Description
Pasta and meatballs is one of the Italian dishes most loved in the North American East coast. Though northern Italians like meatballs very much, probably not as much as North Americans do. To serve spaghetti with meatballs, cook the spaghetti as the package instructions say. Arrange them on a hot platter. Pour the tomato and meatball sauce over them.

Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large bowl, thoroughly mix all the ingredients. Form into balls the size you want -1" (2.5 cm) diameter works best.
- Saute in the olive oil 3-4 minutes, rolling over so the meatballs brown evenly.
- Add the tomato sauce and sugar, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
Notes
Veal is a very lean meat with a very mild flavor, adding some pork makes the meatballs more tender and flavorful. However, you can omit pork meat altogether and use only veal; or you could make only pork meatballs. Other variations include substituting meat with the same amount of the same weight of beef, turkey, chicken or lamb.
You can make the meatballs in a casserole dish, in the oven.
