Nanas Spaghetti Sauce And Meatballs Recipes

NONNA'S SPAGHETTI & MEATBALLS

Steps:

• To prepare meatballs: Lightly beat eggs in a large bowl. Stir in breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup onion, cheese, parsley, garlic, salt and pepper. Add beef, pork (or sausage) and veal; gently mix until combined (do not overmix). Using 1/4 cup for each, make 16 meatballs and place in a 6-quart slow cooker.
• To prepare sauce & spaghetti: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 cup onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic, Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper; cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add wine and boil for 1 minute. Add crushed and diced tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Pour the sauce over the meatballs.
• Put the lid on the slow cooker and cook on High for 4 hours or Low for 8 hours.
• 30 minutes before you're ready to eat, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes or according to package directions.
• Spoon any fat off the sauce; add oregano. Serve the meatballs and sauce over the spaghetti with extra Parmesan, if desired.

• Put meat & pork in large bowl. Add pepper, salt, parsley, & cheese.
• Mix thoroughly. Add eggs & bread crumbs, mix until well blended. Oil hands and make into balls, whatever size you like, and don't squish them to death, just medium to lightly form into balls.
• Put oil in the frying pan & brown slowly (don't let them get crusty). Then drain them and put in the Spaghetti Sauce, and continue cooking them in the sauce.
• We like Italian sausages too, and cook them the same way & add to sauce.
