Spaghetti and Meatballs Rustic-Style

Here's another one that I'm pretty sure everybody knows how to make, but can be made a little fancier without much effort. I often forget to buy spaghetti sauce when Spaghetti and Meatballs is on the menu (Sad but true) and that was the case today. So I did a little improve:


What You'll Need:
Ground Meat
Garlic (minced or chopped in oil
Oregano
Parsley
Spaghetti
Tomatoes
Olive Oil and a splash of vinegar
Salt and Pepper
Parmasean Cheese

What to Do:

1. Makin' Meatballs: Everybody has a recipe for their own. There's a great one here, but mine is a little more simplistic for when you forget to buy ingredients (like tonight). Get a little mixing bowl -- throw in about 1/4 lb of ground meat, a tsp of garlic, a few shakes of dried parsley and oregano. Mix by hand, shape into little balls and bake at about 350 for 15 minutes.

2. Make spaghetti and drain.

3. Chop up some tomatoes. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan and add tomatoes and a teaspoon of garlic. Saute until soft. Add a tiny splash of vinegar.

4. Use tomato mixture to top your pasta, adding a little oil and salt and pepper if you'd like. Add a few meatballs and some shredded parm.
