Tuscan meatballs with spaghetti step by step
- Boil water for spaghetti, drop in desired amount and follow packet instructions..
- Mix beef with egg, crumbs and salt to taste in a bowl. Once all combined roll into small balls, best way to roll them is keep a bowl of cold water on the side so you can add a little water to you’re palm so the meat won’t stick to you..
- Put a tablespoon of oil in the pot/pan and start adding meatballs, don’t overcrowd as they will not cook evenly. I like to leave mine a little raw in the middle so when the sauce is added they will cook further but come out tender and not dry..
- Once meatballs are browned, add recipe base and can of tomatoes - more salt will be needed. Simmer for 5-10mins then mix in with drained cooked spaghetti. Then serve. Enjoy! ☺️.
Add the meatballs and heat through. Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in boiling salted water following the package directions. Serve the spaghetti with the sauce and meatballs and provide extra Parmesan cheese at the table. Nothing says comfort food to me more than a plate of the Italian Classic, Spaghetti and Meatballs. I never get tired of this delicious dish and making a batch of sauce and meatballs ahead of time is a great way to make sure you have dinner in the freezer whenever you need it.
