Directions: |
Directions:Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium to medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until soft and translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper. Cook, stirring, for one minute. Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and tomato paste. Season the sauce with the basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Lower heat if sauce is sticking. Place the remaining ingredients, except spaghetti, in a large mixing bowl. Mix together until just combined. Form meatballs by rolling meat mixture into one tablespoon-sized balls. Place meatballs on a tray lined with foil as they are formed. Place the meatballs into the simmering sauce one at a time. Allow the sauce to return to a simmer, and cook, partially covered. Let the meatballs rest undisturbed for 25 minutes before stirring. When the meatballs rise to the top, stir gently. Simmer, partially covered, for an additional hour. Stir occasionally to prevent sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Remove the sauce from the heat and serve over cooked spaghetti. Serves eight. |
