SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Place a large pot of water on to boil for spaghetti. When it boils, add salt and pasta and cook to al dente.
• Mix beef and Worcestershire, egg, bread crumbs, cheese, garlic, salt and pepper. Roll meat into 1 1/2 inch medium-sized meatballs and place on nonstick cookie sheet or a cookie sheet greased with extra-virgin olive oil. Bake balls 10 to 12 minutes, until no longer pink.
• Heat a deep skillet or medium pot over moderate heat. Add oil, crushed pepper, garlic and finely chopped onion. Saute 5 to 7 minutes, until onion bits are soft. Add beef stock, crushed tomatoes, and herbs. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes.
• Toss hot, drained pasta with a few ladles of the sauce and grated cheese. Turn meatballs in remaining sauce. Place pasta on dinner plates and top with meatballs and sauce and extra grated cheese. Serve with bread or garlic bread (and some good chianti!)

ULTIMATE SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALL SUPPER (RACHAEL RAY)

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to boil for the pasta.
• Add olive oil to a medium saucepan over moderate heat. Add the onions and half of the chopped garlic, and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the crushed tomatoes and tomato sauce. Season the sauce with salt and pepper. Let simmer for 8-10 minutes.
• While the sauce is simmering, make the meatballs. Place the ground beef in a medium mixing bowl and add the remaining chopped garlic, parsley, egg, bread crumbs, 1/2 cup Parmigiano cheese, salt and pepper. After thoroughly combining everything with your hands, roll the mixture into balls the size of a large walnut and drop into the simmering sauce.
• While the meatballs are simmering in the sauce, add the beef bouillon cubes and bay leaf to the boiling water for the pasta. Once the cubes are dissolved, add the spaghetti. Cook to al dente. Right before draining the pasta, reserve a ladle of pasta water for the sauce.
• Once the meatballs are cooked through, add the reserved starchy beefy pasta water and the butter to the sauce. Drain the spaghetti, discard the bay leaf and transfer to a large serving bowl. Top with the sauce and the remaining 1/4 cup grated Parmigiano. Pass more grated cheese at the table.

EMERIL'S SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Heat the bacon drippings (or olive oil) in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until softened and translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and tomato paste. Season the sauce with the basil, oregano, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
• Place the remaining ingredients, except spaghetti, in a large mixing bowl. Mix together just until combined. Form meatballs by rolling meat mixture into 1 tablespoon-sized balls. Place meatballs on a plate as they are formed. (Hint: If your hands are slightly damp, the meatballs will roll more easily without sticking.).
• Place the balls into the simmering sauce 1 at a time. Allow the sauce to return to a simmer, and cook, partially covered. Let the meatballs to rest undisturbed for 25 minutes before stirring. When the meatballs rise to the top, stir gently. Simmer, partially covered, for an additional hour, stirring occasionally to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Remove the sauce from the heat and serve immediately over cooked spaghetti.

SPAGHETTI FRITTATA FROM LEFTOVERS

Steps:

• NOTE: I usually use leftover pasta and mix it up with its sauce the night before and put it in the fridge. - If you double the recipe, use a 9 inch round form and cook about 10 - 15 minutes longer, reduce heat then to 375°F.
• Preheat oven to 400 F (200 C). Grease a 7 inch pie form or other small ovenproof dish with the olive oil or butter.
• Mince basil. With a sharp knife cut crosswise through pasta 2 or 3 times, it will mix easier with sauce and eggs this way.
• If you hadn't done so previously, mix pasta with their sauce.
• In a bowl mix 2 eggs, salt, pepper, basil and parmesan. Add pasta and mix thoroughly just to coat. The pasta should not "swim" in eggs.
• If you feel there is not enough egg, beat up the third egg seperatly and mix under pasta, too.
• Mix in any colorful additon that might go well with the flavors of your pasta, such as peas, peppers, chilies etc., but not more than 1/2 cup.
• Fill pasta mixture in pie form, level surface and bake in the middle of the oven for 25-30 minutes, until center is set and pasta looks golden.
• If frittata is too light in color put under the grill for a few seconds.
• Cut into wedges and serve hot, warm or at room temperature.
