, garlic, and onion.
8
Add milk mixture to the meat mixture being careful not to overwork ingredients.
9
Form into 1-inch meatballs, greasing hands before starting to keep the meat from sticking, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
10
Place in preheated oven and roast until the outsides are browned and they read 165°F on a meat thermometer (about 25 minutes).
11
Add baked meatballs to the spaghetti sauce. Toss to coat.
12
Serve over cooked noodles.
