REAL MEATBALLS AND SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Place the ground meats, both bread crumbs, parsley, Parmesan, salt, pepper, nutmeg, egg, and 3/4 cup warm water in a bowl. Combine very lightly with a fork. Using your hands, lightly form the mixture into 2-inch meatballs. You will have 14 to 16 meatballs.
• Pour equal amounts of vegetable oil and olive oil into a large (12-inch) skillet to a depth of 1/4-inch. Heat the oil. Very carefully, in batches, place the meatballs in the oil and brown them well on all sides over medium-low heat, turning carefully with a spatula or a fork. This should take about 10 minutes for each batch. Don't crowd the meatballs. Remove the meatballs to a plate covered with paper towels. Discard the oil but don't clean the pan.
• For the sauce, heat the olive oil in the same pan. Add the onion and saute over medium heat until translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add the wine and cook on high heat, scraping up all the brown bits in the pan, until almost all the liquid evaporates, about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, parsley, salt, and pepper.
• Return the meatballs to the sauce, cover, and simmer on the lowest heat for 25 to 30 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through. Serve hot on cooked spaghetti and pass the grated Parmesan.

MEATBALL PASTA BAKE (PASTA AL FORNO)

Steps:

• Mix the grated onion, 1 crushed garlic clove, mince, breadcrumbs, milk, parmesan and parsley in a large bowl. Season well with salt and pepper. Mash the mixture together with your hands until combined. Mould the mix into small balls (about walnut-sized) with damp hands. There will be about 20 meatballs.
• Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a deep frying pan and fry the meatballs for 6-8 mins until golden brown all over. Fry in batches if you need to - they don't need to be cooked through, just browned on the outside. Set aside on a plate.
• Heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in the pan and fry the chopped onion for 5 mins until softened. Add the remaining garlic, fry for another minute, then add the chopped tomatoes and simmer for 10 mins until thickened and the tomatoes have broken down. Season well with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, cook the pasta for 5 mins less than the pack instructions state, in boiling salted water. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
• Stir the meatballs into the tomato sauce, adding a splash of water if too thick, and bring to a simmer. Drain the pasta and tip into an ovenproof dish. Pour over the sauce and meatballs and mix well. Stir in most of the mozzarella, then scatter the remaining over the top. Bake for 15-20 mins until the cheese is golden and bubbling, and the top is slightly crisp.

ALL DAY SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Mix all meatball ingredients, roll in to balls and brown in skillet. Cool and refrigerate until 1 hour prior to serving. Olive oil may be needed to brown these if using very lean beef.
• In the skillet, add chopped onions and cook until tender but not soft.
• Add garlic and can of tomatoes. If using whole tomatoes, I mash them briefly in the skillet with a potato masher.
• Cook until mixture comes to a boil.
• Put in to a large dutch oven or sauce pan.
• Add remaining ingredients except for baking soda, parmesan cheese, olive oil, salt and pepper.
• Bring to a quick boil and immediately reduce the heat to medium low as this sauce will burn.
• Add a pinch of baking soda, stir well and allow to simmer uncovered for 2 hours.
• Taste the sauce for acidity. If acid level (or tang) is still high, add another pinch of baking soda and stir well. At this point do not taste the sauce as all you will taste is baking soda.
• Cook two more hours.
• Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. If needed, add a small amount of olive oil.
• Eventually, you will start seeing the sauce getting darker around the edges of the pan. At this point you can season with salt and pepper and add the cooked meatballs.
• Cook one additional hour.
• One half hour prior to serving, stir in the parmesan cheese. This will thicken the sauce quickly.
• This sauce is best served the next day.
