Does it make me “un cheffy” to admit how much I enjoy a dish of al dente dry pasta from the box with these meatballs, sauce and cheese? I think if you make your own meatballs, you get a pass on making pasta from scratch. More importantly, the al dente dry pasta here has got that wonderful texture against the tender meatballs. The leftovers will taste even better the next day when the pasta has had time to absorb the sauce and cheese.
The sauce:
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium yellow onions, peeled, halved and cut into thin slices
5 large cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 fresh Beefsteak (or 4 Roma variety) tomatoes, cored, halved and diced
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon dry oregano
One 20-ounce can of whole tomatoes
½ cup basil leaves, stemmed
The Meatballs:
1 pound ground beef (preferably chopped Sirloin)
½ cup Panko breadcrumbs
½ cup Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup chopped parsley
Kosher salt
Pinch chili flakes
1 large egg, lightly beaten
About ½ cup Canola oil
¾ pound spaghetti
11/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
