spaghetti meatballs.





Another weekend recipe to make at home. Easy, delicious, but not quite healthy, haha. I made this for approximately 3 to 4 people.

All you need:
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 3/4 cup chopped onion
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 pack already made spaghetti sauce (yeah, too lazy)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 dried bay leaf
  • 2 cups beef stock
  • 1/2 package angel hair spaghetti pasta
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • salt and pepper
How to make:

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pan. Add garlic and onion and cook until lightly browned.
  2. Stir in spaghetti sauce, sugar, oregano, bay leaf, and add beef stock. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer while preparing meatballs.
  3. In a bowl, mix ground beef with thyme, salt, and pepper. Roll into 1 inch balls and then drop them into the sauce.
  4. Cook meatballs for 20-30 minutes in the sauce.
  5. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil and stir in the spaghetti. Cook 8 to 10 minutes and then drain.
  6. Serve the meatballs and sauce over the cooked angel hair spaghetti.
