Ingredients:

Serving

5 (14.5-oz) cans no salt-added whole tomatoes, undrained
1 tbsp olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 tsp crushed red pepper
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 bay leaves
1 (1-oz) slice white bread
1/3 cup (about 1 1/2 oz) grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 lb ground sirloin
2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 large egg white
cooking spray
remaining ingredients
1 lb uncooked spaghetti
1/3 cup (about 1 1/2 oz) grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese

Directions:

To prepare sauce, place half of the tomatoes in a food processor, and process until smooth. Pour pureed tomatoes into a large bowl. Repeat procedure with remaining tomatoes.
Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion; cook 4 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in pureed tomatoes, red pepper, salt, black pepper, and bay leaves; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Discard bay leaves. Keep warm.
To prepare meatballs, preheat oven to 400°. Place bread in a food processor; pulse 10 times or until coarse crumbs measure 1/2 cup. Combine breadcrumbs, 1/3 cup cheese, and the next 7 ingredients (cheese through egg white). Shape mixture into 24 (1-inch) meatballs, and place on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes or until done. Add meatballs to sauce; cook over low heat 15 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
Cook the pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain pasta; return to pot. Spoon about 2 cups tomato sauce (leaving meatballs in pan) into pasta, and toss well to coat. Transfer pasta mixture to a platter; top with remaining sauce and meatballs. Sprinkle with 1/3 cup cheese.
