With adding a little umpf & spice to meatballs, spaghetti can turn from blah to yum.
I used my tomato sauce, and parsley from our garden. But of course good sauce & fresh parsley are found at any grocery store worth their salt.
Ingredients:
1 lb ground pork
1 onion, chopped
1 egg
1 piece of toast, chopped finely
1 T paprika
1/2 t hot pepper flakes
1 bunch parsley
S&P
1 bag spaghetti
2 c tomato sauce (or 1 jar tomato sauce)
Instructions:
First, turn on the oven to 350 degrees. Start a pot of water boiling on the stove. Then start making your meatballs. Put the ground pork in a bowl, and add the chopped onion, egg, breadcrumbs, most of the chopped parsley, and spices. Mix together, and form into small 1″ meatballs on a cookie sheet. Cook for 20 minutes, or until golden.
While the meatballs are cooking, heat your sauce in a small sauce pan. About 10 minutes before your meatballs are done, start cooking your pasta.
Add them all together, and garnish with the remaining parsley. Buon Appetito!
