Garlic Basil Spaghetti and Meatballs

These Garlic and Basil Meatballs and Spaghetti are so flavorful you can use them on subs too
If you will remember my New Years Post when we made Baked Fontina we also had homemade pasta and meatballs.
This week I made my own batch of my friend Julies meatballs and sauce. Unfortunately hubby was crazy busy with work so no fresh pasta this time.These Garlic and Basil Meatballs and Spaghetti are so flavorful you can use them on subs too 

 
First you want to take 1 large Onion and 5-6 good sized garlic cloves and dice them up. Put them in a pot with Olive oil and saute till soft, not brown or burnt. Take 1/2 out and put it in a bowl. Next chop up your herbs Basil, Oregano and Italian Parsley (Fresh is best)divide them in 1/2 throw 1 part in the bowl with the onion/Garlic mixture. Add in 1-2 lbs ground beef or whatever ground meat you like and add an egg, 1 1/2-2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce and 1/2 to 1 cup bread crumbs. You can then season to your taste with Montreal Steak Seasoning or S&P.
 
Put your hands in there and mix it all together and then roll into balls the size you would like mine were about the size of a ping pong ball, then put them on a cookie sheet, I line mine with foil for eisier clean up and because they are old and look yucky. Put these in a 350 Degree oven for 30 minutes. These Garlic and Basil Meatballs and Spaghetti are so flavorful you can use them on subs too 
 
 
Now in your pot you should have 1/2 of your garlic and onions, to that add 2 large cans of Heinz Tomato sauce, I also added a can of petite diced tomatoes and put in the other 1/2 of your herbs. Put in a lot of basil but there is no real measurement here. I put this picture in so you could see the approximate amounts I used.

I served it with whole wheat linguine. I mixed the leftover sauce and pasta together and put it in a container in my fridge this keeps the pasta from drying out and you can eat on it for a few days.

 
 
 
I can’t begin to tell you how good this is you must try it!
