Spaghetti Meatballs

Recipe Ingredients

1 pound spaghetti
Marinara sauce
2.5 cm slice of bread
Milk or broth
1 ½ pounds ground meat (beef or pork)
2 beaten eggs
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup minced onion
1 chopped garlic clove
3 tablespoons minced parsley
1 ¼ teaspoons salt
1/4 cup freshly grated parmigiano
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1 seeded and shredded hot pepper
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Pepper

Recipe Preparation

Put the bread in the broth or milk and cover it for around 5 minutes. Then squeeze the extra liquid so that the bread remains moist. Take a tablespoon of butter in a pan and sauté the onion in it till it turns golden.
In a mixing bowl put together the bread after crumbling it and add the rest of the ingredients except for the butter. Mix the ingredients well and shape it into balls of around 1 to 1 ½ inches.
Now preheat the oven to a temperature of around 350° F.
In an ovenproof pot melt the rest of the butter and add the meatballs so that they are browned gently on all the sides. Take the marinara sauce in a pan and bring it to a simmer and once that is done cover the meatballs with the marinara sauce. Now cover the pot and let it bake for a period of around half hour.
While the meatballs are cooking boil and cook the spaghetti and once that is done drain it and season it with the sauce. Add grated cheese and serve.
