Tonight, we will be having spaghetti and meatballs, with 4 bean salad, and mixed fruit in Whipped cream for desert.
Did you know that 3 lbs. of meat, plus onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, an egg and milk makes 54 meatballs? I didn't until today.
I made my sauce from sautéed 3/4 of a large onion, and 5 cloves of freshly minced garlic, added dried oregano, basil, and savory. Added tomato puree, fresh grape tomatoes, and a little tomato paste. I let it cook a bit, and there was a mild bitter note. I didn't want to add sugar. I thought maybe carrot would help. When I got into the fridge, I spotted fresh thyme sprigs. I added what I thought would be the right amount, stirred them in, stems and all, and let simmer for ten minutes. I tasted the sauce. The bitterness was gone, and the flavor was better balanced, and brighter, really good now. I baked my meatballs, and they are now simmering in the sauce. This is going to be a good meal.
