Spaghetti and Meatballs

My little girl loved helping with this one. It can get messy with kids helping but it is so much fun. Remember to keep hands of little ones washed after handling raw meat.

Meatball Ingredients:
2 pound of ground beef or turkey
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 eggs
1 cup grated Romano and parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups seasoned bread crumbs ( Italian bread can be staled and crumbled)
1 cup of milk

Use a large bowl. Add all meatball ingredients in a large bowl and work together with your hands. Blend well. You can make small or large meatballs. Roll a small amount of meat in your palm until it forms a ball.

Coat a large skillet with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Place meatballs gently in pan. Brown meatballs for 10-15 minutes. Turn continually so all edges are brown.

Place your favorite prepared spaghetti sauce in a larger pot. Add browned meatballs. Bring to a bubble and simmer for 15 minutes. Check meatballs temperature or center to make sure they are cooked through.

Sauce with meatballs is now ready to go over your cooked pasta.
Serve with warm bread and Caesar salad.
