QUICK AND EASY MEATBALLS
Super, simple meatballs that are great alone or in spaghetti. Using lean ground beef will reduce the fat content, but the taste and texture just aren't quite the same.

FAVORITE QUICK & EASY SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS
I've been enjoying spaghetti all my life! Been to Italy, and have tried numerous versions all around the globe including this one which remains my all-time favorite (perfected over the years by yours truly!). Hope you enjoy, too. Notes: I like to keep a bag of meatballs (see my Frankies Spuntino New York - Italian Meatballs recipe #452689) on hand in the freezer, for ease of prep. You can use your favorite fresh or frozen prepared meatballs, -or- crumbled & browned ground beef is also fine. Just add a tossed green salad and garlic bread (see recipe #109257), and a nice bottle of red wine to round out the meal. Salut! Tip: I use a jar of Classico Italian Sausage & Peppers Pasta Sauce, and whole wheat spaghetti noodles (De Cecco), but your favorite pasta sauce and regular spaghetti noodles is fine.

Tips for Making Perfect Meatballs:
- Use a combination of ground beef and ground pork for a juicy and flavorful meatball.
- Season the meatball mixture generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.
- Add bread crumbs or panko breadcrumbs to the meatball mixture to help bind the ingredients together and create a tender texture.
- Use an egg to help bind the meatball mixture together and keep the meatballs moist.
- Gently mix the meatball mixture by hand until just combined. Overmixing can make the meatballs tough.
- Form the meatball mixture into 1-inch balls. Use a small cookie scoop to make uniform meatballs.
- Brown the meatballs in a skillet over medium heat until they are golden brown on all sides.
- Simmer the meatballs in a flavorful sauce for at least 30 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
- Serve the meatballs with your favorite pasta, rice, or vegetables.
