Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound spaghetti
1 pound extra-lean ground beef
1 teaspoon salt-free garlic and herb seasoning
Salt and pepper
2 (28-ounce) cans diced tomatoes
6-ounce can tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup torn fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Directions

Heat oil in a large stock pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Cook spaghetti according to package directions. In a large bowl, combine beef and garlic and herb seasoning, 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Mix well and shape mixture into meatballs (about 16 meatballs). Add meatballs and cook 5 minutes, until golden brown on all sides. Add tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, and red pepper flakes and bring to a simmer. Simmer 10 minutes, until meatballs are cooked through. Reserve 1 1/2 cups sauce for another meal. Remove from heat and stir in basil. Serve sauce over spaghetti. Top with Parmesan just before serving.

meatballs?
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I think the meatballs with just meat and a little seasoning were not good. If you are looking for a tasty spaghetti and... meatball recipe this isn't what you're looking for. And John (a few reviews down) admonishing everyone for not rating the recipe but rather rating the technique etc... You didn't rate this recipe either....you made alot of changes so you are not rating Robin's recipe, but you are rating your own. If you are going to tell the rest of us how to rate recipes on here then maybe you should learn how to yourself.Read more

I very plainly tells yhou to heat the oil, how to make the meatballs, and ad them to the pan of oil. My six year old could... follow that. Recipe is very good, not greasy like so many othe recipes.Read more

incomplete
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I have not tried this receipe but chances are I probably wount, it sounds tomatoe and the instructions are incomplete. There... is a portion of the instructions missing. Tells how to make the meat balls tnen go to add to but does not tell you what to add them too. The person who wrote these instructions needs to learn how to write complete instructions in steps so that a person can understand what they are doing and can easly follow themRead more

add loads of your own spices
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

haha im a huge fan of foodnetwork.com and was looking for a meatball recipe for a cheap spaghetti dinner. unfortunatly this... is not the one. i decided to read the reviews and make half the meatballs as instructed....they were indeed very tasteless. added ALOT of other different spices and they turned out a little better. i dont expect gourmet, but taste is always nice. oh well 1 bad recipe out of dozens isn't bad !

"Tasteless"
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

It sounds so easy to make--but is so "tasteless". What a disappointment! My first effort at cooking one of Robin's meals. I... doubt that I will try again. Read more
