KELLY'S SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS

Steps:

• 1. In a medium bowl mix the meat, bread crumbs, cheese, eggs, milk, parsley and seasoning. Stir until combined. If it is too wet add a bit more crumbs and cheese. Roll into small to medium sized meatballs.
• 2. Heat a large pan on medium-high heat and coat bottom well with olive oil. While heating start your pot of water for the pasta. Cook meatballs 3 minutes per side, do not move once they are in the pan they will form a good crust. Make sure they are done all around. Do in batches if you have a lot. Meanwhile, cook pasta to directions or your preference.
• 3. Remove the meatballs from the pan. Drain noodles and add back to the hot pot, and turn to low or simmer. Toss in your favorite sauce, if too dry add a bit of the olive oil from the meatballs. This adds tons of home cooked flavor. Gently toss in your meatballs. Enjoy and top with more cheese for serving.
