MEATBALLS: Spices: I say your choice because spices are personal!
-
2
Choose your favorites and dump them in, or just use an Italian spice mix, or a pre-mixed one.
-
3
Combine all ingredients for the meatballs in a large bowl with your hands, mashing together thoroughly.
-
4
Let marinate in the fridge for 1/2 hour.
-
5
(You can skip this if youre in a hurrytheyll still taste super yummy.)
-
6
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 C).
-
7
Shape into about 1-inch round balls.
-
8
Place on pans lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.
-
9
(You can pull one apart to be sure.)
-
10
Remove from pans to paper towel-lined plates to absorb any grease.
-
11
SAUCE: Once you stick the meatballs in the oven, lets get the sauce started.
-
12
Heat a large pot (it will need to fit all the meatballs and sauce) on medium high heat.
-
13
Add butter.
-
14
Chop onion and add to the pot.
-
15
Let cook for 3-5 minutes.
-
16
Then add all of your tomato paste and water to desired consistency.
-
17
Right before the meatballs are done, start a pot of water boiling and add your thick noodles.
-
18
Cook for the allotted amount of time.
-
19
Keep simmering the sauce until meatballs come out of the oven.
-
20
You can then add the meatballs to the sauce.
-
21
Simmer for another 5 minutes.
-
22
Strain your noodles and add the butter to keep them from sticking together.
-
23
Serve with crusty bread or my pepperoni bread (from my recipe box)!
-
24
But watch out: the sauce is addictive and combined with the meatballs, its hard to stop eating them!

Enjoy!
