Time 1h20m

Yield 4 meatballs per person for dipping with sauce.

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 pound spaghetti, broken into pieces
Salt
1/4 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted
1 large bunch parsley, leaves only
1 bunch basil, leaves only
2/3 to 3/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, a couple of handfuls
2 cloves garlic, grated or finely chopped
Freshly ground black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil, about 1/3 cup plus some for liberal drizzling
2 pounds ground sirloin
1 large egg
A couple handfuls bread crumbs
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 small carrot, finely chopped or grated
1 cup beef stock
1 (28-ounce) can tomatoes (recommended: San Marzano)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Bring a medium sauce pot of water to a boil over high heat, salt water and cook pasta to al dente 7 minutes or so, drain and quick-cool on a baking sheet.
  • While pasta cooks, toast pine nuts. Make a thick herb pesto by placing the herbs, cheese, garlic and nuts in food processor with salt and pepper. Turn processor on and stream in about 1/3 cup olive oil - make the pesto very thick.
  • Place meat in a bowl. Season the meat with salt and pepper. Add cooked pasta, egg, bread crumbs and half the pesto to the meat. Mix to combine and form into 16 balls, and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Let the spaghetti pop out of meatballs like porcupine quills. Coat balls with a little olive oil and roast 12 to 15 minutes until firm and golden in color. Remove from the oven and place on a serving platter.
  • While meat roasts heat a healthy drizzle olive oil in a sauce pot over medium-high heat. Add onions and carrots, season with salt and pepper, and saute for 5 minutes. Stir in the stock, add tomatoes and crush with the back of a wooden spoon. Cook for 5 minutes more, then stir in remaining pesto and transfer to a serving bowl or 4 individual ramekins for dipping.

Italian Tomato Sauce With Meatballs and Sausage image

My best Italian Sauce. I make big batches and freeze it in containers for those nights we want a quick meal. My son says there is no better smell then the smell of my sauce simmering on the stove. I allow them a quick taste by dipping with a slice of Italian Bread.

ITALIAN SPAGHETTI SAUCE WITH SAUSAGE AND MEATBALLS



Italian Spaghetti Sauce With Sausage and Meatballs image

This is one of my favorite recipes to make for friends when we have them over for dinner. Italian is casual, simple to make and inexpensive. Start this early in the day, let it simmer for a few hours and right before the guests arrive, boil your pasta, toast the garlic bread and toss up a Caesar salad...nothing else could be so simple. This recipe makes a full 6 quarts so it will feed an army. It freezes very well so I package the leftovers in containers for simple and delicious weekday meals.

  • Preheat oven to 400°F and bake meatballs from 20-40 minutes depending upon size.
  • Add meatballs to the sauce and let simmer for 3 hours;stir occasionally and skim the fat off the top so the sauce is not greasy when it is done.

Tips:

  • For the best meatballs, use a combination of ground pork and beef. The pork adds flavor and juiciness, while the beef helps to hold the meatballs together.
  • Don't overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing can make the meatballs tough.
  • Use a large skillet to brown the meatballs. This will help to prevent them from overcrowding and steaming.
  • Cook the meatballs over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning on the outside and staying raw on the inside.
  • Make sure the tomato sauce is simmering before adding the meatballs. This will help to prevent the meatballs from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Add the basil to the tomato sauce at the end of cooking. This will help to preserve its flavor.
  • Serve the spaghetti and meatballs with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.

This recipe for quick sausage meatballs with tomato and basil sauce, spaghetti and sweet raw peas is a delicious and easy-to-make meal.
