Directions:
Mix up well the meats. In a small separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs and add the garlic powder, parsley cheese and black pepper. Add the egg mixture to the meat and begin mixing. Part way through begin mixing the bread crumbs to desired consistency (keep it moist but will hold round shape) Roll to about 1 1/2 balls. Should make about 60 meatballs. Bake in 350º oven for about 20 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

For the sauce, saute olive oil and fresh crushed garlic just a few minutes. Add the cans of sauce and puree, water, agave, pepper, basil & cheese. Cover and begin to simmer while meatballs bake and drain.

Add the cooked and drained meatballs to the sauce pot and finish simmering up to 45 minutes. Serve over spaghetti cook al dente. Be sure to season pasta water with salt but do not over salt it. Use the pasta water with the sauce to lightly coat the spaghetti. Serve with extra sauce, meatballs and crusty bread and butter on the side.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
1 1/2 boxes spaghetti will make 4-6 servings and leave plenty of meatballs for sandwiches and freezing for a second meal.

Comfort food at it's best!
