The Recipes Thread: Spaghetti and Meatballs

Spaghetti and Meatballs

The following recipe is one I like to use:

Ingredients:
Pasta (8oz)
Cinnamon (1/2 tsp)
Ground Beef (1/2lb)
Bread Crumbs (1/4 cup)
Parmesan Cheese (1/4 cup grated)
Onion (1/4 cup chopped)
Milk (1/8 cup)
Egg
Garlic Powder (1 tsp)
Ground Pepper (1/4 tsp)
Pasta Sauce (1 jar)


Equipment:
6 quart pot
2 large pots
cookie sheet
Colander
Large Bowl

1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2) Combine bread crumbs, cinnamon, parmesan, onion, milk, beef, garlic, egg and pepper in a large bowl. Roll into meatballs (you pick the size, I think smaller is better - in this case). Place meatballs onto baking sheet.

3) Bake about 15 minutes or until well done.

While the meatballs are baking, you can start the sauce and pasta.

PASTA:
1) Boil 4 quarts of water in the huge ass pot.

2) Add salt to taste.

3) Boil uncovered, stirring occasionally for 10 minutes. Pasta is done when you throw a piece of spaghetti onto the wall and it sticks.

4) Drain pasta in Colander.

5) Place into one of the smaller pots.

SAUCE:
1) Heat pasta sauce in other pot. Add meatballs and keep simmering until heated throughout.

Eat (preferably with salad, garlic bread & wine)
