A recipe from a National Supermarket chain as part of feed your family (based on 4 serves) dinner for $10 or less (that is aussie dollars and based on local prices for produce or chain specials at time of publication. Times are estimated. Though recipes recommends 500 grams of spaghetti I would only use about 350 grams for us and serve with a side salad of greens, tomatoes etc.

This was a very quick and easy spaghetti dish!! I finely chopped the onion and added 1/2 of it to the meatball mixture for added flavor and moisture. I then fried them, once they were browned I pushed them to the sides of the pan and added the rest of the onion along with a bit more oil, in the directions it said to "saute the onions and garlic" but there wasn't any garlic listed in the ingredients, so I added a teaspoon minced garlic. I then added the tomatoes and let it simmer for a bit and then tasted it, at this point this was still to watery and thin for our tastes and needed spiced up. I then added a small can tomato paste and some oregano and basil. This worked perfectly with our spaghetti!! Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for your win in the Games Summer Spectacular!!

There is nothing like a great recipe of spaghetti & meatballs to bring the ol' homestead to it's knees. A very simple, but very tasty dish of goodness right here. I followed this exactly using chopped fresh parsley, and diced fresh tomatoes. As suggested~ I baked my meatballs for 20 minutes and them gently put them in the sauce to cook another 30 minutes. Served with Mixed Greens With Pears and Raspberries and Go-Go Garlic Bread. A very special taste and so yummy! Made for Flower Power June 2009.
