BETH'S 4-GENERATION SPAGHETTI & MEATBALLS RECIPE
Serves 8-10


INGREDIENTS:

FOR THE SAUCE:
9 cups (2169 ML) diced tomatoes
2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp (10 ml) salt
¼ tsp (1.75 ml) pepper
¼ cup (22 g) fresh basil
2 lbs (900 g) spaghetti


FOR THE MEATBALLS:
½ lb (230 g) ground beef
½ lb (230 g) ground Turkey
½ lb (230 g) Mild Italian Pork Sausage, casings removed
2 cups (120 g) fresh torn bread, from an Italian loaf or sandwich bread
1/3 cup (80 ml) milk
2 eggs
1 cup (90 g) Parmesan, freshly and finely grated
1/3 cup (40 g) flat leaf parsley, finely minced
½ tsp (2.5 ml) freshly cracked pepper
½ tsp (2.5 ml) salt
2 tbsp (10 ml) Italian Seasoning
1 ½ tsp (7.5 ml) fennel seeds
4 oz (113 g) of provolone cheese, cubed


METHOD:
In a large Dutch oven or soup pot (you will need a large pot!) add crushed tomatoes, garlic, salt, pepper. Stir. Let simmer for 20-30mins. I know, but trust me, it's worth it! Those tomatoes will mellow and sweeten all the flavors marry ☺

Meanwhile, you can prepare the meatballs.

In a large bowl place the torn bread and pour the milk on top. Let it sit for 5 mins tin order for the bread to soak in the milk.

Then add the turkey, sausage, beef, eggs, parmesan cheese, parsley, pepper, salt, Italian Seasoning and fennel seeds.

Mix it up with your hands until all is well combined. Scoop out meat into an ice cream scoop. Press 1 cube of cheese into the center and cover with meat.

Place on a lightly greased cookie sheet. And bake at 400F degrees (200 C) until cooked through (about 20 mins)

While meatballs are cooking, you can boil the pasta in nicely salted water. (At least 1 tsp (5 ml) for 2 lbs (900 g) of pasta)

Add the fresh basil to the sauce. Once the meatballs are done place them into the sauce to keep warm and marry the flavors. Drain the pasta.

Portion out pasta into bowls, pour the sauce on top, serve with 2 meatballs and freshly grated parmesan on top.

This also goes very well with some homemade garlic bread!


BETH'S EASY GARLIC BREAD
1 Baguette
5 tbsp butter
1 garlic clove
salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp fresh Italian parsley, minced.


METHOD:
Place butter, garlic, salt, pepper in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for 30 seconds. The heat from the butter will warm the garlic and release its flavor. Add in the fresh parsley stir to combine.

Slice baguette in half, horizontally. Brush the insides with butter. Wrap in aluminum foil and place in the oven with the meatballs to warm white the meatballs are baking. That way they will be ready all at the same time. ☺

Buon Appetito!
