Classic Spaghetti & Meatballs

Tomato Sauce

1. Heat olive oil in a sauce pan over medium heat. Add your garlic and sauté until fragrant, then add basil and stir to wilt it.
2. Add in your tomatoes, either crushed or blended, and the sugar/honey.
3. Bring to a boil then let simmer anywhere from 30 minutes to all day!

Meatballs

1. If you made the sauce ahead of time, bring to a simmer on the stove.
2. Combine all ingredients together, I used my hands (just add some olive oil to them before you go for it to prevent sticking)!
3. Form the meat mixture into balls. I used about 3-4 tablespoons of meat at a time, but it all depends on what size you like your meatballs to be.
4. Add meatballs to a large skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil (enough to coat the pan). Cook the meatballs until they are browned on all sides (but not cooked all the way through) then add to your sauce.
5. Let simmer for about 30 minutes, adding water if needed. Once the meatballs are cooked through, taste the sauce and add more spices if necessary.
6. Serve with spaghetti and enjoy!!
