Spaghetti with Meatballs Recipe Directions:
Steep the bread in milk or broth to cover for 5 minutes, and then squeeze the excess liquid from the bread (the crumb should be moist but not dripping).
Sauté the minced onion until golden in a tablespoon of the butter.
Put the ground meat in a mixing bowl, crumble the bread over it, and add the remaining ingredients except the butter. Mix well and shape the mixture into balls about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
Preheat your oven to 350 F (175 C).
Heat the remaining butter in an ovenproof pot and gently brown the meatballs on all sides.
Bring the marinara sauce to a simmer. Add enough marinara sauce to cover the meatballs a little more than half way, cover the pot, and bake them for a half hour.
Cook your spaghetti. Drain the pasta, season it with the sauce. Serve with grated cheese.
