FOR THE SAUCE

Olive oil, two tablespoons’ worth
one sweet onion, chopped, medium in size

A teaspoon and a half of Italian seasoning
One-half teaspoon of fennel seeds
Crushed red pepper flakes, one-fourth of a teaspoon
Half a cup of dry red wine
One can of crushed tomatoes, 28 ounces in size
1 can of miniature chopped tomatoes, 15 ounces in size
One milligram of sugar
One-half cup of fresh basil leaves (chopped)
1 kilogram of spaghetti

INSTRUCTIONS:

Put the oven on to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with foil and coating it with nonstick spray or lightly oiling it.
Combine the Parmesan, Panko, parsley, milk, egg, shallot, and garlic in a large bowl. Season with one teaspoon of salt and half a teaspoon of pepper. For ten minutes, let it stand.
Add the ground beef and ground pork, tossing them together until they are thoroughly blended, using a wooden spoon or your clean hands.

The mixture should be rolled into meatballs measuring between 1 and 1 1/2 inches in diameter, resulting in approximately 36 meatballs.
The meatballs should be placed in a single layer on the baking sheet that has been prepared. Place in the oven and bake for approximately 12 to 15 minutes, or until browned; proceed to set aside.
In a large Dutch oven or stockpot, bring the olive oil to a gentle simmer over medium heat. To make the onion translucent, add it and cook it for around two to three minutes while stirring it constantly. Garlic,
Italian seasoning, fennel seeds, and crushed red pepper flakes should be stirred in for around one minute until the aroma is released.
It is important to scrape any browned bits from the bott

om of the pot before adding the wine.
After stirring in the sugar and tomatoes, season the mixture to taste with salt and pepper. Turn the heat down to low and continue to simmer until the sauce has thickened, which should take around twenty minutes.
Mix in the meatballs, then cover and continue to boil for around half an hour, or until the flavors have merged together. Add basil, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine herbs.
Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of salted water that is boiling, following the instructions on the package; then drain it thoroughly.
This dish should be served immediately, with meatballs and sauce on top.

How To Make Spaghetti And Meatballs:

First, the secret to juicy meatballs! Put the white bread pieces in a large basin after tearing them. Pour milk over the bread and soak for 10 minutes. Be patient—the bread needs time to absorb the milk. Well worth it!

After the bread is mushy, add the remaining meatball ingredients to the large bowl. Mix everything with your hands until well blended. Shape the beef mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs. Make them about the same size to cook evenly.
“Cook The Meatballs” showcases the process of making spaghetti and meatballs.

After forming the meatballs, fry them. You may need to batch this step. Start by heating olive oil in a large skillet on medium.
Add as many meatballs as will fit in your skillet without overcrowding it and cook for 10–15 minutes until golden and done. Remember to turn them often to keep their form and cook evenly.
They will be firm and have clear juice when poked with a knife when done.
Clean Skillet if necessary.
Remove the cooked meatballs to a platter and set aside. Remove all skillet oil except one tablespoon. Extra oil in the pan will make the sauce overly greasy.
Make The Sauce Videos of making spaghetti and meatballs.

Start the sauce with one tablespoon of meatball fat in the skillet. Cook the chopped onion and minced garlic in the skillet for 3–5 minutes until transparent.
