Spaghetti with Meatballs

This is a dish that goes over very well in our house.

To save time I put the sauce, tomatoes, and meatballs in the slow cooker and let it cook on low for 5-6 hours. Otherwise, the meatballs would have to simmer in the sauce for 2-3 hours.

Serve with garlic toast and a salad.


8 oz spaghetti
1 can petite diced tomatoes
1 jar of spaghetti sauce


Meatball recipe

1 lbs of ground beef
1 garlic clove chopped
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 hand full of grated Romano cheese
1 hand full of bread crumbs**
1 to 2 eggs
1 Tbl oregano
1 Tbl sweet basil

Mix well with hands. Roll into balls about the size of golf balls and drop into sauce.

** I used Italian Bread Crumbs, it has seasoning in it, that way I did not have to use the oregano or basil.

Cooking Spaghetti

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente; drain.
