- In a covered 5- to 6-qt pan over high heat, bring 2 1/2 to 3 qts water to a boil.
- In a bowl, mix beef, 1/2 c. onions, egg white, bread crumbs, 1/2 Tbsp. garlic, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Shape mix into 12 equal balls (about 1 3/4-inch each).
- Place meatballs in a single layer, without crowding, in an 11- to 12-inch nonstick frying pan over high heat; turn as needed to brown on all sides, about 5 min total per batch. As meatballs are browned, transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.
- Add in remaining 1 1/2 c. onions and 1/2 Tbsp. garlic to frying pan; stir often till onions begin to brown, about 5 min. Add in tomato puree, wine, broth, basil, and sugar; stir till boiling.
- Add in browned meatballs to sauce; when sauce boils, cover, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, till meatballs are no longer pink in the center (cut to test), 8 to 10 min.
- Meanwhile, add in spaghetti to boiling water and cook till barely tender to bite, 7 to 9 min; drain well.
- Mound spaghetti in a wide bowl. Pour meatballs and sauce over pasta. Sprinkle with 1/4 c. cheese and parsley; serve with salt, pepper, and additional cheese to add in to taste.
- This recipe yields 4 servings.
- Comments: If you like, omit red wine in sauce and add in 1/3 c. more beef broth in step 4. Serve meatballs and spaghetti with a crisp green salad.
