Spaghetti and Meatball recipe

For our first recipe, we're doing it simple....spaghetti and meatballs! Here is a list of our ingredients:

1 lb spaghetti

1 lb organic ground beef

1 shallot chopped

2 garlic cloves minced

1/2 cup panko bread crumbs

1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese

1/3 cup water

salt and pepper

Handful of chopped basil

extra virgin olive oil

1 Jar marinara sauce

For the spaghetti just boil til "al dente" in liberally salted water...usually about 7 minutes.

For the meatballs....

Pre heat broiler. Combine the meat, garlic, shallot, panko, parm cheese, basil, salt and pepper and mush together with your hands. Slowly add water until soft and mushy. Form meatballs and place on baking sheet. Cook in broiler until lightly browned on each side, turning over once (about 2-3 min. per side).

Meanwhile, simmer marinara sauce on medium low. Add lightly browned meatballs to marinara sauce and slow cook the meatballs for about 1/2 hour.

Put spaghetti noodles in large serving dish and coat with olive oil. Pour marinara sauce and meatballs over spaghetti. Top with parmesan cheese and enjoy!!! Daddy and Willem thoroughly enjoyed so this recipe is great for the whole family!
