Preparation

Step 1

In bowl, combine all ingredients except pasta sauce and spaghetti; mix well.

Form mixture into 12 meatballs then brown meatballs in large pot over medium-high heat.

Add pasta sauce, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 30 minutes, or until meatballs are no longer pink.

While meatballs finish cooking, cook spaghetti according to package directions; drain and serve meatballs and sauce over spaghetti.

Note:
If you prefer your spaghetti and meatballs on the saucy side, use two jars of sauce.
