meatballs
2 eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
3 slices fresh french bread made into crumbs in food processor or blender
2 lb ground beef
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 tbsp chopped parsley
1 clove garlic , smashed, minced
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp freshly cracked pepper
sauce
3 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic , smashed and minced
1 tube double concentrated tomato paste

2 tsp kosher salt
2 tsp dried leaf oregano
2 tsp dried leaf basil
freshly cracked black pepper to taste
1 large can (28 to 36 oz total) crushed italian tomatoes (i like
16 oz thin spaghetti
parmesan cheese , fresh parsley

Directions:

Make meatballs: In a medium bowl, beat eggs lightly; add milk and bread and let stand for about 5 minutes. Add ground beef, onion, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper; mix gently until well blended. Shape into about 24 meatballs, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Place meatballs in a generously greased large shallow baking pan. Bake meatballs at 450° for 25 minutes.
In a Dutch oven, in hot oil over medium heat, sauté the onion until tender and just begins to turn golden. Add remaining sauce ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, if necessary. Add meatballs, along with juices from pan; cover and simmer 50 to 60 minutes longer, stirring from time to time.
Cook spaghetti according to package directions; drain and toss in a little butter and parmesan cheese for flavor.
Serve spaghetti topped with meatballs in sauce; sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and minced parsley.
