Cooking Instructions
- 1
If making the sauce, start this first, it takes a while
- 2
Fry off the onion & garlic in the oil gently until the onion is translucent
- 3
Add the tomatoes, salt, sugar & bay then cover and simmer for 1 & a half hours
- 4
Add the tomato puree, basil and pepper then simmer a further 30 minutes until done
- 5
For the meatballs, preheat the oven to gas 4 / 180C / 350°F and line a baking tray with foil
- 6
Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl. Add more breadcrumbs if too wet or a splash of dairy-free milk if too dry but don't overmix or they'll be dense
- 7
Rub a little oil on your hands then start forming balls with the mixture and place on the baking tray
- 8
You should get 24 balls. Bake for 30 minutes. If you make larger or smaller sized balls you'll need to adjust the cooking time
- 9
Put your pan of spaghetti on to cook to time with the meatballs coming out of the oven - if you're serving with spaghetti....
- 10
To turn the meatballs into eyeballs either cut a piece of meatball out and stick a half olive in the hole. Add some mustard for a creepy pupil.....
- 11
...or use slices of olive and stick on with mustard...
- 12
Spoon the sauce over the spaghetti/sub roll and place some eyeballs on top
- 13
The sub looks really cool when you put the top back on!
- 14
If you can't tolerate tomatoes, please look up my Tomato-Free Tomato Sauce recipe from my profile and sub the same weight of sauce for the tomato ketchup /paste in the ingredients list

Spaghetti with Meatballs Spaghetti with Meatballs
This challenge filled me with nostalgia. I remembered when my son wanted to learn how to cook his favorite foods. He started with eggs—scrambled, fried, and more. Then came ground meat: burgers, meatball soup, Smyrna-style meatballs, and the ultimate—spaghetti with meat sauce or meatballs in tomato sauce, which I’m sharing with you today in his honor, for all the wonderful moments we shared when, from the age of 8, he’d put on his apron and we’d cook together. His specialty is spetzofai, which I’ve posted before. He absolutely loves my Swedish meatballs, so I make them whenever he asks. Of course, he also loves moussaka, pastitsio, and stuffed vegetables, but those have already been published. One piece of advice: cook with your kids—you won’t regret it.

This is my mother's spaghetti and meatballs recipe and still one of my favorite meals. Unlike some recipes that fry the meatballs, making them hard and compact, these meatballs are delicious and fall apart tender. c.blumenthal
