How to Make T W A Meatballs For Spaghetti

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine all ingredients until just mixed. Overmixing will result in tough meatballs.
  3. Roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
  4. Place meatballs on a broiler pan.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until cooked through and browned.
  6. Alternatively, brown the meatballs in a large skillet over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, turning frequently.
  7. Add meatballs to your favorite spaghetti sauce (such as recipe #128830 TWA Spaghetti Sauce).
  8. Simmer over low heat for 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally, to allow flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
