SPAGHETTI AND JUICY LUCY MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat.
• For the sauce: Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic, dried oregano and crushed red pepper and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add both types of canned tomatoes and 1 cup of water from the pasta pot. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer until thickened and flavorful, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Once the meatballs are browned and the sauce has thickened, nestle the meatballs into the sauce and spoon a little of the sauce over each meatball. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, cover and simmer while the pasta cooks, about 10 minutes.
• Add the spaghetti to the boiling water and cook until al dente. Drain the spaghetti and place on a platter. Spoon some sauce onto the spaghetti and toss to coat. Nestle the cooked meatballs into the noodles. Top with desired amount of sauce, a drizzle of olive oil, the fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese, for serving.

Add the eggs, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, onion, parsley and garlic in a large bowl and mix well with your hands to combine. Divide into 8 equal balls. Use your thumb to hollow out the center of a ball so it resembles a bowl. Stick a mozzarella ball inside and press to seal the mozzarella inside the meat mixture. Roll into a ball and place on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining meat mixture and mozzarella.
• Bake until the meatballs are well browned, 18 to 22 minutes. (They will cook more in the sauce).

CHEESE STUFFED MEATBALLS AND SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Hand mix first 7 ingredients together and form into golfball size balls. Flatten a little bit with your palm, and form meat ball around 1 of the mozzarella pearls.
• Here's where you have 2 options to cook them: 1. Drop them straight into your simmering marinara sauce and let them go for 30-40 minutes. 2. OR -- Pan fry them in a little oil to brown on all sides then drop into the sauce. I use veggie oil (enough to coat the bottom of the pan) on med-high heat. Takes about 3-4 min to brown on all sides. Then drop them into the sauce and let them go for ~30 minute.
• Serve with spaghetti!
• For my marinara sauce:.
• Saute onion, carrot, celery, salt and pepper in olive oil and butter for 8-10 minutes on medium heat until onions are translucent and other veggies are soft. (*All the veggies will be blended later so you don't have to shop them really small). Stir regularly to keep from burning. Add garlic and saute for an extra minute or two (until you can smell it).
• Add red wine. Let simmer until it reduces by about half (4-5 minutes tops).
• Add tomatoes. I crush the tomatoes a bit when I put them in (either by hand or with a wooden spoon). Add one can water. Let simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Use a hand blender (if you've got it) to puree the sauce directly in the pot. If you just have a blender, then transfer it in batches to blend until its smooth.
• Add seasoning (salt and pepper to taste). Also throw in a couple extra pats of butter. It really pulls everything together. Taste it. If its too acidic, add a couple teaspoons of sugar.
• Let simmer for an hour or two more if you have time. If you don't have time, at this point you can throw your meatballs inches When you simmer it (with or without meatballs), cover is mostly with a lid, but leave the lid cracked so steam can get out.
