Italian Meatball Pasta

Directions

1. Heat oven to 325ºF.

2. For the meatballs, mix the meat with the garlic in a large bowl. Add the breadcrumbs, cheese, egg, salt and Italian Meatball Seasoning; mix just until blended. 

3. Shape the meat mixture into 12 meatballs; place them in a parchment-covered rimmed baking sheet.  Bake for 12 minutes. (Meatballs will not be done.)  

4. Meanwhile, prepare the sauce.  Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat.  Add onions and garlic; cook for 5 minutes, while stirring frequently.  Add the tomato paste; cook and stir for 30 sec.  Add the tomatoes, Pasta Allrounder and salt; stir. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally; simmer over medium-low heat 10 min., stirring occasionally.

5. Add the meatballs; stir. Simmer for 20 minutes or until the meatballs are heated through and done, stirring occasionally.  Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in boiling water in a large saucepan until al dente.

6. Drain the spaghetti. Add to the sauce; toss to evenly coat spaghetti with sauce.

7. Tip: Serve topped with a sprinkling of additional freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
