Ingredients

    Best Choice Clearly Organic Whole Wheat Spaghetti, 8 oz
    Pepper, red or cayenne, .25 tbsp
    Salt, 1 tbsp
    Oregano, ground, 1 tbsp
    Basil, 2 tbsp
    Parsley, dried, 15.84 tbsp
    Onions, raw, 1 small
    Egg, fresh, 1 large
    Parmesan Cheese, grated, .50 cup
    *Shady Brook Lean Ground Turkey, 150 gram(s)
    Ground Pork, 150 grams
    Veal, ground, 150 grams
    White Bread, 2 slice
    Classico Cabernet Marinara Sauce, 3 cup
    Water, tap, 1 cup (8 fl oz)

Directions

1. Heat marinara sauce in a large, wide pot over medium heat. Cover to prevent splattering.
2. Remove crusts from bread, place bread in a medium bowl and pour water over. Let sit 10 minutes, and gently squeeze out excess liquid. Put bread in a large bowl; discard water.
3. Add all the ground meats, cheese, egg, onion, parsley, basil, oregano, salt and red pepper flakes to bowl with bread. Gently toss to combine, maintaining a light touch to keep air in the meatballs (don't squish the meat too much, or you'll end up with tough meatballs). Roll the meat mixture in your hands to create meatballs slightly larger than a golf ball
4. Remove marinara sauce from heat to prevent splattering, and gently drop the meatballs in the warm sauce. Return tomato sauce to medium-low heat, bring to a simmer and cook, covered, until meatballs have cooked through, about 30 minutes.
5. Cook pasta according to package directions, toss with marinara sauce and top with meatballs.

Make your own marinara: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and saute 2 cloves minced garlic until lightly golden. Add 32 ounces of canned, peeled, crushed plum tomatoes and simmer for 10 minutes. Add meatballs and 2 tablespoons of torn fresh basil leaves, and season with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook for 30 minutes
