Directions: |
Directions:For meatballs: Soak bread in water for 2 or 3 minutes, and then squeeze out the moisture with your hands. Combine the soaked bread with the remaining ingredients (except the olive oil) and mix well. Form this into small balls (around 2 inches across). Heat olive oil in a skillet and brown the meatballs in this hot oil, turning frequently to cook evenly and keep the balls round. Add to spaghetti sauce and cook for 30 minutes. For sauce: Cook onion and garlic in oil until tender but not browned. Add the remaining ingredients. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, chopping up the tomato chunks as needed. Add the cooked meatballs and continue simmering for 30 minutes more. Serve over cooked spaghetti. |
