Ingredients:

Serving

24 g (2 slices) bread , crusts discarded , torn into small pieces
1/2 cup lowfat buttermilk
8 oz cooked sweet italian sausage , casings removed, net from 1 lb fresh
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
28 oz crushed tomatoes
14 1/2 oz diced tomatoes
1 tbsp minced fresh basil
1 salt and pepper to taste
1 lb dry spaghetti

Directions:

Bring 4 quarts of water to boil in large pot. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 475 degrees. Line baking sheet with foil.
Soak bread in buttermilk in bowl for 5 minutes. Using fork, mash until smooth. Mix in sausage and egg until combined. Form mixture into 1 1/2 -inch meatballs and place on baking sheet. Spray meatballs with cooking spray. Bake until deeply browned, 17 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat oil and garlic in large skillet over medium heat until garlic is golden, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, increase heat to medium-high, and simmer until sauce thickens, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in basil and salt and pepper to taste. Toss in meatballs.
Add 1 tablespoon salt and pasta to boiling water. Cook pasta until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup cooking water, drain pasta, and return pasta to pot along with reserved water. Ladle some tomato sauce (without meatballs) over spaghetti and toss well. Divide pasta among bowls and top with more sauce and meatballs. Serve, passing Parmesan at table.
