directions

  • Fry the onion in olive oil until it begins to caramelize, then add 6 cloves garlic, nutmeg, 1 tsp basil, 2 tsp oregano, and parsley.
  • Fry just until garlic browns, then add mushrooms.
  • Cook until the mushrooms have released their liquid, then add the spinach, and cook for another two minutes or so.
  • Add tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, 1/2 tsp salt, sugar, and wine, simmer on low for an hour.
  • Mix sirloin, eggs, kosher salt, 4 cloves garlic, 2 tsp oregano, 4 tsp basil, bread crumbs, and asiago cheese, roll into quarter-sized balls.
  • Place in ungreased glass pans so that they don't touch each other, and bake at 425 for 12-15 minutes, turning half way.
  • Serve over spaghetti with parmesan cheese and lots of fresh, coarse ground black pepper. Throw in a ceasar salad, red wine, garlic bread, and tiramisu, and you're a hero!
