Steps:
- Bring a big pot of salted water to a boil for the spaghetti. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and parsley and cook until the vegetables are soft but still translucent, about 10 minutes. Take the pan off the heat and let cool.
- Pour enough milk over the bread in a bowl to moisten and let it soak while the onions are cooling. Combine the meats in a large bowl. Add the egg and Parmigiano and season generously with salt and pepper. Use your hands to squeeze the excess milk out of the bread and add that to the bowl along with the cooled onion mixture. (Hang onto the pan - you'll need it to cook the meatballs.) Gently combine all the ingredients with your hands or with a spoon until just mixed together. Don't overwork or the meatballs will be tough. Divide into 10 equal pieces and shape them into 10 nice looking meatballs.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Heat a 3-count of oil in the frying pan over medium heat and brown the meatballs on all sides, about 10 minutes. Put them into a baking dish and spoon about half of the tomato sauce over. Shower with the mozzarella and drizzle with olive oil. Put the meatballs in the oven and bake until the meatballs are cooked through, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in the boiling water until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain and put it onto a large serving platter. Pour on the rest of the sauce and mix well. Spoon the meatballs on top of the spaghetti and garnish with basil leaves. Serve immediately along with extra cheese.
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until the vegetables are soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Carefully add the tomatoes (nothing splashes like tomatoes) and about 1/2 cup of the reserved liquid and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the sauce is thick, about 15 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, stirring for a few minutes with a wooden spoon to further break up the tomatoes. Reduce the heat and let simmer for 20 to 25 minutes. Stir in the fresh basil and season again.

Tips:
- Use the right kind of tomatoes: Plum tomatoes, also called Roma tomatoes, are the best choice for this sauce. They have a thick, meaty texture and low water content, which results in a rich, flavorful sauce.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When browning the meatballs, don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause them to steam instead of brown.
- Simmer the sauce: After adding all the ingredients to the sauce, bring it to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low. Simmering the sauce for at least 30 minutes will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme, will add a lot of flavor to the sauce. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use about half the amount.
- Serve over your favorite pasta: This sauce is great served over any type of pasta, but it's especially good with spaghetti, penne, or rigatoni.
Conclusion:
This Janson's Spaghetti Sauce and Meatballs recipe is a classic for a reason. It's simple to make, yet packed with flavor. The meatballs are tender and juicy, and the sauce is rich and flavorful. Whether you're serving it over spaghetti, penne, or rigatoni, this dish is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give this recipe a try.
