Directions:Prepare the meatballs. Preheat the oven to 350º. 1. Using clean hands, combine the meatloaf mix, garlic, and oregano. Divide the mix into 12 portions and shape into meatballs. Arrange the meatballs in a lightly greased baking dish large enough to hold them without touching. Bake for 25 minutes, until cooked through. 2. Prepare the spaghetti sauce; Combine the tomato paste, garlic and 1 tsp salt in a large sauce pan over medium high heat and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the paste has darkened. Add the tomatoes and broth, bring to a simmer and simmer over medium low heat for 10 minutes. 3. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the remaining 2 tsp salt. Add the pasta and cook until al dente. Drain; DO NOT rinse. Transfer to a large bowl. 4. Immediately toss the pasta with the olive oil and butter. Mix in the parsley. Fold in the Parmesan. Add the tomato sauce, stir and serve the pasta with the meatballs. |
