MEATBALLS WITH RIGATONI
Meatballs made with ground veal and pork are served with rigatoni. The ridged tubes of pasta are even better than spaghetti for catching this spicy homemade tomato sauce.

RIGATONI AND MEATBALLS
I always wanted to be Italian. It never materialized for me, though. Something about the fact that none of my ancestors were Italian. Details can be so annoying sometimes. Despite my lack of Italian heritage, however, I have to say that my meatballs ain't bad at all. Marlboro Man loves them, and because long, round noodles (some humans refer to them as "spaghetti") are cumbersome and unwieldy, I take the easy road and serve mine with rigatoni.

Steps:
- Place the bread on a baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes in a 200 degrees F oven, or until totally dry.
- Break the bread into chunks . . .
- And pulse [in food processor] until the bread turns into crumbs.
- Throw the meat into a large mixing bowl.
- Add the garlic, bread crumbs, eggs, parsley, grated Parmesan, milk, salt, and pepper. Use clean hands to mix together until well combined.
- Use a scoop to retrieve a small amount of the meat mixture . . . And roll it in your hands to make meatballs (about 25). Place the pan in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes, just to firm them up.
- Heat the olive oil in a heavy pot over medium-high heat. Working with 8 to 10 meatballs at a time, cook them until brown but not cooked all the way through, 2 to 3 minutes per batch.
- Remove from the pan to a plate while you make the rigatoni and sauce.
- Add the onion and garlic to the pan. Stir and cook for a minute or two, until the onion begins to soften.
- Add the wine and cook for another minute. (Just omit this step if you're not using wine.)
- Add the crushed tomatoes...whole tomatoes... salt, pepper, and sugar . . . And parsley and basil.
- Stir the sauce to combine all the ingredients . . . Cover and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Then throw in the meat-a-balls!
- Stir gently, then cover and cook for 20 more minutes, stirring once or twice, until the meatballs are cooked through.
- Heap the rigatoni on a large platter and pile the meatballs and sauce on the top. Sprinkle on some extra minced parsley and serve with extra grated Parmesan.
- This is a good one, my friends.
- I mean . . . i miei amici.
- Sincerely,
- Costanza
RIGATONI AND MEATBALLS
Every Italian-American grandma has a version of this sauce, served on Sunday. It's a thin, flavorful tomato puree served over rigatoni with meatballs, sausages, and any other meat that happens to be in the refrigerator.

BEEF MEATBALLS AND SAUCE WITH RIGATONI
This recipe is a complete throwback to my childhood. I can't tell you how much I enjoy a dish of dried pasta with these meatballs, sauce, and cheese. I think if you make your own meatballs, you get a pass on making pasta from scratch. The al dente rigatoni has got that wonderful texture against the tender meatballs. One of my favorite things to do with the leftover meatballs and sauce is to pop the bowl in the fridge and wait for it to cool completely. Usually, in the middle of the night, I will wake up and unearth a meaty boulder from its nap in the sauce and dig in. What is it about eating standing with the fridge door open that makes food taste incredible? Maybe it's because we're being bad and eating when we aren't supposed to, but I think it's also the effect this delicious sauce has on me. Serves 4 to 6

Steps:
- Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a rolling boil.
- Make the sauce: In a large wide, saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the onions are tender, 10 to 15 minutes, and then add the plum tomatoes, sugar, and oregano. Stir to blend and then pour in the canned tomatoes and their juices. Cook, stirring from time to time, until it comes to a simmer, about 5 minutes, to allow the ingredients to meld together. Taste for seasoning. Lower the heat and let the sauce continue to cook as you make the meatballs. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Make the meatballs: Put the beef in a large bowl and spread it all over the bottom of the bowl and up the sides a little. This will help you to distribute the seasoning evenly over the meat. Sprinkle the meat with the salt and add the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and red pepper flakes. Use your hands to mix all of the ingredients together. Work in 1 of the eggs with your hands. Roll 1 small ball (about 11/2 to 2 inches in diameter).
- Taste test: In a small skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of the canola oil over high heat. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, shut off the heat (to avoid splattering), and add the meatball. Put the heat back on high and brown on all sides for a few minutes until cooked but still pink in the middle. Taste for seasoning and texture. If too moist, add more bread crumbs. If too dry, add another beaten egg or a splash of water. Adjust the salt and red pepper flakes, if needed, as well. Roll the remaining meat into 11/2-inch diameter meatballs; you should have about 20.
- Cook the meatballs: Heat a large skillet over high heat and add the remaining canola oil. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, shut off the heat and add the meatballs in a single layer, spreading them apart somewhat so they have a chance to brown instead of steaming. Put the heat back on high and turn the meatballs to brown them on all sides. Cook to medium-rare, 3 to 5 minutes. Squeeze the sides of 2 meatballs between your thumb and index finger to make sure they are still tender in the center. Use a slotted spoon or spatula to remove them from the pan and transfer them to a tray lined with a kitchen towel to drain any excess grease.
- Cook the pasta: Season the boiling water with salt until it tastes like seawater. Bring the water back up to a boil. Add the pasta to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally with a slotted spoon to make sure it doesn't clump or stick to the bottom as it cooks, until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the pasta in a colander, reserving about 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
- Serve the meatballs: Meanwhile, once you drop the pasta in the water, add the meatballs to the sauce and simmer over very low heat, 3 to 5 minutes. Shut off the heat and allow the sauce and meat to rest as your pasta finishes cooking. Pour off any excess grease in the skillet used to brown the meatballs, add a ladle of sauce, and warm the pan over low heat. Stir to catch any browned bits of meat in the skillet. After a few minutes, pour that sauce back in with the rest. Stir in a little of the reserved pasta cooking liquid if needed to thin. Transfer the sauce and meatballs to a large bowl and toss in half of the cooked pasta. Add about 3/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese. Stir in the remaining pasta. Serve with the remaining cheese in a bowl on the side.
