Directions
All Day Spaghetti and Meatballs,This recipe requires a full day of cooking but the effort is worth it. My mom got this recipe over 50 years ago from an Italian friend. The baking soda is the secret ingredient to making this recipe a success so don’t eliminate it. When finished, it can almost be eaten with a fork. I quadruple the recipe so I have some to freeze.,This was good and easy to make. I too baked my meatballs instead of frying. We enjoyed it. Made for Spring PAC 2011.,Don’t be put off by the title ..you don’t actually have to slave away all day to produce this dish!! The sauce itself pretty much looks after itself,I did have to add more water to it at various stages of cooking,as I felt it was getting a little too thick.I also added a few chilli flakes,(as we like ours with a little kick)and a splash of red wine.I baked the meatballs,rather than frying them,just for ease and to reduce the fat a little. A very tasty spaghetti and meatball recipe.Thanks. Made for My 3 Chefs Nov 08.
