Spaghetti and Meatballs
Ingredients
- 8 oz spaghetti
- 1 onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 egg
- 1 lb ground turkey or beef
- 2 Tbsp all purpose flour
- 1 tsp onion and garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 4 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 Tbsp oil
- 1 can crushed tomatoes
- 1 can tomato sauce
Directions
- Cook spaghetti according to package directions. In a colander, rinse with cool water and drain well.
- While the spaghetti is cooking, peel onion and garlic. Finely chop onion and mince garlic. Set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat the egg with a fork. Add turkey/beef, flour, onion powder, garlic powder salt, pepper and 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning. Mix well. With damp hands, roll about 1 Tablespoon of meat into a ball to make 20 meatballs. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning. Stir constantly for 30 seconds. Add tomato sauce and crushed tomatoes. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer and add meatballs. Cook, partially covered, for 10 minutes without stirring (stirring before the meatballs “set” may break them up into the sauce).
- Gently stir and cook, partially covered, until the meatballs are just cooked through, about 5 minutes more. Serve over spaghetti.
