Paolo's Meatballs & Sauce

1 pound Ground Beef
1/2-1 cup Bread Crumbs
3 eggs
2 Tbsp. Parsley (fresh recommended)

"Pinch" of Nutmeg
1 clove crushed Garlic

  1. Mix well the above; add bread crumbs if the final product is too runny.
  2. Set aside; refrigerate. Start sauce.
  3. Cover bottom of a deep pan in extra virgin olive oil. Add 2-3 whole cloves garlic and heat on medium for several minutes.
  4. Add Large can of crushed tomatoes (Hunt's recommended) and a few whole tomatoes (which I crush in my fingers, first).
  5. Season with a little salt and cook on Med/Low for 10 minutes.
  6. Roll meatballs and drop in sauce. Once done, cook for 20-25 minutes.
  7. *Optional: Throw in some fresh basil leaves with 2 minutes left in the cooking time.

  1. This is Marya--who posted this recipe. Noelle learned this from an Italian student/friend. It is 95% of the time the spaghetti recipe I serve for my family. Very good. Very easy.
