Photo: Spaghetti and Meatballs Recipe
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.

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.

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.
