Bon Appetit!

Spaghetti & Meatballs

Italian seasoning is a mixture of dried herbs that usually includes oregano, marjoram, thyme, basil, rosemary and sage. You can substitute any combination of those herbs, or just use thyme and oregano.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 40 minutes

Serves: 4

Ingredients

1 large egg

Coarse salt and ground pepper

1 large onion, finely chopped {get that slapchop out baby!}

6 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup plain dried breadcrumbs

3/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving

8 ounces ground pork

8 ounces ground dark-meat turkey

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes

1. In a large bowl, whisk together egg, 1/4 cup water, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stir in half the onion and half the garlic. Add breadcrumbs, cheese, pork, turkey and 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Mix gently. Form into 16 balls.
