Ingredients

Meatballs:

2 eggs

1/2 cup milk

3 slices bread, crumbled

1 pound lean ground beef

1 pound ground sausage

1/2 cup finely chopped onion

2 tablespoons chopped parsley

2 cloves garlic, smashed, minced

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

Sauce:

3 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 cup chopped sweet onion

3 cloves garlic, smashed and minced

1 tablespoon sugar

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon dried leaf oregano

1/2 teaspoon dried leaf basil

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 large can (28 to 36 ounces total) crushed Italian tomatoes

2 cans (6 ounces each) tomato paste

16 ounces thin spaghetti

Fresh Grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Meatballs. In a medium bowl, beat eggs lightly; add milk and bread and let stand for about 5 minutes. Add ground beef, sausage, onion, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper; mix gently until well blended.

Shape into about 24 meatballs, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Place meatballs in a generously greased large shallow baking pan. Bake meatballs at 450° for 25 minutes.

In a Dutch oven, in hot oil over medium heat, sauté onion until tender and just begins to turn golden. Add remaining sauce ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, if necessary. Add meatballs; cover and simmer 50 to 60 minutes longer, stirring from time to time.

Cook spaghetti according to package directions; drain.

Serve spaghetti topped with meatballs in sauce; sprinkle with fresh grated Parmesan cheese.

I made these meatballs for my in-laws a couple of weeks ago and everyone went crazy over them. These are the tenderest meatballs I have ever tasted. This recipe has received my highest honour, a place in my “tried and loved” folder.
