- Cut onions in half and then slice. Mince garlic cloves very fine. Put together parsley, onions and garlic and cook slowly in the melted butter and oil till onions are cooked. Add in tomato soup, tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce and heat through.
- Put together all ingredients just as you would for a meat loaf. With a tsp take a little and form a ball. Size of ball should be about the diameter of a 25 cent piece. One lb of meat will make about 4 dozen meat balls.Place meat balls on a baking dish and bake in a 350 degree oven for 10 to 15 min. Meatballs don't have to be cooked through, just sufficient so which they will maintain their shape and not fall apart when added to the sauce.
- Add in meatballs to sauce and simmer for a couple of hrs. Stir frequently so which they will not catch on the bottom.
- When ready to serve cook spaghetti fresh and serve. Don't put together sauce and spaghetti. Serve sauce and meatballs over spaghetti. I use vermicelli spaghetti because I like it better. Batch may be doubled or possibly tripled for a large crown. Basic amount will serve six people. Most people like plenty of sauce on their spaghetti so I usually double the sauce recipe anyway.
